The German American Police Association was formed in April of 1976, as an organization of Philadelphia
Police Officers who wanted to further public knowledge of the many contributions made by German-Americans in
the field of law enforcement. The officers wanted to create a spirit of fraternalism among members, their families and
the community at large. The association grew in membership taking in various Federal, State and Local law
enforcement officers, not only in Pennsylvania but many surrounding states and even as far as Germany. Meetings are
on the second Monday of each month at the Cannstatter Volkfest Verein located at 9130 Academy Road, Philadelphia.
Dinner is offered at 7pm with the meeting beginning at 8pm.
Mission Statement
Our aim is to promote a positive view of all Law Enforcement Officers along with the image of hardworking
Americans who are proud of their German heritage. We are a fraternal, social and educational association who
believes in Pride in our Profession and our Heritage. This association has members throughout the tri-state area,
across this great country and abroad. We are proud of the German contributions to America, in the fields of science,
medicine, literature, engineering, music and more.
