Please contact one of the following
persons if you have any questions about the L.P.D.B.A. or know of a member in
need of our services:
The Lubbock Police Department's Benefit Association
(L.P.D.B.A.) has been serving the employees of the Lubbock Police Department
since the 1940’s. It is an organization made up exclusively of police officers
and employees of the Lubbock Police Department. The L.P.D.B.A. is not supported
or funded by any state or national organization. The purpose of the association
is to show support and appreciation for our officers by providing several
benefits to them and their families. These benefits include:
- A plant or gift basket when a member or their
immediate family are hospitalized
- $1000 death benefit in the unfortunate
circumstance of a member’s death.
- Emergency funds for members in dire financial
need due to unforeseen circumstances beyond their control
- Yearly retirement reception including token of
appreciation for retirees (badge mounted on a plaque for officers)
- Maintenance of the Memorial Plaques at the
police department displayed in honor of officers killed in the line of duty.
- Financial support of charitable organizations
and events that involve officers and members of the department.
All funds raised by or contributed to the
L.P.D.B.A. is controlled and distributed by an Executive Board made up of
members of the association. All board members are police officers or employees
of the Lubbock Police Department. The
L.P.D.B.A. discontinued its participation in telemarketing in approximately
1997. Since that time, fundraising efforts have been limited. Although
telemarketing programs are lucrative, we refuse to participate. We do not want
to be associated with businesses that profit greatly in our name while only
providing a small percentage of funds to the members of the department. If you
would like to contribute to our organization and support those that make up
the thin blue line, please contact one of the people listed above or
mail correspondence to our above listed address. All donations are tax
deductible. Your support is greatly appreciated.
