WHY SHOULD I JOIN THE TEXAS SYSTEM POLICE ASSOCIATION?

Texas System Police Associations 


"PROTECTING AND SERVING THOSE WHO PROTECT AND SERVE TEXAS' FUTURE"  


Texas System Police Association is a unique organization that differs from many law enforcement associations. We allow campus police employees and officers to join with a regular membership that works for a campus law enforcement agency. Not only does T.S.P.A. look out for the welfare of the sworn personnel, but we look out for the welfare of civilians, security, and dispatcher of campus police departments. 

T.S.P.A. is also an all-volunteer organization. Many other associations pay their board members or a portion of them, which differs from T.S.P.A. Every representative and board member works for a campus police department full-time. 

T.S.P.A. prides itself in its ability to work with police and university administrative offices. We do not use a heavy-hand approach but rather an approach of mutual respect to the person or office with whom we are dealing. Based on this approach, T.S.P.A. has been able to accomplish many tasks for its members.

T.S.P.A. also giving back to its members, their families, and to the law enforcement community. Texas System Police Association is a 501(c)5 and contributes to other charities that are close to the hearts of our members. Texas System Police Association is dedicated to creating scholarships for children of T.S.P.A. members and has a dedicated foundation for that purpose. T.S.P.A. has also begun offering affordable law enforcement in-serve training for its members, which Texas System Police Association Foundation provides. 

Texas System Police Association is not only an association that works for members' benefits and employee issues. We consider ourselves to be a family. If a member of T.S.P.A retires while their membership is current; the members pay no dues, and the association will offer a Retired Membership for life!

T.S.P.A. has teamed up with CLEAT for our legal assistance. T.S.P.A. keeps a close relationship with CLEAT's executive staff. This assistance is available to members, whether civilian or sworn. You may join the T.S.P.A. and CLEAT individually or become a member of multiple organizations. T.S.P.A. dues are $16.00 a month. CLEAT dues are $30 a month. If you join both, your dues would be $46.00 a month. Dues are tax-deductible.
