National Structure
The Christian Police Association provides a visible framework for Christian police officers and staff from all denominations to join together in a unity of spirit and purpose. We enjoy the freedom to meet together, to pray together and encourage each other from small local groups through to our annual national conference. There are other CPA events throughout the country during the year. This is an important witness of our faith.
The core of the CPA is the Local Branch. To find out more about your local branch click on the button to the left of the page. Not all police areas have a branch but we can put you in touch with other Christians in the Service. Some of the larger Police Services, such as the Metropolitan Police in London, have more than one group.
Local branches of the CPA are co-ordinated by the National Council. This provides the vision and drive for the CPA. Made up of key members from across the country the Council provides oversight and direction for the Association under our principles of Fellowship, Ethical Values, Proclamation, Organisation and Finance. They are also the official link with equivalent Christian Police groups from around the world.

Deputy CPA President
"It is a humbling experience to be able to serve as the Deputy President to the CPA. Answering God’s call to be a police officer is never going to be easy – as policing itself is seldom easy – but I am certain that Faith equips us with all we will need. From time to time I have needed to rely on my training and protective kit to help in the face of adversity, but if I am honest it has been Faith that really prevails.
By providing support to all in the service who may need it, and by offering hope of salvation to any who care to seek it, the CPA continues to serve His purpose. CPA members, their branch leaders and the CPA central staff regularly demonstrate their commitment, usually in times of challenge, when true character shines through.
I never cease to be deeply impressed at what those in the police service
undertake and achieve on behalf of those they serve, and to be able to
take a role that allows me to serve in a leadership position in the CPA
is a challenge I relish!"
