We are a social, fraternal organization of more than 4,500 Italian American Law Enforcement Officers in the state of New Jersey.  We promote our Italian heritage through helping the community as well as all law enforcement officers and their families.

• In the Spring we hold our Annual Scholarship Breakfast where we present 10 $1000 memorial scholarships in memory of Italian American Police Officers that lost their lives in the line of duty.  Also at this event we present awards to members for valor, meritorious service and heroism.

 
• Also in the Spring we hold our Annual Benefit Dinner Dance.  This event is a gala event win which we honor some of New Jersey's Leaders in Entertainment, Business, Medicine, Religion, and other professions. 

 
• We kick off the summer with our Annual Night at the Races at the Meadowlands Racetrack.   This is a great family night out.  We picnic in a private picnic area of the park with a great view of the races from right at the rail.  At this event we give away 2 police bullet-proof vests to members who do not receive one from their department. 

 
• Columbus Day is celebrated in a big way by the IAPSNJ. The society makes a large showing in the New York City parade with our brothers & sisters on the NYPD Columbia Association. The society as a professional float and color guard and looks very sharp on TV.

 
• Christmas Time is another time of the year we strive to make better for the unfortunate. During the Christmas holiday season, the society hosts a Christmas / Holiday party for the Big Brothers & Sisters of New Jersey.  Santa is present to distribute toys to these needy children.  We also escort Mr & Mrs Santa Claus to homeless shelters to distribute more than six truck loads of toys.  To collect toys and raise money for this event we hold a Hair-Cut-A-Thon in November.

• In addition to these events the society has Legal Counsel, a Blood Bank, an expert Stress Counselor and much more. Also the society has a partnership with Caldwell College to help police officers obtain a bachelors degree in criminal justice without attending classes. With this cooperative program society members get special prices and credit waivers from the college.
