 The Waco Police Association, organized in 1947, represents more than 230 officers and retirees of the Waco Police Department in matters involving their jobs, pay, benefits and working conditions. WPA also plays an active role in our community through charitable giving, civic, educational and athletic activities. Some of our projects include sponsoring youth athletic teams and chemical-free graduation parties, providing college scholarships for children of police officers, and assisting with Special Olympics.
WPA funds are generated through membership dues and local fundraisers. We do not do telephone solicitation. We hold a Memorial Run each year. Our major annual fundraiser is a letter campaign in which we communicate with local businesses and individuals asking for contributions.
Over the years, the WPA has worked successfully to gain significant benefits for Waco police officers. Some of those include the 40-hour work week, the establishment of Civil Service, and the provision of disability insurance. Much of the work has been at the local level, but we have also impacted changes for law enforcement officers on the state and national levels.
