Montgomery Co. Officer Celebrates 55 Years On The Job

At 77, Lt. Thomas B. Jacocks is the longest-serving law enforcement officer in any Maryland agency.

The court liaison officer says he never set out to break a record - he just never got tired of being a police officer.

Chief Tom Manger describes Jacocks as a "cop's cop" and one of "Montgomery County's finest."

Jacocks was 22 when he joined the department on July 1, 1955. He says he had dreamed of being a police officer since he was 6 years old.
