Waco Police officer passes away
WACO, Texas (FOX 44) – The Waco Police Department is mourning the loss of one of its own.
The department says Officer Marshall Hobbs was born in El Paso, Texas and moved to Waco shortly before joining the Waco Police Department.
His journey of service started long before he wore the Waco PD badge. The department says Hobbs dedicated himself to helping others, first in the Army at Fort Hood as an E-5 Specialist from 2016 to 2021 before joining our department in January 2021 as a Police Recruit. After completing the 78th Police Academy, he served the Waco community as an overnight Patrol Officer.
To his brothers and sisters in blue, Marshall was more than a colleague he was family. The department says Hobbs was known for his sharp wit, intelligence, and unwavering dependability. He could always be counted on in a time of need, and genuinely cared for everyone he encountered.
During his tenure at Waco PD, Hobbs received a Life-Saving Award and Merit Unit Award.
