• FIFA World Cup Security — TMPA is proud to thank every member who helped keep FIFA World Cup events safe in Dallas and Houston. Officers, deputies, dispatchers, supervisors, and public-safety professionals worked long hours managing stadium security, heavy traffic, large crowds, and emergency response. Hosting the world required preparation, professionalism, and sacrifice. The world came to Texas, and Texas law enforcement stood ready.
• Fourth of July Weekend — While millions of Texans celebrated Independence Day with family and friends, law enforcement officers across the state remained on duty. They patrolled highways, responded to emergencies, managed large public events, investigated crashes, and worked to stop impaired drivers before tragedy occurred. TMPA thanks every officer, deputy, dispatcher, jailer, and public-safety professional who protected our communities while others celebrated.
• Protecting Texas Children — League City Police, Texas City Police, and the Houston-Metro Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force conducted a proactive multi-agency operation targeting individuals suspected of attempting to exploit minors online. The operation resulted in 11 arrests, with one additional arrest pending. TMPA proudly supported participating members and agencies by providing drinks, snacks, and coordinating meals with local restaurants. This is proactive law enforcement at its best—protecting children, identifying dangerous offenders, and preventing future victims.
