Inspector Thomas Harris Retires

On April 28th, 2008, Inspector Thomas Harris, Commanding Officer of the 70th Precinct, bid farewell to the officers and community of the 7-0 as he left the precinct house for the last time. He is retiring after serving on the force for 23 years.

On his way down the steps with his family in tow, he was enthusiastically applauded by throngs of officers, community residents, and other supporters. Countless officers lined up waiting to cheer him on as he walked out.




Among many other distinguished guests in attendance were Chief of the Department Joseph Esposito, Patrol Borough Brooklyn South Assistant Chief Joseph Fox, representatives of elected officials, members and staff from Community Board 14, and officers of the 70th Precinct Community Council.





Before he left, he drove a lap around the block in the very first patrol car he was assigned to at the beginning of his career in the Police Department.



Best of luck to you, Inspector!
