Roll of Honor
Incident
Officer Frank Glasgow was shot and killed during an ambush as he walked home from work at the end of his shift.
The suspect who committed the shooting had been convinced by a local doctor that Officer Glasgow had said derogatory statements about the his wife.
The doctor had held a grudge against Officer Glasgow as the result of the officer charging him with murder, which resulted from an illegally performed abortion.
The suspect who shot Officer Glasgow was sentenced to 5 years in prison. The doctor was sentenced to life in prison but the sentence was later overturned.
Officer Glasgow had served with the Hillsboro Police Department for 3 years.
I worked for Hillsboro Police Department for 25 yrs and Hill County for 11 after that. I just recently discovered your story. I am ashamed to say, that we say that we will never forget, but apparently we do. On this day, May 1, 2024, I along with a few others have researched your story, and plan on bringing you back into our memories. I promise you, I will never forget and I will try to ensure that nobody does. Thank you for your sacrifice.
It is with a humbled heart that I try to live up to that, which you have given so much. God Bless you my Friend, My Hero.
