About Us

The American Coalition of Public Safety (Formerly the New England Coalition of Public Safety) was formed by full time law enforcement officers currently working in the private sector. Our representatives and legal staff have extensive experience in both law enforcement and labor relations. We are committed to providing private sector public safety professionals the best representation possible.

The American Coalition of Public Safety is an organization that is run by it's members. The ACOPS Executive Board, made up of Local Presidents, determines the direction and actions of the organization.

ACOPS is fully compliant with Section 9(b)(3) of the National Labor Relations Act. We are not affiliated with any national union and we only admit private sector public safety professionals to our membership.

Services Provided for ACOPS Locals:

Legal representation during the collective bargaining process.
Legal representation provided for members during disciplinary hearings at the Local level as well as in District, Superior or Federal Court.
Legal representation provided for Locals during bargaining unit certification proceedings.
Legal representation provided for Locals for issues brought to arbitration.
Organized political action efforts.
Training for Local union officials.

If you are currently non-union, we will assist you in obtaining voluntary recognition or certification as a bargaining unit. The procedure is very simple and we will handle all of the necessary paperwork for you. The entire process can be completed in just a few short weeks. If you are currently in a union and are looking to change your affiliation, we can explain the procedure to you.
