Hinson of the Cambridge Police Department, passed away while he was working on September 21st, 2026. He was a 26 year Veteran of the Cambridge Police Department, and served in the United States Marines. He was also a member of our Lodge for 26 years. He was well respected within the department and the community and served with Honor during his years in Law Enforcement.

He leaves behind his wife and 5 children and other family members who loved him. He will be missed by all that knew him.
