After 29 years with the Sheriff’s Office, Investigative Lieutenant John Williams is officially hanging up the uniform. Throughout the years, he’s worn just about every hat imaginable: Jailer, Jail Training Officer, Patrol Deputy, Field Training Officer, Honor Guard, Emergency Response Team Member, Sniper, Court Officer, Boat Patrol, Underwater ROV Commander, Patrol Sergeant, Investigator, Investigative Sergeant, Patrol Lieutenant, and finally Investigative Lieutenant.

If there was a job to be done, he stepped up. If someone needed guidance, he was there. His dedication, leadership, and steady presence have made a lasting impact on everyone who’s worked with him.

Congratulations on your well-earned retirement, John! Thank you for everything. You will be missed, but we’re all excited to see what adventures come next.
