Join AAPRW Chapter 25

Join Akron Area Police Retirees and Widows, Chapter 25

Welcome — We’d Love to Have You!

Whether you’re a newly retired police officer or a surviving spouse of one, there’s a place for you in our Chapter 25 community. Many of us found that retirement brings a new challenge: staying connected with the friends and colleagues who became family through our service. Our chapter was built on that very idea.

“The reason I got involved with the Akron Area Police Retirees and Widows Chapter 25 in the first place was that upon retirement, I really didn’t miss the job itself as much as I missed the friends I made and the people I worked with and met over the course of my career.”
— President Jeff Leslie
