Bill Slemp, 80, held his cap in both hands and stood next to Washington County Sheriff Fred Newman.
It was the seventh sheriff he had stood next to during his 58 years in law enforcement.
“You don’t see that many people that can stay in a law enforcement career for that many years,” Newman said to a group of fellow deputies, family and friends at Slemp’s retirement party at the Washington County Sheriff’s Office last week.
