Peace Officer's Legal Defense Fund

The Texas Municipal Police Association has protected the interests of law enforcement since 1950. Our Peace Officers Legal Defense Fund is the best because we:

• Guarantee on-scene response by an attorney to all critical incidents, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week or we will pay you $500.
• Provide legal representation from the attorney of your choice for ANY administrative action that results in suspension, demotion, termination or promotional pass over, even if the incident is not duty-related.*
• Provide complete legal coverage for all criminal prosecutions that arise out of the course and scope of your duties (on or off-duty).
• Provide an attorney to defend and/or monitor all civil suits that that arise out of the course and scope of your duties (on or off-duty).
• Pay ALL expenses necessary to properly defend you including: polygraph, private investigators expenses, expert witnesses and any other professional service.
• Pay all arbitration or related judicial fees that would normally be your responsibility.
• Provide you with access to an attorney for consultation before disciplinary*, civil or criminal action is taken against you.
• Have no deductibles, co-pays or reimbursement provisions. You never get a bill.

Check our plan and compare with others. You will not find another law enforcement legal defense plan that is more comprehensive or affordable.

Now our plan is available to Adopting Associations. TMPA Legal has modified the Peace Officer's Legal Defense Fund plan to allow for organizations from other states to join the POLDF and pay for a benefit level that meets the need of the organization and its members. The POLDF plan offers five benefit levels that meet the coverage and budget of any organization. 

* Administrative coverage is not available to Reserve (including Part-time and Full-time, non-paid) or Retired Participants
