The Volusia County Deputies Association (VCDA) is a fraternal organization which represents the brave deputies with the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office. By affiliating with the I.U.P.A., the deputies chose to enhance their protect with the Legal Defense Fund which protects them civilly and criminally.

The International Union of Police Associations is the only AFL-CIO union chartered exclusively for law enforcement and law enforcement support personnel. The I.U.P.A. consists of Locals from around the country and because of those national affiliations, the I.U.P.A. is in a unique position of strength within the labor movement. While I.U.P.A.’s officers, active and retired law enforcement officers, fight to improve the lives of their brothers and sisters in law enforcement, I.U.P.A. works to improve legislation that protects and affects public safety officers, as well as representing the needs of law enforcement officers and support personnel, whether that be for better equipment, more staff or a fair wage.
