Suffolk police chief Freeman to hang up the holster Jan. 1
November 13, 2008 | Virginia News
William Freeman was kicking in the door of a burning house when Capt. Dean Smith first saw him 20 years ago.
Freeman wasn't required on the scene of the fire, he was just there to help out. It proved to be Freeman's style through the years, said those who have worked with him. He showed up at traffic stops, dropped in on disturbances and worked alongside detectives he supervised.
Freeman, a 37-year police veteran who rose from rookie to the force's highest rank, will retire on Jan. 1.
