The Kansas Narcotics Officers Association was founded in 1992.  The general purpose of the Association is to promote the cooperation, education and exchange of information among all Law Enforcement Agencies involved in the enforcement of controlled substance laws.

The KNOA is governed and managed by an executive board and trustees.
