News Image Maj. Peggy Horn is retiring from the Richmond Police Department to work for the Virginia Attorney General’s Office.

Horn, a 25-year veteran and the department’s highest-ranking female officer, is leaving to work as an investigative supervisor for the Medicaid fraud unit at the Attorney General’s Office.

"I really have had a good career here,” she said. “I do not have one regret on God’s green Earth.”

Her biggest challenge, she said, has been to balance her family life and her job. Her husband, Cmdr. Jimmy Horn, oversees Richmond’s Fourth Precinct.

“I’m just looking for a little normalcy,” she added.
