National Latino Officers
Association of America .::. NLOA

The National Latino Officers Association (NLOA) is an acknowledged fraternal and advocacy organization. The mission of the National Latino Officers Association is to create a coordinated network of support without limitations or boundaries. The National strives to create LOA chapters in the wide array of law enforcement agencies and companies. The National strives to create affiliations with other organizations that provide representation and services equivalent to those offered by the National or LOA chapters.

The mission of all LOA chapters is to promote tolerance toward and understanding of the Latino culture in all public and private agencies, especially in the law enforcement communities. The mission of the individual chapters is to create strong bonds between the Latino community and other law enforcement agencies. As an organization our goal is to ensure equal representation in hiring and promotional practices. We also strive to ensure that members work in an environment that is in compliance with all equal employment opportunity rules and regulations; an environment free of discrimination, hostility, retaliation, and sexual harassment.

The National LOA represents members, both uniform and civilian, that are employed by law enforcement agencies on the city, state, and federal level. The National LOA also represents non-law enforcement personal employed in both the private and public sectors.

There are no ethnic requirements for membership to the NLOA or LOA chapters. However, members must embrace the organization’s vision and be supportive of its goals.
