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 of up to $1.000.00 to law enforcement
officers who otherwise might be financially unable to attend a particular training
program offered by the Association.
