APCO Mission
The Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials International (APCO) is a member driven association of communications professionals that provides leadership; influences public safety communications decisions of government and industry; promotes professional development; and, fosters the development and use of technology for the benefit of the public.
APCO International is the world's largest organization dedicated to public safety communications. We have been around since 1935 - far longer than any other public safety communications association (visit APCOHistory.org for more on APCO's 70+ year history). More than 15,000 members rely on APCO for their professional needs - from examining standards and issues to providing education, products and services.
APCO History
With more than 70 years behind us, APCO has a rich and interesting history worth exploring. View past bulletins from as far back as 1935, read meeting minutes and explore original charters. It's these decades of experience that make APCO the most formidable and well-operated association of its kind. Our governing documents, executive leaders and senior members are a testament to the public safety community's dedication and expertise.
