(KAIR)--A familiar face in local law enforcement is saying goodbye.
That comes as Russell Ross retires from the Jackson County Sheriff's Office.
Ross was serving as a corrections officer for the agency.
A ceremony in his honor was held Tuesday.
Ross' duties weren't confined to Jackson County. Instead, he once served the Atchison County Sheriff's Office, where he was employed for five years.
He also served the nation as a United States Marine.
According to a press release issued by the Jackson County Sheriff's Office, Sheriff Tim Morse Tuesday presented Ross with a plaque of appreciation for his “dedication, commitment, and years of service to the safety of Jackson County and the citizens of Northeastern Kansas.”
