Michigan Association of Police Organizations (MAPO)
http://www.mspta.net/MAPO.htm
The primary purpose of the Michigan Police Legislative Coalition (MPLC) was to become directly involved in the political process by endorsing candidates and contributing financially to the campaigns of those seeking elected public office who support law enforcement issues, including Public Act 312, which allows law enforcement labor the ability to collectively bargain (with binding arbitration) with their respective employers. In 2002, the Coalition changed its name to the Michigan Association of Police Organizations (MAPO) to better reflect its mission and purpose. With its 8 member organizations, MAPO represents approximately 67% of the certified police officers in Michigan. Since its inception, MAPO has enjoyed the professional legislative consulting services of Lansing based Karoub Associates Inc.

Michigan Public Employer Labor Relations Association (MPELRA)
http://www.mpelra.org/
MPELRA has been working with Michigan State University's School of Labor and Industrial Relations to develop a searchable database of collective bargaining contracts to replace MPELRA's Contract Databank. For this reason, we are no longer updating the contracts on the MPELRA website. The MSU Contract database, along with information on how to submit your collective bargaining contracts to the archives, can be found at http://turf.lib.msu.edu/awards/contractsindex.html.
On a related note, Grand Valley State University has launched a new site dedicated to arbitration awards. Check it out at http://www.gvsu.edu/arbitrations/.
