How the Public Can Support the Municipal Motorcycle Officers of California (MMOC)

Updated

The public can support MMOC in three documented ways: attending its events around California, buying "MMOC" collector items online, and contributing to its charitable work, most recently the "Every 15 Minutes" (E15M) campaign in Southern and Northern California. These routes are open to general-public supporters, not just law enforcement — MMOC states its supporters come "from all walks of life."

Who MMOC Is and Why It Fundraises

MMOC — the Municipal Motorcycle Officers of California — has existed since 1928. It describes itself as a non-profit corporation whose goal is to promote traffic safety throughout California. Its membership is not limited to active officers: it includes active and retired law enforcement personnel plus other professionals such as judges, district attorneys, chiefs of police, sheriffs, and others.

Because it is a non-profit with a public-safety mission, MMOC says it raises funds to support that goal through events across the state and through online sales of "MMOC" collector items. That is the mechanism behind the support options below.

Ways to Support MMOC

1. Attend an event

MMOC holds events throughout California to raise funds for its traffic-safety goal. The site maintains a Calendar of Events, which is the practical starting point for finding something near you. The largest recurring item on that calendar is the annual convention.

2. Buy MMOC collector items

MMOC sells collector items online, with proceeds directed toward its mission. The site's product pages use a "quick view" format, so you can preview an item before opening its full listing.

3. Give to MMOC's charitable focus

MMOC's most recent charitable focus is the "Every 15 Minutes" (E15M) campaign, run in both Southern and Northern California. The site points visitors to more information on E15M and to a record of which schools have received MMOC donations — useful if you want to see where support has already gone before deciding to contribute.

The Annual Convention: A Concrete Example

If you want a specific, dated way to participate, the 96th Annual Convention is listed for 20–24 September 2026 at Cliff's Hotel and Spa in Pismo Beach, CA. That gives you a location, a date range, and a host venue to plan around. Check the Calendar of Events for any updates, registration details, or additional gatherings, since the site presents the convention as one entry among its statewide events.

Other Things Worth Knowing

  • MMOC Honor Guard and "The Flying Cross" appear as named pages on the site, alongside a photo gallery and a "Read the Latest News" section — places to look if you want to understand the organization's ceremonial and recognition side before supporting it.
  • The site lists no pricing or payment details in the material available, so treat cost, checkout method, and any membership or login requirements as things to confirm on the individual event or product page rather than assuming.
  • Support is not restricted to members. MMOC explicitly notes strong supporters from the general public, so attending, buying, or donating does not require a law enforcement connection.
