Exciting Partnership Announcement: WISA Joins Forces with WCPA!
We are thrilled to announce that the Wisconsin Security Association (WISA) is now an active member of the Wisconsin Chiefs of Police Association (WCPA)! This partnership marks a significant step forward in strengthening collaboration between private security professionals and law enforcement leaders across Wisconsin.
How WISA and WCPA Will Work Together
As an active member of WCPA, WISA will now have the opportunity to:
- Engage directly with law enforcement leaders statewide, sharing insights on security technologies, alarm systems, and best practices.
- Participate in WCPA training programs, seminars, and conferences, fostering professional growth for both WISA and WCPA members.
- Collaborate on legislative and public safety initiatives, ensuring a unified approach between the private security industry and law enforcement.
- Network and build partnerships that enhance emergency response coordination and community safety efforts.
Why This Matters
This partnership reflects WISA’s commitment to collaboration, innovation, and stronger public safety outcomes. By connecting private security expertise with law enforcement leadership, we can help ensure Wisconsin communities are safer and better prepared for the challenges of today and tomorrow.
We are excited about the opportunities this collaboration brings and look forward to sharing updates on joint initiatives, training opportunities, and ways our members can get involved.
Stay tuned for more updates and events as we strengthen this partnership!

Southwire is a family-owned company operating in a globally competitive industry. As owners, we are proud of the company’s legacy and good standing in the community. Southwire’s success is rooted in hard work, social responsibility and innovation and we believe that sustaining these core values is vital to the company’s future. We are long-term owners, have a long-term perspective and intend for our children to be long-term owners, too.
Southwire’s roots extend to 1937, when Roy Richards Sr., then a young 25 years old, started Richards & Associates (R&A) to erect power poles with the ultimate purpose of bringing electric light to his grandmother’s home.
Richards was a recent graduate of Georgia Tech, and while the promise of jobs paying $80 a month lured most of his classmates to New York, Richards chose to stay in Carroll County, a commitment he kept even after Southwire grew into a leading player in the wire and cable industry.
During its first two and a half years, R&A strung 3,500 miles of cable, becoming the nation’s second-largest Rural Electrification Act (REA) contractor. As World War II halted all REA construction, Richards was called up into the U.S. Army, eventually reaching the rank of captain.
