The Evidence

The International Union of Police Associations was created to represent hard working officers yet our experience and research shows-

  • IUPA made $4.8 million in telemarketing donations but spent $4.3 on “fundraising expenses.” WHY?
  • IUPA Bought a $24,000 sports car for the Union’s lawyer even though he was already being paid $133,000 a year. WHY?
  • IUPA paid union leaders $533,000 in salaries and $102,000 in benefits packages. WHY?
  • IUPA spent $275,000 on “conferences” for the union leaders. WHY?
  • IUPA moved their headquarters out of Washington DC to Sarasota, FL. The new location is just 6 miles from President Cabral’s vacation home. WHY?
