Meet an “AMAZING” Whose Lifelong Mantra is “Protect and Serve”

Lt. Thomas B. Jacocks, at age 84, retired from the Montgomery County Police Dept. in Maryland amid congratulations and kudos from his fellow police officers, after serving 61 years on the force. And yes, he did work his way up through the ranks. Not that he’s leaving entirely--he will be continuing as a volunteer.
