Chief Glen H. McLaughlin (1914-2007) began his career in Law
Enforcement in 1939, as a chemist in the Crime Lab at the Texas Department
of Public Safety. He retired from DPS in 1977 as the Chief of the
Administration Division. Glen joined the Texas Police Association in 1940
and served (without pay) as the Executive Director from 1960 until 1988.

He championed the State Law that created the Texas Commission on Law
Enforcement Officer Standards and Education (TCLEOSE, now TCOLE) and
served as Chairman of that Commission from 1965-1973.

Recognized nationally as a leader, teacher, lecturer, author, and mentor, Glen was considered
by many to be the “Dean of Texas Law Enforcement Education and Training.” His lifelong
commitment to law enforcement education and training, and the pursuit of excellence are in
keeping with the highest traditions of the Law Enforcement Profession.

The TPA Glen H. McLaughlin Memorial Foundation was established in his honor to provide
training scholarships to law enforcement officers who otherwise might be financially unable to
attend a particular training program. We are asking for a contribution of $10.00 from each
member to further this important endeavor. The Texas Police Association is a tax-exempt, 501
(c) 3 organization and your contribution to this Fund is tax-exempt. Please complete and return
this form with your payment so we can provide you with a tax letter for your contribution.

We appreciate your support!
