HOUSTON COUNTY: Each year Houston County Sheriff Donald Valenza hosts a retired Law Enforcement luncheon.
The event has been held at Dothan’s First Methodist Church. A major sponsor for the retiree luncheon is Archie Solomon of Solomon Motor Company. There were about 75 retired and active law enforcement officers present. The attendee’s included Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall, Retired Bay County Sheriff Frank McKeithen and current Bay County Sheriff Tommy Ford, and others across three states.
Retired Bay County Sheriff Frank McKeithen had a 43 year law enforcement career. Sheriff McKeithen served as Bay County Sheriff from 2003 until retirement as Sheriff in 2016.
A good time by all. And impressive that Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall took time at attend.
Please be clear, Donald Valenza IS NOT retiring. Just hosts a luncheon for those who have retired. Lae Enforrcement is a brother/sister hool relationship. ANd even though you retire the friendships continue.
