Considered long overdue, a committee has formed to honor former Corsicana Police Officer Sgt. Robert (Bob) Glenwood Robinson, Badge No. 642, who was killed in the line of duty 58 years ago on Dec. 23, 1962.
A Bronze Statue has been commissioned, which will become part of Corsicanaâs Bronze Statue Tour, depicting Sgt. Robinson as well as honoring two other former Police Officers who have died in the line of duty in Corsicana; Charlie Maddux in 1904 and Vess Arp in 1924.
All three slain officers were inducted into the Texas Peace Officers Memorial in Austin many years ago.
Corsicana resident Shirley Robinson, sister of Bob Robinson, said she had hoped to honor her brother in some way for years, and recently reached out to a group of people including family members to form an official committee to begin collecting donations toward a Bronze statue.
