HOW TO USE THE VCOPS
LEGISLATIVE INFORMATION SYSTEM

VCOPS recommends that anyone interested in following the legislative process join the "Lobbyist-in-a-Box" program offered by the General Assembly website. Click on "Lobbyist-in-a-Box" link to learn more and sign up for the free service. You can track up to 5 bills during this session and have emails sent to you when the bills change. There are easy instructions and setup is rather easy.

Additional bills of interest will be added to this page as we learn of their existence. Set this page as one of your "favorites" and sign up for Lobbyist-in-a-Box.

What you need to do to support bills at the legislature
.
Write a very short email to the Delegates or Senators in the list below each bill. You can say the same thing to each of them unless you know the legislator personally, or live in their jurisdiction. Let them know that you are a Police Officer or Deputy and especially if you live in their area.

Example: Hello Delegate __________ I am (name) and I work as a Police Officer/Deputy Sheriff in Virginia (unless you are in their jurisdiction then tell them that) Please support (HB# or SB#). Then give a short reason why they should support the bill. Sign your name and copy the email and move to the next name until you reach the end of the list. Once you write the first email the rest are easy.
