The Iowa Association of Women Police was created in 1982 and is an affiliate member of the International Association of Women Police. IaAWP is an official non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of women in law enforcement.
Every spring IaAWP holds a training conference to promote this mission. Every fall, IaAWP has a business meeting to conduct official business, network, have lunch, and receive training updates. Meeting locations vary. IaAWP publishes a newsletter informing members of: upcoming events, officer safety issues, and previous meeting minutes.
Every member is encouraged to volunteer and take responsibilities for the organization, become involved, and promote professionalism in law enforcement.

Nominations for “Officer of the Year” are welcome one month before the spring conference. If you know of an officer that has gone above and beyond the call of duty, or does an extraordinary job everyday of the year, please take the time to submit their name for “Officer of the Year.”
