HISTORY
The CTACPSA is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization made up of local, state, and federal Law Enforcement administrators in Central Texas. The Waco and Temple-Ft Hood-Killeen metro areas make up a large portion of our membership. We are an affiliate of the Texas Police Chiefs Association.
The CTACPSA meets monthly from January thru October on the last Friday of the month at Troy City Hall, 201 N. Main Street, Troy, Texas. For additional information about our monthly meeting please visit Lunch Meetings on our webpage.
In 2012, our membership approved a corporate sponsorship program that allows law enforcement related vendors to be associated with our organization and make presentations during our monthly meetings.
