DPS Troopers Foundation
Since 1974, the Texas Department of Public Safety Officers Association (DPSOA) has been working to advocate on behalf of Troopers, Agents, Rangers, Officers, Communications Personnel and Forensic Scientists of the Texas Department of Public Safety. DPSOA is the largest organization representing commissioned law enforcement officers in Texas and includes more than 5000 men and women who daily pledge their lives to protect Texans across the state.

DPSOA launched the DPS Troopers Foundation (DPSTF) to further support DPS personnel in need. DPSTF depends on public donations in order to serve its mission. DPSTF is a 501-C3 non-profit organization. Contributions to the Foundation are 100% tax-deductible.
