Though the MPOA is not officially part of the Muscatine Police Department, it does pride itself on working to help advance the departments mission of serving the community where ever possible.

Formed in 1934 as a local affiliate of the Iowa State Police Association, the MPOA was only the 6th such group in Iowa to join the new state association. In the years since then the ISPA has grown to become the largest association of law enforcement professionals in Iowa and the MPOA has grown with it.

The MPOA Mission

  • To foster and contribute to charitable, civic, patriotic and fraternal organizations and activities, with a specific emphasis on those involving youth.
  • To promote and sponsor Law Enforcement Memorial Week and other activities that will increase community awareness of the dangers associated with police work.
  • To promote goodwill between this association and the community it serves.

The Muscatine Police Officers Association proudly supports various youth programs in Muscatine. The most well know program that the MPOA organizes is the annual Shop With a Cop event.  The Shop with a Cop program is a holiday-time initiative that pairs police officers with children to buy gifts for themselves and their families. The program aims to provide a positive experience for children in our community and help them spend time with adult role models. This is by far everyone’s favorite event to help with!
