POPAI Membership

Our new membership year begins in January. Departments can request invoices now or receive them in January for those who typically pay together.

Membership Options:

  • Probation Officer Membership – $30
    Available to certified Probation Officers currently employed in Indiana.
  • Associate Membership – $15
    Open to former Indiana Probation Officers without Life Membership, probation interns or support staff, non-certified community corrections staff, and Indiana college or university students interested in criminal justice.

While departments often purchase memberships for their officers, once paid within the year of membership, the individual owns it and it cannot be transferred or returned to the Department.

However, if a department purchases a membership before January of the membership year, it is expected the officer will be employed by that department at the start of the year. Departments should inform the Membership Coordinator by January 1 if any changes occur so the membership can be credited to the department for another eligible team member.

Once Annual Membership Verification is sent after January 5, memberships are non-transferable.

For conference registrations, refunds are only available for the registration fee within the refund period. If a membership is included with the registration, it is non-refundable.

Members in counties without department-sponsored memberships may pay individually.
