Who We Are

The Berkeley Police Association was founded in 1953 by the sworn officers of the Berkeley Police Department. The goal of the Berkeley Police Association is to partner with the community and provide quality police service through community interaction, emphasizing the highest degree of cooperation, professionalism and ethical behavior, and to create an atmosphere of safety and security. Our community policing approach helps neighborhoods keep safe by working with our police officers daily.

We have proudly served the community of Berkeley for over 100 years. We are committed to not only the safety of our citizens and businesses but to providing charitable contributions to those in our community who need our help the most. Currently we are involved with the East Bay Humane Society, the Special Olympics, the Wounded Warrior Project, the AIDS lifecycle ride, and other charitable organizations. For more information about the work we do in our communities please visit our Supported Charities page. To help us better serve you and our community we share, please feel free to join our mission by participating in any of our events or donating toward our cause. Thank you for your support and contributions.
