Retired Officers
The purpose of the Association is to promote and foster law enforcement in Howard County, to increase the effectiveness of the police profession, and to enhance the confidence of the public in the Department of Police for Howard County.
A primary objective of the Association is to maintain and promote the history and tradition of the Howard County Department of Police and the men and women that have served the Department.
The Association presently has a membership of one-hundred and thirty nine retired and veteran Howard County Department of Police officers and employees. Although the primary focus of the organization is retired police officers, the rules of the organization do include categories of membership for veteran officers that separated prior to retirement and civilians.
The Association meets quarterly, and sponsors a number of social and fund raising events throughout the year, the proceeds of which support projects that benefit retired and active Howard County Police officers and community groups and services.
In addition, the Association supports a number of worthy causes such as the Special Olympics, Howard County Seniors and Law Enforcement Together Council, and the Howard County Police Officers Memorial.
