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.

Investigator James Richard Miller, from the Bastrop County Sheriff’s Office, is the recipient of the
Scholarship from this Foundation. He has currently served this agency for 11 years and 11 months.
He applied to attend the 2022b Law Enforcement Leadership Conference, which he was approved
unanimously by the TPA Executive Committee.
