DPSOA-PAC

Protecting Our Profession. Strengthening Our Voice.

The DPSOA-PAC helps ensure DPS personnel have a strong, respected voice at the Texas Capitol.

Your participation helps protect:

Competitive pay & stipends
Retirement & benefits
Funding for overtime & staffing
Legislation that supports DPS personnel and their families

Participation matters more than the amount. When more members participate, our collective voice carries greater influence.

Why The PAC Matters

Advocacy doesn’t begin when session starts - and it doesn’t end when session adjourns.

Between legislative sessions, DPSOA is:

Building relationships with lawmakers
Evaluating emerging issues
Preparing strategies before bills are filed
Ensuring DPS priorities are understood
The DPSOA-PAC supports candidates and elected officials who demonstrate a commitment to public safety and the DPS mission.

Your Voice - Even When Your'e Not At The Capitol

Not everyone can be at the Capitol every day - and that’s okay.

Supporting the PAC is one way your voice is heard year-round.

Broad participation strengthens credibility and influence - benefiting all DPS personnel.
