Board honors Supervisor William Hodges with retirement resolution

The King William County Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution 25-68 commending Supervisor William Hodges on his retirement and recognizing his career in law enforcement and his decade of service to the board.

In the resolutions text read to the board, Hodgess career was summarized: he began law-enforcement service in 1971 with the Richmond City Police Department, served as a detective in narcotics, later was chief of police for the town of West Point, retired, returned as deputy sheriff for King William County and later served as a supervisor from 2015 representing District 1.
