The Minnesota Chiefs of Police Association recognizes the need for financial assistance available to students searching for a career in law enforcement.
Enforcement of the law in a democratic society is a complex task. The ability of a peace officer to render effective service responsive to the public's need depends heavily upon job knowledge and skills. The Minnesota Chiefs of Police Association recognizes the importance of pre-entry training to the accomplishment of these prerequisites. It also recognizes that some candidates need outside help in meeting the costs of such training. To that end, the MCPA stands ready to offer financial assistance as funds will allow.
Applications are accepted until July 1. Scholarships are awarded in August every year.
