New board members were elected.we monitored legislation at the state and national level that affects Police Officers and their families.

We published four issues of the Minnesota Police journal that informed our members on current professional topics and issues. We continued to sponsor quarterly president's meetings to communicate more effectively with members unions. We coordinated public relations and legislative lobbying efforts in response to the current climate for law enforcement in Minnesota.
