Welcome!

The Association of Colorado State Patrol Professionals (ACSPP) is a membership organization made up of employees of the Colorado State Patrol (CSP). The ACSPP was created to assist CSP employees in a variety of ways. In return for paying monthly dues, the ACSPP hires a lobbyist to work at the Colorado General Assembly for their pay, benefits and working conditions. ACSPP Members also are eligible for discounted personal insurance policies, have access to an optional Legal Defense plan, get the Colorado State Trooper magazine, receive discounts at the ACSPP Online Store, and have a death benefit.

Members also qualify for benefits from the Colorado State Patrol Family Foundation (CSPFF) including college scholarships, hardship assistance, and a college education for surviving dependants of Troopers killed in the line of duty.
