President's Message

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, WELCOME TO THE DALLAS COUNTY SHERIFF'S ASSOCIATION WEB PAGE!

Look for us on FACEBOOK and TWITTER for information about the association and upcoming events. Active members in good standing are eligible to receive $1,000. death benefit for your beneficiary. So, make sure we have a beneficiary listed for you. Please email us any time you have a change of address or phone number. We welcome your input and participation in the association. The association is here when you need us! We have been here since 1971 and through the years, we have assisted our members many times when they needed our help.

Remember, our legal plan is through TMPA and we highly encourage everyone to choose that option. We believe it is the best legal plan out there for the protection of law enforcement employees. For only $28. a month, TMPA has unmatched legal protection using private practice attorneys who will respond to critical incidents 24 hours a day, seven days a week within two hours. TMPA also provides a $10,000. death benefit for on-duty deaths of members,. Each July TMPA awards $20,000. in scholarships through TMPA Charities. TMPA is very active in the legislative session benefiting law enforcement. You can help by supporting the TMPA PAC. For more information refer to the TMPA.ORG website.

TMPA PAC has become more and more important to all of us. We need to support politicians who will support legislation that is important to law enforcement. As little as $1 a month can make a big difference! Each legislative session we attend hearings and work to present bills in the legislature that are important to our members. If you would like to contribute to the TMPA PAC or to TMPA Charities, send us a new application with the amount listed in the bottom section. In the near future, we hope to be setting up a benevolence fund to assist those in need during emergency situations and counseling services for our members.

We have AFLAC supplemental insurance available to our members through Len Rubin Insurance. Contact Len at (972) 931-9600 for more information.

Meetings are held every third Tuesday at 5:00 PM at our office located in the Chase Bank building, 1881 Sylvan Avenue, Suite 250 , in Dallas . Conveniently located close to downtown at IH-30 and Sylvan. We encourage our members to participate in the association and attend meetings. Please feel free to contact me if you have any question or concerns.
