The Vancouver Police Officers' Guild was established in 1991. The VPOG is the exclusive collective bargaining organization for the Police Officers, Corporals, and Sergeants of the Vancouver, Washington Police Department. The VPOG replaced the Vancouver Police Officers Association as the social arm, and the previous affiliation with the Office of Professional Employees International Union-Local 11 for Labor issues.
The VPOG represents the interests of its members in labor related subjects such as contract negotiations, grievance and disciplinary issues, and any other matters protected by collective bargaining in the State of Washington. The VPOG is affiliated with the Washington Council of Police and Sheriffs, monitoring legislation and other issues that affect law enforcement within the State.
Earlier today, VPOG member Holly Musser delivered an End of Watch flag to the Bothell Police Department in memory of Officer Jonathan Shoop. Officer Shoop was killed in the line of duty on July 13, 2020, following a pursuit and shootout with a suspect.
Yesterday morning, Vice President Pat Moore met with Kari Van Nostran, the President of the Vancouver Education Association. Recently they set aside some money for a few events. Due to the Covid shut down, their events were cancelled and their e-board made the decision to graciously bless both the Vancouver Police Officers Guild and the CCSO Deputy Guild.
