Anaheim Police Association

What Anaheim Police Association does

The Anaheim Police Association (APA) is a non-profit labor association founded in 1967 that serves as the sole collective bargaining representative for the approximately 400 sworn officers of the Anaheim Police Department in Orange County, California. Its functional mandate is to advocate on wages, benefits, and working conditions, while also delivering economic, educational, and social support to its members and their dependents. The organization operates from a single office at 3160 E. La Palma Ave., Anaheim, supported by a 9-person administrative staff, and serves a city of more than 349,000 residents. APA runs community engagement programs and operates an active Political Action Committee that endorses candidates for Anaheim Mayor and City Council elections.

APA's product surface is non-technological and event-driven rather than software-based. Core offerings include collective bargaining representation, the annual Memorial Classic Golf Tournament (scheduled September 14, 2026 at Anaheim Hills Golf Course), and political endorsements. A 501(c)(3) charitable affiliate, the Anaheim Police Survivors and Scholarship Fund (S&S Fund), was established in 1979 (Federal Tax ID #95-3493593) to administer college scholarships for officer dependents ($2,500 vocational, $5,000 university), financial assistance for families of officers killed in the line of duty (cumulative $185,567), memorial maintenance (cumulative $81,917.55), and support for public safety personnel in hardship. Distribution runs through the APA website (Squarespace-hosted), a Square-powered online store, an online donation portal, in-person office hours Tuesday–Thursday, and on-site event sales. Over 43 years, the S&S Fund has delivered $1,214,800 in college scholarships to 605+ dependents.

APA's revenue mechanics are diversified across six streams: voluntary member dues (funding both operations and the PAC), event sponsorships (tiered from $500 tee sponsor to $15,000 presenting sponsor), event registration ($250 single player, $1,500 foursome), raffle ticket sales, merchandise via the Square storefront, and tax-deductible charitable donations routed to the S&S Fund. Pricing across all streams is publicly disclosed on the website. The organization is privately funded (no parent, no outside capital), operates solely within Southern California, and has no proprietary technology, app, or API offering.

Scale indicators8 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights2 records

Broad incumbents

• Fraternal Order of Police (FOP): The largest U.S. law enforcement labor organization with nationwide lodges. Comparable as a police fraternal/labor body but operates at far greater scale and across dozens of jurisdictions rather than one city.
• International Union of Police Associations (IUPA): AFL-CIO-affiliated national police union. Comparable as a sworn-officer labor association with advocacy and member services, but operates at a national federation scale rather than a single city.
• Peace Officers Research Association of California (PORAC): Statewide California police association representing more than 70,000 public safety members. Broader scope than APA but highly comparable in mission (advocacy, training, member benefits) and political activity.

Direct peers

• Long Beach Police Officers Association (LBPOA): Bargaining representative for Long Beach police officers and a 2026 APA Memorial Classic Silver Sponsor. Directly comparable as a city-level sworn-officer association with PAC, charitable programs, and event-based fundraising.
• Los Angeles Police Protective League (LAPPL): The exclusive bargaining representative for LAPD officers, the largest municipal police union in California. Closely comparable to APA as a city-level sworn-officer labor association with a PAC and member-benefit programs.
• San Diego Police Officers Association (SDPOA): Bargaining representative for San Diego police officers. Comparable as a major California municipal police labor association with a charitable foundation, member benefits, and political endorsements.
• Santa Ana Police Officers Association (SAPOA): Labor association for Santa Ana police officers; 2026 APA Memorial Classic Gold Sponsor. Same Southern California city-level police union model with overlapping sponsorship partners and event-driven fundraising.
• San Francisco Police Officers Association (SFPOA): Bargaining representative for SFPD officers. Comparable as a major California municipal police union with stated PAC, charitable activities, and member-benefit programs.
• ALADS (Association for Los Angeles Deputy Sheriffs): Labor association representing LA County deputy sheriffs and a 2026 APA Memorial Classic Gold Sponsor. Operates a near-identical model (sole bargaining rep, charitable foundation, PAC, golf tournament) as a sister law enforcement association.

Others

• California Police Chiefs Association (CPCA): Statewide association of police chiefs (command staff rather than line officers). Adjacent to APA in policy and advocacy space, but not a labor union — included as an ecosystem peer in California law enforcement governance.
