• Temple Police Incident — Temple officers were dispatched to a dangerous and unpredictable scene involving a man police say may have ingested PCP. That crisis was not created by law enforcement. It was created by illegal narcotics, interference, and bad decisions. TMPA stands with our members and rejects any attempt to twist this into another anti police narrative.
• Honoring Texas’ Fallen Officers — This past Sunday in Austin, honor guards, officers, families, and survivors gathered to remember the Texas officers who paid the ultimate sacrifice. TMPA thanks every honor guard, officer, agency, and survivor who traveled to stand in respect for the fallen. The ceremony can be viewed on the TMPA Facebook page.
• Fort Worth CRU Member Shot — A Fort Worth Police Civilian Response Unit member was shot while responding to a burglary call in what appears to be an ambush-style attack. The CRU member is reported to be in stable condition. TMPA stands firmly with the injured member, the Fort Worth Police Department, and every officer working to bring this suspect to justice.
