The January 22 Challenge Coin
Reserve Your Coin At The Meeting
You are seeing the challenge coin which was slated to be given away at the next CBPOA general membership meeting in Nixon on January 22. Unfortunately, the production is behind schedule, and the coin will not be available until the April meeting. Be sure that when you are registering for the January meeting that you let us know to save a coin for you when we meet in April.
Thank you for your patience.

Peace Officers Prayer
Wow, 2026
We are thrilled that our God makes all things new! This is stated in Scripture, Revelation 21:5.
While this application of the verse is a secondary meaning, it is factual truth!
Thank God we each have a clean slate to begin the year. In every walk of life, let's make 2026 our very best! This is God's plan for us--now it's in our hands.

Make a Life-Saving Call
What does it take to save a life of someone being trafficked? You'll never know until you are in that spot. One important thing you can do is add this number in to your "contacts" phone numbers:
1-888-373-7888.
You can also spread the word and have others put that phone number in their phones as well. That telephone number could save a life. Do it now!
