After nearly 26 years of service to the city, Officer Ray Figg has served his last patrol shift as a Dalton police officer. Officer Figg's retirement from the agency was marked with a ceremony Tuesday afternoon at the Police Services Center.

Chief Jason Parker presented Officer Figg with his badge in front of a gathering of family, friends, and fellow DPD officers Tuesday afternoon. In addition to serving as a police officer, Mr. Figg is also a veteran of the United States Air Force. He served as a police officer with the Collegedale Police Department before joining the Dalton Police Department in September 1990. During his remarks at Tuesday's ceremony, Chief Parker noted that he was the officer who performed Mr. Figg's background check while Mr. Figg was joining the agency.

Officer Figg isn't heading for a rocking chair any time soon, though. He plans to continue on in law enforcement, joining the Whitfield County Sheriff's Office as a deputy.
