TMPA Officer of the Month

Irving Police Officer John Mitchell

We are delighted to announce that TMPA’s Officer of the Month is Officer John Mitchell, former president of the Irving Police Association, and active TMPA member.

His strong sense of identity as an officer and TMPA member, compassion for fellow officers and the citizens he serves, and values of speaking out for his brothers and sisters at the State Capitol go well beyond the call of duty.

Officer Mitchell has been a member of TMPA since he began his career in law enforcement. “TMPA offered the most personalized service. It has a great appeal because cops represent cops,” he shared.

Having been a member of TMPA for about 9 years and having seen the works of a few of TMPA's attorneys, I was more than completely satisfied. As a member of CLEAT and TMPA, I would choose TMPA to handle my day to day backup without hesitation. ... more

Last year, Mike Gomez traveled to Hunt County and provided excellent training for a structured field training program. Since that time, and through his continued help, we have an up and running program that I feel stands out in the surrounding area. ... more
