Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Dick worked an off-duty security job at my place of business in 1989. He was the first officer I went on a ride-along with. He was so dedicated to his job and his wonderful partner, Dino. We remained friends over the years and he kept a routine of "checking in" on me every night he was on duty at a convenient store I worked in. What a huge loss to TPD and mostly, his family and friends, including me.
Dick, you will never be forgotten. May you and Dino rest in peace, for you are together again, partners forever.

I was working at one of the malls as a security officer when the Tulsa Police Department lost a great hero. My supervisors had just completed the Tulsa Police Reserve Academy, and they attended his funeral. Even though I wasn't a reserve officer at the time of Officers Hobson's death, I hated to hear that an officer lost his life. No matter what state or city it's in, any law enforcement officer who gets killed in the line of duty is a big loss to every police department, whether it's in Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Florida, California or New York City. I've been a Reserve Police Officer since 1998 for the Tulsa Police Department, and I am proud to put on that uniform and continue the service of those who have passed on, they will never be forgotten. For those Officers with the NYPD continue to serve, and we will never forget those brave heros who perished on September 11th 2001. To all my brother officers who wear the badge stay safe and God Bless you all.

As I visited this site today, I saw that it was the 8th anniversary of your death. I know the pain your family felt then is still with them. May GOD bless them and may you rest in peace, Sir.

Officer Dick Hobson was one of the most dedicated K-9 officers the Tulsa Police Department ever had. Hours after other officers left a scene, he would still be there tracking and checking. It was not uncommon to have him come on the radio and ask for a unit to transport a prisoner, because he stayed behind and did not give up. No matter the weather he would go by with a big smile.

One of the best all around Police Officers I have ever known, any decent person who ever met Dick knew that he was the kind of Officer every Officer wished they could be. You will be greatly missed.
