The mission of APOPUS is to advocate for police officer EMT/paramedics across the United States and increase training, knowledge, and competition among our members.  Our advocacy exists on two fronts.  The first is in securing discounted training and educational opportunities; travel, equipment, exhibitions, competitions and certifications.  The second is to foster professional discourse and communication between our members by recommending pertinent professional journals and articles as well as high-quality initial and sustainment training centers.  In doing so, APOPUS seeks to ultimately advance both the recognition and career opportunities of our members and all professional emergency public servants in the United States.
