FinancialCop

FinancialCop In 2012 he was promoted to sergeant where he served as a patrol and field training sergeant, and fleet coordinator. The goal of FinancialCop?

Educating first responders on building financial strength, and wellness, as well as full service financial planning, retirement planning, and understanding their pensions. Nick Daugherty began his career with the Grand Prairie Police Department in 2003, serving as a patrol officer, school resource officer, and on an underage alcohol and drug task force. After 2 ½ years he transitioned to lead the

criminal intelligence unit. Following his semiretirement in August of 2017, Nick continued to serve as a reserve officer until his full retirement in 2023. As a young adult, Nick struggled with financial mismanagement. He did a lot of irresponsible things with money, partaking in “stupid tax” (the art of buying toys that he couldn’t afford using credit cards). Before he knew it, he had accumulated over $80,000 in consumer debt, most of which was wrapped up in cars, a $21,000 car stereo system, and expensive vacations. He was tired of being in debt and tired of working so much overtime just to pay his bills. Nick recognized the need for financial education. He discovered the “debt snowball” method to paying down debt and committed to paying off all of his debt. He worked over a thousand hours of overtime over two years and achieved his goal of becoming consumer debt-free in 2007! In 2011, Nick was approached by Grand Prairie Police Chief, Steve Dye, who asked him to design and teach a progressive financial wellness program for new recruits at the police academy. This program expanded into mandatory training for officers across numerous agencies throughout the DFW metroplex. “Building Financial Strength in First Responder Families” has now been taught to personnel from over 4,000 agencies, police academies, national conferences, and leadership organizations nationwide, giving them tools to help them start to win with money and work toward their retirement goals. Nick is now the owner of FinancialCop, one of the largest financial wellness training groups for first responders nationally, as well as a full service, fiduciary only financial planning firm. Additionally, he holds a health and life insurance license and has completed advanced coursework through Ken Zahn’s Certified Financial Planning professional education program. Driven by a deep passion for teaching, Nick is dedicated to guiding first responders and their families in financial management and planning. To have a nation full of first responders that have the ability to retire when they want to instead of spending their time chasing down a pension!

Getting out of debt was tough—no sugarcoating that. There were sacrifices, long nights, and a lot of hard choices. But now? It’s all worth it. Not just because of the fun family memories we can create, but because we can give back and make a real impact in our community. Financial freedom isn’t just about what you gain; it’s about what you’re able to give.
