Who We Are

UCOA Was Officially Incorporated in 1990
The Utah Conservation Officers Association (UCOA) was formed in 1990 as a non-profit organization in the State of Utah. UCOA was organized exclusively for the purpose of “lessoning the burdens of government” by unifying the Conservation Officers of the State of Utah as a body acting together to protect and conserve Utah’s wildlife resources.
UCOA’s mission is:
-
To provide wildlife conservation education to the public;
-
To provide services and support to fallen, disabled, and retired Utah Conservation Officers, their dependents, and their families; and ultimately
-
To improve the welfare of all enforcement employees, their families, and their dependents.
