The Howard County Police Retired Officers' Association, Inc. began in 1996 when a small group of retired and veteran officers met for the first time.  The Association was chartered on January 15, 1997 and incorporated on September 28, 2004. 

The primary objective of the Association is to maintain and promote the history and tradition of the Howard County Department of Police and the men and women that have served the Department.

The Association presently has a membership of one-hundred and fifty retired and veteran Howard County Department of Police officers and employees. Although the primary focus of the organization is retired police officers, the rules of the organization do include categories of membership for veteran officers that separated prior to retirement and civilians.

The Association meets quarterly, and sponsors a number of social and fund raising events throughout the year, the proceeds of which support projects that benefit retired and active Howard County Police officers and community groups and services.

In addition, the Association supports a number of worthy causes such as the Special Olympics, Howard County Seniors and Law Enforcement Together Council, and the Howard County Police Officers Memorial.
