DPSOA Programs

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 nearly 5000 men and women who daily pledge their lives to protect Texans across the state.

In 2010 the organization 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. For more information, or to donate, visit our DPSTF Website. Link to our Code of Conduct Statement.

Without your generous support, we would not be able to provide these important programs.
