The Precinct 4 Constables Office held a retirement celebration for Constable Ron Hood on Wednesday Dec. 11th , at the Precinct 4 Justice of the Peace Courtroom. Hood has served as Precinct 4 Constable since 2009, and the event celebrated his retirement after a 45-year career in law enforcement.
In a statement to the Century News, Ron Hood said, “Serving the public in Pct. 4 has been my greatest job…ever! I am humbled to have had the privilege to serve as their Constable and for their faith and trust in me. I want them to know that the Constable’s Office and I worked every day knowing we had to earn that trust and not to take it for granted…and I hope we have. The people here have been the most incredible bosses and the best community to have worked for. But honestly, I have always thought of them first as my friends and neighbors, and I always will. My family and I have been truly blessed to have been a part of this amazing community.”
At the event, Hood was the inaugural recipient of the “Ron Hood Community Service Award,” by Dripping Springs Republicans President A.J. Bergeron. “This presentation is coming from the Dripping Springs Republicans,” Bergeron said. “If you did not know Ron was a Republican, then that’s the way it should be. With a true public servant, you should never know his political allegiance. He served all our community equally and that’s exactly the way it should be.”
