Modesto Police Officers Association

The MPOA is happy to endorse Nick Bavaro for re-election to District 4 for Modesto City Council!

Please see our attached endorsement letter.

The Modesto Police Officer’s Association would like to send their deepest condolences to the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office on the passing of Sergeant Jason Whelen, who suffered a medical emergency while on duty on Tuesday, February 24th.

The MPOA’s thoughts are with Sergeant Whelen’s family, friends, and partners during this tragic time.

Last night, the MPOA joined up with Stanislaus County DA’s to support Juan Alanis for State Assembly. Juan has always been a supporter of Law Enforcement and lets our voice be heard at the Capitol.
The MPOA also came home with the win in the co****le tournament!
