Retired Military Police Association

What Retired Military Police Association does

The Retired Military Police Officers Association (RMPOA) is a 501(c)(19) tax-exempt, non-stock nonprofit corporation incorporated in the Commonwealth of Virginia, serving retired U.S. Army Military Police officers, warrant officers, and their surviving spouses. The association was informally established in 1976 in Orlando, Florida, when a small group of retired officers began an annual reunion tradition that has continued uninterrupted for 50 years. As of the 2025 editorial cycle, RMPOA's membership directory lists 1,640 members — 1,281 retirees, 351 widows and widowers, and 8 associate members — across the United States.

RMPOA's core products are a biannual printed publication (the RMPOA Digest), a $12 mail-order membership directory used for invitation mailing lists, an annual multi-day reunion rotating across U.S. cities, and a memorial notification service for deceased members. There is no proprietary technology: the website is hosted on a standard Homestead platform, and all member communications are conducted through email (916 of 1,640 members have email on file), postal mail, and in-person contact. All operational functions — Executive Director, Digest editors, Treasurer, Membership Director, Memorials Manager, Reunion Coordinators, and Webmaster — are performed by unpaid volunteers, and the Secretary role is currently vacant.

RMPOA charges no membership dues and is funded entirely by individual donations (average donation $104), directory sales at cost recovery, and attendee-paid reunion registration. Distribution is direct-to-member only: no products are sold commercially, no advertising is run, and the marketing motion is community-led, relying on word-of-mouth referrals among serving and retired MP officers, the biannual Digest, a Facebook page, and direct mail. The association is governed without elected officers or formal bylaws, and its continuity rests on the unbroken 50-year reunion tradition.
