Glen H. McLaughlin served as the Executive Director of the Texas Police Association from 1960 until
1988. He had a distinguished career of service with the Department of Public Safety and
championed the State Law that created the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards
and Education (TCLEOSE, now TCOLE). In his honor, the Texas Police Association created the Glen
H. McLaughlin Memorial Foundation to provide training scholarships to law enforcement officers
who otherwise might be financially unable to attend a particular training program offered by the
Association.

CID Lieutenant Florencio Ramirez, III, from the UT System Police Department – El Paso, is the
recipient of the Scholarship from this Foundation. He has currently served this agency for 8 years
and 3 months. He applied to attend the 2022b Law Enforcement Leadership Conference, which
he was approved unanimously by the TPA Executive Committee.
