The Missouri Peace Officers Association hosts an annual conference which provides training sessions on current issues of law enforcement to keep members of the profession informed on new procedures, laws and technology. The conference enables members to exchange ideas and encourages cooperation among all groups of law enforcement. A free exchange of ideas and experiences is encouraged to help members in solving local problems within each community. When Missouri's peace officers work together in a cooperative manner our communities benefit and law enforcement is enhanced for the citizens of Missouri.

The Missouri Peace Officers Association is an Approved Provider of Law Enforcement Continuing Education; therefore, is POST approved. The MPOA training program is provided in conjunction with the Training Committee whose purpose is to promote the proper training of Missouri peace officers. Members of the Training Committee are: Chief Kris Turnbow, Raymore PD (ret.) Chair; Major Richard Gillespie, UCM (ret.); Capt. Tim Moore, Liberty PD; Chief Bob Ronkoski, St. Charles Community College; Major Dale Schmidt, MSHP (ret.); and Lieutenant Michael O'Day, Osage Beach PD.
