(MURFREESBORO) Thank you Murfreesboro Police Department Uniformed Division Sergeant Tim Higgins retires after 32 years of dedicated service to the people of Murfreesboro.

Sgt. Higgins said, “I will miss my colleagues and being able to help people in our community. I really enjoyed working with the homeless because I felt like it made a difference in a lot of people’s lives. I was also on bicycle patrol for two and a half years, and that was the best job.”

Police Chief Michael Bowen noted, “Sergeant devoted the past three decades to serving our community. We would like to congratulate him on his retirement and thank him for his dedications and commitment to our agency.”

Higgins was presented with his retirement badge and service weapon on Thursday(2/2/2023), which was his final day of employment.
