Trusting in God.

To promote tolerance towards the understanding of the Latino culture in the Law Enforcement community and to create a strong bond between Latino community and Police departments. It also aggressively seeks to increase the number of Latino Officers in Florida.

As an organization our goal is to ensure equal representation in hiring and promotional practices. We also strive to ensure that members work in an environment that is in compliance with all equal employment opportunity rules and regulations; an environment free of discrimination, hostility,retaliation, and sexual harassment.

There are no ethnic requirements for membership to the LOA-FLA chapters. However, members must embrace the organization’s vision and be supportive of its goals.
