Summary

House Resolution 88 (HR88) is a formal commendation recognizing the career achievements of Chief of Police James A. 'Jaye' Loggins as he retires after serving the Mountain Brook Police Department for 29 years. The resolution highlights Loggins' extensive service in various divisions of the police department, including patrol, investigations, and administration. It recognizes his promotion to Chief of Police and notes several significant initiatives he implemented during his tenure, such as the take-home vehicle program and improved community relations through events like the Community Night Out.
