Throughout my twenty-two and a half years as a police officer I have held every rank from Patrolman ~o Colonel, including nine years of ser¥ice in the Detective Division. During my tenure I have serve~ under the administrations of three mayors and six police chiefs~ I was appo~nte~ Chief of Police by Mayor Raymond J. ~arker, Jr., and began ~ervlng in that capacity on January 1st, 19~2. ,,~al when a~ointed Chief of Police, was to do eve .L~Ything in my ~w~ ~o ~rovi=d~ the citizens of Jeffe~son~i~? wi~h. t~e _~est possible law enforcement available. I feeL, a~ Enls p~lnu in 51me, "we" h~ve ~tain~d this goal. I use the wOrd "we" .be~use ~ would be remiss ~n th~nking that I coul~ have~accompl~shed th~s goal .without th~ dedication and cooperation of all of the ~mployees of the JeffersDnville Police Department, including not only the police officers, but also the civilian personnel as wall. Their diligence, skill, commitment and determination to sei.~;e to their fullest po~ential, has resulted in my being able to see my goal attained i~ a mere two and a half years. Therefore' it is with mixed'emotions, that I am announcing my retirement, from the Jeffersonville Police Department. My decision to do so ~as reached after much consideration.

AN EQUAL OPPOR'PJNFD~ E~PLOYER Lastly, but most importantly, I would like to thank each and every employee of the Jeffersonville Police Department for their dedication, support and friendship throughout the years, and I would like to extend a "special thank you" to Mayor Parker for believing in my ability to serve as Chief of Police and affording me the opportunity to do so. It is with great pride that I say I was a Jeffersonville Police Officer for twenty-two and a half years. It is due to this pride that I chose to announce my retirement a~d the culmination of my law enforcement career while holding the rank of Chief of Police, the highest attainable position within the police department, a fitting conclusion to a most rewarding career. titude and appreciation, Rick Elliott Chief of Police Jeffersonville Police Department RE/mjb
