A former police officer from Frisco has been charged with embezzling funds from the Frisco Police Officers Association.
Sergeant Colby Hill, who served as treasurer for the Officers Association and had been with the department for 12 years, resigned in August.
The Frisco Police Department initiated an investigation into the alleged theft.
An arrest warrant for theft by a public servant was issued for Hill, who subsequently surrendered to the Collin County Sheriff’s Office Detention Facility on October 3.
Frisco police did not disclose the amount of money that is believed to have been stolen.
The Frisco Police Officers Association operates independently and is not associated with the City of Frisco.
In a statement police Chief David Shilson said “To wear a badge as a police officer is a position of public trust. This former officer not only betrayed the trust of the community, but he also betrayed the trust of our FPD family. He stole money from his colleagues intended for benevolence and used it for his own personal gain. Hill should be held to account for his criminal actions, just as our community would expect for anyone who engages in such conduct.”
