On Saturday, February 15, 1997, at 1:27 PM, the Garland Police Department suffered a tremendous and tragic loss.

Police Officer Michael David “Mad Dog” Moore was killed in the line of duty while apprehending a bank robbery suspect at the Bank One on W. Centerville Rd. Michael David Moore was an avid outdoorsman and he loved to fish.

We could think of no other tribute as fitting to our fallen brother’s memory than the creation of an annual bass tournament.

Plans for the upcoming 2023 Michael David “Mad Dog” Moore Bass Tournament is underway. The tournament is scheduled for Saturday, October 7 2023 at Oak Ridge Marina at Lake Fork.

Should the weather permit, we expect another great turnout of participants. In the past we have given each participant a tackle pack including a t shirt, fishing bait, and various other fishing items along with a raffle open to all attendees; utilizing items donated and purchased through partnerships with businesses such as yourself.

Since 1997, The “Mad Dog” Memorial Bass Tournament has been a growing event that would not be possible if not for the generosity of businesses like yours. Please consider our cause at this time and I hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you for your continued support.

The tournament benefits the Garland Police Never Walk Alone Foundation. The foundation provides support; including financial support for medical treatment, travel and lodging assistance, and mental and physical support in the home for officers in medical crisis.

We would love and appreciate to partner with you in supporting our endeavor to continue support the community we serve by ensuring our officers receive the medical care they need and deserve.
