Senate Joint Resolution 292 honors Chief Richard Hickey of the Brentwood Police Department on the occasion of his retirement after over thirty-four years of dedicated service. Chief Hickey began his career with the BPD in 1991 as a patrol officer and rose through the ranks to become the city's fourth police chief in 2022. Throughout his tenure, he has held various roles, including field training officer, detective, and captain, and was instrumental in responding to a bank robbery incident in 2002. His commitment to law enforcement and community service has earned him the respect and admiration of both his colleagues and the citizens of Brentwood.

The resolution acknowledges Chief Hickey's professionalism, integrity, and contributions to public safety, highlighting his educational background, including his graduation from the FBI National Academy. As he embarks on his retirement, the General Assembly expresses its best wishes for his future endeavors and recognizes his exemplary career as a testament to the spirit of service characteristic of a true Tennessean. An appropriate copy of the resolution will be prepared for presentation.
