Biography
The Puerto Rican Police Association (PRPA) is a local association of law enforcement officers who are united in an effort to organize officers of Puerto Rican descent. Our goal is to develop, promote and encourage a greater understanding and cooperation between the Hispanic community, the Chicago Police Department, and all other law enforcement agencies. We also pledge to promote, encourage and develop a higher degree of professionalism, advancement and education among Puerto Rican Police Officers.
PRPA is also united in the protection of the community, but also to give back to it in a way that is meaningful and fulfilling to its members. For more than 20 years, the men and women of the PRPA have supported the mission Esperanza by brightening the holidays of our students. Every December, the officers organize a visit from Santa Claus, who arrives bearing gifts and cheer for all! For the students Esperanza serves, many of whom are from low-income families, this visit from jolly St. Nick is especially meaningful.
