| It's not a job for everyone, but everyone who wears the blue and places the badge upon their chest are committed to serve and protect their community and willing to make the ultimate sacrifice when called. These men and women place their lives on the line every day to protect your life and property. The Chesapeake Coalition of Police, Local 5020, was founded in 1998. We are a non profit organization comprised of sworn Chesapeake Police Officers and support personnel. We are here to provide unity and support in key areas, and to improve the lives and working conditions of our members. CCOP, through member dues and contributions, not only provide our members with legal representation, but we also send our members to schools and seminars they would not otherwise be able to attend. We know the better trained and informed our officers are, the better they are able to serve the community. CCOP also strives to give back to our Chesapeake community that is so very supportive of those who take the risks to make this one of the safest cities in the country. We have supported many organizations that help others, including the Make A Wish Foundation, The Union Mission, local youth sports such as PAL and providing holiday meals and ensuring local families in need have a Merry Christmas with the CCOP Holiday Campaign. |
