The Atascadero Police Association has partnered with the San Luis Obispo Sdsa to sponsor the Murph 2024 Challenge at Headstrong Fit - Atascadero.

For those who do not know, the "Murph" workout honors the fallen Navy SEAL Lt. Michael Murphy. The workout consists of a one-mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 squats, and another one-mile run.

This event is open to the community, and the workout will be made scalable for all fitness levels.

Headstrong Fit will be hosting this event at each of its locations.

The Atascadero location will host the event on Monday, May 27th , with a community heat starting at 9 am and a first responder heat starting at 10 am.

If you are not wanting to participate in the workout but still want to support the cause, you can pre-order an event t-shirt below. By pre-ordering the exclusive event t-shirt, you're not just getting a cool piece of memorabilia, but also making a significant contribution to the Wounded Warrior Project. Every penny from the t-shirt sales will go towards supporting our wounded veterans.

On Sunday, members of the Atascadero Police Association and the Atascadero Firefighters L3600 got together for the second annual Guns n Hoses softball game at Alvord Field.

No one charged the mound and both teams and all family members had a great time.

We are fortunate to have the partnership with our friends at the Atascadero Fire Department. 👩‍🚒👨‍🚒

Looks like we will be hitting the batting cages more often this off season. ⚾️

The Atascadero police association (APA) represents the officers, dispatchers, and professional staff that answer your 911 calls and the uniformed personnel that respond to calls for service. We also saw the APD Facebook post regarding illegal motorcycle riding in the Salinas Riverbed. While it is true that it is currently a municipal code violation to operate a motor vehicle in the Salinas riverbed, we disagree with much of the specific rationale cited in the Facebook post. That said, we are obligated by oath to uphold the law, which means responding to citizen complaints of motorcycle riders in the Salinas riverbed.



Rest assured, our officers are charged with enforcing not only the letter of the law but the “Spirit of the law.” Sworn officers are granted discretion in upholding the law through education and promoting voluntary compliance in addition to enforcement action. The association leadership and management have encouraged our sworn officers to consider education when responding to calls for service involving motorcycle riders in the riverbed. As experienced professionals, we will continue to apply common sense in our response to all citizen complaints as we value the public trust placed in our officers and professional staff.



Because it is a municipal code violation that prohibits riding in the Salinas Riverbed, the Atascadero City Council is charged with changing the municipal codes when they no longer reflect the needs of the community. All citizens have the right to contact their elected representatives when they feel the municipal code does not adequately advance the quality of life of its residents.

The mission of the Atascadero Police Association is to support the police officers, dispatchers, record keepers, and community service officers who keep the community we serve safe even if that means putting ourselves in harm's way.
