About Regional Reps
Regional Representatives are locally elected or appointed police chiefs representing groups in the geographic vicinity of the state. These individuals serve as liaisons to the association office and the Board of Directors. They serve members of their regions by providing a conduit of information about the interests of the area and the state. There are nine Greater Minnesota regions and one metropolitan region that is comprised of six county associations.
