What Fort Worth Police Officers Association does

The Fort Worth Police Officers Association (FWPOA) is a nonprofit professional association founded in 1948 that represents approximately 1,700 sworn Fort Worth Police Officers. Headquartered at 100 N Forest Park Blvd, Suite 200, Fort Worth, Texas, the association is governed by a Board of Directors elected by its membership and provides member advocacy, professional support, and a respected voice on local, state, and federal law enforcement issues, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, or rank.

The association operates a Political Action Committee that issues election endorsements (including for the 2024 cycle) and extends its mission through two core charitable arms — Assist The Officer Fort Worth and Fort Worth Cops 4 Kids — to support officers in need and community youth programs. Its core technology stack consists of a UnionActive-powered member portal and mobile app used for membership registration, login, and communications; the FWPOA also maintains organic social channels on Facebook and Twitter for member and public engagement.

FWPOA is funded primarily through recurring membership dues from sworn Fort Worth Police Officers, supplemented by optional per-pay-period PAC contributions. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. The organization does not sell products or services to third parties and is not backed by external investors; it operates as a private membership association within the Fort Worth metropolitan area.

• Sergeants Benevolent Association: Represents NYPD sergeants with advocacy, legal defense, and member support services. Comparable to FWPOA as a sworn-officer labor association with political engagement activities, though representing a single rank.
• Los Angeles Police Protective League: Represents Los Angeles Police Officers as their labor association. Comparable to FWPOA in advocacy mission, dues-funded model, and political engagement, though operating at significantly larger scale.
• San Antonio Police Officers Association: Represents San Antonio Police Officers under a similar dues-funded structure and PAC activity. Another large Texas metro police association that directly parallels FWPOA in scope and operations.
• Police Benevolent Association of New York State: Statewide New York police union providing legal services, legislative advocacy, and member benefits. Comparable to FWPOA in member advocacy, PAC activities, and labor representation functions.

• National Fraternal Order of Police: The largest national police labor organization in the United States. Directly parallels FWPOA's mission of representing sworn officers and advocating for law-enforcement-friendly policies, but at a federal scale rather than a single-city scale.
