Fort Worth Police Department Remembers Fallen Officer George Parker Driskill on Anniversary of His End of Watch

The Fort Worth Police Department took to social media to honor the late George Parker Driskill, a retired officer whose end of watch came on November 11, 1935. On the anniversary of his passing, the

shared a touching tribute on their official Facebook page. Driskill was described as an officer whose career was cut short by tragic circumstances, suffering severe injuries after being struck by a motor vehicle in 1931.

As a result of his injuries, Officer Driskill faced significant challenges in resuming his duties. Although he attempted to return to work, his periods of active service were sporadic. Acknowledging Driskill’s predicament and his dedication to the job, the Fort Worth City Council awarded him a medical retirement pension. The social media post from the

reflects on the challenges he faced post-accident and the department’s enduring respect for their injured comrade.

Driskill died in his north Fort Worth home at the age of 63, after four years of retirement. The remembrance of his service and sacrifice has become a part of the department’s history, with his death attributed as an indirect consequence of the line-of-duty injury. This act of remembrance continues the department’s tradition of honoring the memory of those who have served within its ranks and paid a high price in the fulfillment of their duties.
