The Christian Police Association is a nationally recognised Diversity Staff Support Association (DSSA) for serving and retired police officers and police staff. CPA has branches in the vast majority of Police Forces of the United Kingdom and indeed contacts with similar organisations around the world.
The Devon and Cornwall CPA branch has members across the force area and we aim to be:
Supporting colleagues working within the Devon and Cornwall Constabulary, and encouraging staff to live out their Christian lives in the workplace
In order to achieve this, Christian staff meet on a regular basis within the different policing areas of the force and on occasions hold force-wide events and initiatives encouraging and promoting the Christian message and values. To find out more about the work of CPA both nationally and within Devon and Cornwall, merely use the Contact Us link, or click on the Events link.
