About Us

The Federal Protective Service Association (FPSA) was founded with a singular mission: to unite and support the community that serves and surrounds the Federal Protective Service. From sworn officers and civilian employees to contractors, vendors, and the families who stand beside them, FPSA exists to foster connection, recognition, and resilience across all corners of the FPS ecosystem.

The idea for FPSA emerged from a shared desire to create a space where the contributions and sacrifices of FPS Inspectors, Special Agents, and Protective Security Officers (PSOs) could be honored, amplified, and supported.

A key catalyst for FPSA’s formation was the desire to recognize Raul “Marty” Martinez and Pat Underwood as many in the FPS family believed that their sacrifice was not appropriately recognized. The association has actively pursued memorial submissions, benefits advocacy, and family outreach to ensure these heroes are remembered and their families supported.
