Police Retirees of
White Plains Association
The Police Retirees of White Plains Association is a dedicated community of retired law enforcement professionals bound by a common mission. Established with a commitment to fostering camaraderie and fellowship among its members, we uphold the values of service, integrity, and unity. Our allegiance to the Constitution of the United States and the State of New York is unwavering, serving as the bedrock of our principles.
Central to our association’s ethos is the preservation of our law enforcement heritage, ensuring that the traditions and values of our profession endure through generations. We take pride in nurturing a sense of identity and belonging among our members, honoring the legacy of our collective service.
Beyond our shared history, we are steadfast in our commitment to supporting one another in times of need. Whether providing assistance to members facing challenges or extending aid to their families, we stand as a beacon of solidarity and support.
Moreover, we recognize the importance of investing in the future. Through our scholarship program, we aim to empower the next generation by providing educational opportunities to the children and grandchildren of our esteemed members. This initiative, enshrined in Article XI of our Association’s By-Laws, reflects our enduring dedication to serving both our community and our own.
As the Police Retirees of White Plains Association, we are more than just a collective of retired law enforcement professionals. We are a testament to the enduring bonds forged in service, and a testament to the values that continue to guide us long after we have hung up our badges.
