“The last Centurion”. When the Roman Centurion had served the Republic for 25 years they were given a pension and land as a gift for retirement. They became farmers, civic leaders, businessmen. They were given the opportunity to live a new life. My time has come to lay down my sword and shield and retire after 30 years of faithful service. It has been a dream fulfilled to be a Policeman for the City of Angels. I now entrust the guardianship of the Republic to the”New Centurions”. Serve with honor. I leave my beloved department with a full heart and a lifetime of memories and stories upon stories. #lapdhq #lapdairsupport #joinlapd #policeman
