Giving Back
The ECPOA takes an active approach to helping others in our community in a variety of different ways. Each year, we host the Hawaiianaires Golf Tournament to raise money for the ECPOA Memorial Fund. It is through this fund that we are able to help out families of fallen officers, support youth sports, and provide scholarships to college-bound El Cajon high school seniors.
