We were honored to gather in the Council Chambers on Wednesday, December 10th, to celebrate the retirement of Chief Hawkins. The room was filled with colleagues, community members, friends, and family—each one helping make the morning truly memorable.
This album also includes a photo of Chief Hawkins receiving a proclamation from Mayor Bren Flanigan during the December 9th City Council Meeting—another special moment recognizing his 43 years of dedicated service to the City of Carthage.
Thank you to everyone who joined us in honoring his remarkable career.
