Our History

The Mountain View Police Officers' Association was founded in 1969, primarily as a social organization for the planning and funding of departmental picnics and banquets. Whoever the sitting Police Chief happened to be automatically became the President of The Association.

This idealistic arrangement lasted for several years, putting on splendid retirement dinners, but doing little or nothing for the plight of the rank-and-file. The situation eventually became tense, especially after several attempts to procure a competitive retirement package failed.
