MISSION STATEMENT

The Pacific Grove Police Officer's Association (PGPOA) is dedicated to serving the City of Pacific Grove by protecting our community and ensuring public safety for all citizens. The PGPOA works to promote professionalism in law enforcement through education and representation.

The first duty and the highest priority of government is public safety. We understand strong communities are not built by law enforcement alone. Citizens make a difference and together we can keep our families and neighborhoods safe from dangerous criminals. Our goal is to preserve the Pacific Grove Police Department for the benefit of the safety of the citizens.
