Which legislature was responsible for the creation of TCOLE?

The Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) was established by the 59th legislature in 1965 through the passing of House Bill 555. This marked a significant development in the regulation and standardization of law enforcement training in Texas, aimed at improving the competencies of law enforcement officers across the state. The creation of TCOLE was a response to the growing need for more professional standards in law enforcement to ensure that officers received adequate training and education. Through TCOLE, the state was able to provide resources and oversight, which has had a lasting impact on the profession and public safety in Texas.
