Did you know?

California Correctional Peace Officers Association

The California Correctional Peace Officers Association (CCPOA) has reached out to SCA with an extraordinary gift of $26,000.  Its commitment to youth and the prevention of crime speaks to only a small portion of what this committed group of men and women has been working on since the group was founded in 1957. 

CCPOA now represents the more than 33,000 brave men and women who work the toughest beat in the state—California’s youth and adult correctional facilities and paroles.

Community involvement is a very high priority among the members of CCPOA, and they are one of the biggest contributors to charities in California. 

SCA and the children it serves thanks CCPOA for its generosity.  Without committed groups such as CCPOA, SCA would not be able to provide the services so desperately needed by the nearly 5,000 abused and neglected youth that come before dependency court every year.

Thanks again to all the Peace Officers!
