OCCOQUAN, Va. — Sheldon Levi, a familiar face in Occoquan, retired Tuesday night.
Levi had worked as the town’s Police Chief, Town Sargeant, and Acting Town Manager. He entered retirement during a ceremony at Occoquan Town Hall.
“I am one of the rare people who got to grow up and do the job he dreamt about as little boy,” Sheldon said at his send off.
Levi is the only police officer in the town. He is credited with expanding the department’s auxiliary force to save taxpayer money in the town of about 1,000 residents.
From Occoquan Town Manager Kirstyn Jovanovich:
“Levi began his law enforcement career in the City of Falls Church, VA as a Deputy Sheriff with the Falls Church Sheriff’s Office. Since that time, he has held law enforcement positions with the Towns of Haymarket and Quantico, before coming to Occoquan. In addition, Levi served as an Auxiliary Police Sergeant with the City of New York Police Department, served as a certified EMT, and provided and taught fire service photography.”
A replacement for Levi has not been named.
