On Tuesday, the City of Lewisville bid a heartfelt farewell to one of its long-serving protectors. After nearly three decades of service, Officer Ricky T. Jones has retired from the Lewisville Police Department. The announcement came via a social media post from the Lewisville Police Department, which paid tribute to Jones's 29-year commitment. With his family, friends, and colleagues, both past and present, at his side, the law enforcement veteran was honored for his contributions to the public's safety and the community's wellbeing.

Jones, surrounded by those he worked with, was described as leaving "a legacy that will be hard to replicate." But in the spirit of service that appears endemic to the department, the Lewisville Police Department vows to endeavor to do just that. "But we will try!" assures the department’s social media post.

Officer Jones's long tenure is a rare achievement in a profession known for its high stresses and demands. His dedication was mirrored in the camaraderie and respect displayed at the retirement celebration, hinting at his depth of impact on his colleagues and community.
