MOST SENIOR SERVING COP DIES IN TEXAS AT AGE 99

By Bob Walsh


Johnson County Sheriff's Reserve Deputy Bill Hardin will be honored by the Chisholm Trail Museum in Cleburne, Texas for his 74 years in law enforcement                 Johnson County Sheriff' Adam King called Bill Hardin a 'living legend' for his career in law enforcement

 
Johnson County Sherriff's deputy Bill Hardin died about two weeks ago at the age of 99.  He is believed to be both the oldest and most senior actively serving peace officer in the world.  He started with the Fort Worth P.D. in 1947.  He then moved to the Tarrant County S.O. and then for the last 28 years the Johnson County S.O.

EDITOR'S NOTE; Bill participated in the organizing meeting of the Texas Narcotic Officers Association at Sam Houston State University in 1969. Founding TNOA was one of my proudest achievements.
