PPOA is proud to announce that your association will once again issue a $200 reimbursement to 10 members who attend the California Peace Officer Memorial Ceremony in Sacramento. PPOA wants to encourage its members to attend this worthwhile event to support fallen officers. This year's event is scheduled for May 7th at the State Capitol. The first 10 PPOA members to call the PPOA office will be eligible. Following the ceremony, each eligible member must submit receipts for hotel and travel expenses to PPOA for reimbursement of $200. Only full PPOA members are eligible for reimbursement. In order to encourage those who have never attended the Peace Officer Memorial ceremony to attend this event, only those who have not previously received reimbursement for this event are eligible.
