Welcome to TCPA

Since 1975, the Texas Crime Prevention Association (TCPA) has brought together law enforcement, security professionals, and engaged citizens who share a commitment to crime prevention, community safety, and public engagement.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, TCPA provides high-quality training, professional development, and statewide collaboration while supporting programs such as Neighborhood Watch, Loss Prevention, Citizens Police Academies, and other community-based crime prevention initiatives.

Membership connects you with a statewide network of professionals and provides discounted TCPA training, significant savings on our signature three-course crime prevention program, opportunities to share best practices, and resources to support professional and leadership development.

Prevention. Partnership. Community.

For more than five decades, TCPA has united people, ideas, and resources with one shared purpose—building safer communities throughout Texas. Join us in our mission to make Texas communities safer, one initiative at a time. Together, we are stronger in the fight against crime.

Our Mission

To encourage the prevention of crime through coordinated and concentrated efforts, and through programs and functions that encourage citizen involvement and participation, to preserve safe environments and communities for the citizens of Texas.
