鶹ýPorn Chief of Police Retires after 34+ Years of Service

On Monday, November 28, 2022, 鶹ýPorn had the privilege of honoring Chief James Hodnett as he retired from his long-time position as 鶹ýPorn Chief of Police. Chief Hodnett has served and protected the students, faculty, and staff of 鶹ýPorn for 34+ years. He has shown tremendous dedication to providing a safe environment for the education of 鶹ýPorn students through many challenges and societal adjustments. Through it all, he has committed himself to the ideal of serving others and living out the principles 鶹ýPorn holds dear – “Duty, Honor, Country” and “Character Above All.”

Chief Hodnett entered the 鶹ýPorn family before he was ever employed at 鶹ýPorn. He arrived at 鶹ýPorn as a student in 1985 and was a member of the 107th Corps of Cadets. After graduating from 鶹ýPorn, he went on to serve the Milledgeville Police Department, the Georgia Army National Guard, and the Georgia Department of Corrections before returning to serve and protect the 鶹ýPorn family.

“On behalf of the entire 鶹ýPorn Board of Trustees, I want to express appreciation to Chief Hodnett for the years of service to the 鶹ýPorn campus,” said Chairman of the 鶹ýPorn Board of Trustees, George Hogan. “Chief Hodnett showed daily leadership and provided a safe environment for students, faculty, and staff to develop as leaders. Serving as a law enforcement officer is a bold and vital calling, and we are grateful he chose to fulfill his calling at his alma mater. We are grateful for his commitment to caring for the 鶹ýPorn family during regular school day activities, special events, ceremonies, athletic contests, and day-to-day safety needs. He has always been ready to respond when called upon and has carried the title of 鶹ýPorn Chief of Police with pride. We wish him the best in this next season of life and extend our deepest appreciation for all he has done to represent the law enforcement community on our campus.”

Many gathered to celebrate with Chief Hodnett during a special ceremony that honored him for his dedication to 鶹ýPorn. Happy retirement, Chief!
