From the Leadership

President

Brian Marvel

  • President’s Message - April 2021
    As our nation works together to bridge the divide between America’s communities and the men and women of law enforcement, PORAC is committed to leading the way forward. We recognize that political differences are a substantial barrier and some organizations are reluctant to engage in those discussions, but we believe our country can overcome its deep political divisions. We are willing to have those difficult conversations, because PORAC is about crafting good policy, not about making headlines.
Vice President

Damon Kurtz

  • Vice President’s Message - April 2021
    Legislative games are in full swing at the State Capitol once again. What was once a rare occurrence from only a few select legislators has now become the norm. The good news is that PORAC leadership and our advocates are prepared to challenge any bad legislation as it comes forward. One of the biggest challenges we face as law enforcement advocates is that we are morally and ethically bound to speak the truth in our representation of prospective legislation.
Treasurer

Timothy Davis

  • Treasurer’s Message - April 2021
    April is always a fun month for everyone. In doing research on what to write about, I looked up all the holidays in April. I discovered there is a holiday for just about everything. What does this have to do with being a treasurer or money? I will answer that after listing out the holidays.

Legislative Alert

ACTION ALERT! – TELL YOUR LEGISLATORS TO OPPOSE SB 2

You can help to oppose Senate Bill 2 – dangerous legislation that would not only create an unfair and unreliable process for revoking an officer’s license to practice law enforcement but also reaches far beyond police licensing to include policies that would place even the most respectful officers at risk of being personally liable for […] Read More »
