In 2003, the original "Canadian Police Association" was merged with the National Association of Professional Police, a coalition of American "police unions and associations" with a mandate to promote "the interests of America's law enforcement officers". The merger resulted in the formation of the Canadian Professional Police Association. At their annual convention in Victoria, British Columbia in August 2006, Canadian Professional Police Association members agreed to revert the name back to the Canadian Police Association because it was more recognizable and user friendly.[citation needed]
Their 60,000 members serve in 160 police services across Canada at the federal, provincial and municipal level.
