Remembering a Legend: Officer Larry Aubin
With heavy hearts, we honor the life and legacy of Officer Larry Aubin, a dedicated public servant whose contributions to the Pasadena Police Department and our community will never be forgotten.
Mr. Aubin was a proud graduate of Rayburn High School in Pasadena in the late 1960s. He continued his education at the University of Houston and earned a degree in Kinesiology before pursuing his calling in law enforcement.
In 1973, he graduated from the 24th class of the Pasadena Police Academy and began his distinguished career with the Pasadena Police Department. In those early years, officers took on many roles beyond traditional law enforcement. He worked as an Emergency Medical Technician in the ambulance division and served as a dispatcher—positions that, at the time, were handled solely by police officers, as there were no civilian personnel in those units.
Throughout his career, he played a vital role as a Field Training Officer by training and mentoring others. In 1982, he worked in the Crime Scene Division before transitioning to the Juvenile Division. While assigned to the Juvenile Division, he became a D.A.R.E. Officer, teaching and guiding Pasadena’s youth. This program was later moved under the Community Services Division, where Aubin continued his mission of mentorship and outreach.
After 31 years of dedicated service, Officer Aubin retired in 2004, leaving a lasting impact on his fellow officers and the community he faithfully served.
Though he may no longer be with us, his legacy lives on in the countless lives he touched.
Today, we remember Officer Larry Aubin—not just as an officer but as a mentor, a protector, and a true pillar of this community.
Thank you for your service, Officer Aubin. Rest in peace.
