VCOPS and the Virginia General Assembly

Each year, VCOPS polls its members to determine what is on the minds of the police officer's and deputy sheriffs throughout the state. The information is presented at our spring conference and those in attendance agree on what issues will be taken before the General Assembly.

VCOPS' 1997 Draft Legislative Proposal

Police Officer Privacy Act
Deputy Sheriffs' Appointment & Removal Act
Deputy Sheriffs' Salary Increase Pass-through Act
Assault & Battery Against a Law Enforcement Officer Act
Failure to Stop Upon Law Enforcement Command Act
Police Training Academy Funding Act
VCOPS is not pursuing HB 1493 this session.
