🌟 Happy Retirement Sgt. Jenkins! 🌟 After an incredible 34-year journey in law enforcement, Sgt. Mike Jenkins is stepping into a well-deserved retirement. His remarkable career began in California, where he spent the initial 13 years before making the move to Greenville County in May 2003, joining the ranks of the Greenville County Sheriff's Office. Sgt. Mike's service has been nothing short of exceptional. He has worn many hats throughout his tenure, serving in uniform, patrol, warrants, judicial services, and more. However, during the past 13 years on the Swamp Rabbit Trail, he has truly made his mark. Sgt. Jenkins' impact extends far beyond his role in law enforcement. he has nurtured countless relationships with community members and local businesses, becoming integral to those who work, live, and play in and around the Swamp Rabbit Trail. As Sgt. Jenkins enters this exciting new chapter of retirement we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for his unwavering commitment and dedication to keeping our community safe. Your service has left an indelible mark and will be deeply missed. Mike's retirement plans include cherishing precious moments with his family - his wife, two children, and two grandchildren. Mike, we hope this new chapter is filled with relaxation, joy, and all the adventures you've been waiting for.**The following heartfelt letter was written and shared by Sgt. Jenkins, himself:"As retirement gets closer and I look ahead to the next chapter in life, I also look back on my L.E. career. The recurring theme of my reminiscence is not of danger or excitement but one of thankfulness. You would think it would be filled with memories of calls and danger, but mostly it is not. It’s the people with whom I have served that fill my fondest memories. I’m thankful Sheriff Lewis took the helm and transformed the office into one of honor, professionalism, and respect. I realize he was not alone in this task, but it would not do justice to the many who served to try to name them all. If a list were made, it would include people from every rank and the non-sworn, all with a host of varied abilities and contributions. I am personally thankful for the men and women that have worked at my side, lead, coached, trained, and enacted discipline. Working with these people has made me more rigid in some ways and compassionate in others. I have seen and learned of the frailty and the fallibility of mankind, my own included. I want to thank each one of you that that shows up every day, does his duty whatever it may be, upholds the standard, and makes the sheriff’s office and our community better. I want to thank Ty Houck and the Greenville Rec Department for buying us motorcycles and maintaining a beautiful place to ride them with the best community in the County. By the way, the grass is getting a little high east of Holland Park, has anyone been able to get a hold of Ty or Rodney about that? To “Mikes Lil' buddy” and “You’re-not-officer Mike”, You two had better take care of my trail and my people or I will come back. I love you two and I am especially thankful that y’all have taken the calling to serve our people on the Swamp Rabbit Trail. You two are the right people to have answered that call. Best Regards,Sgt. Mike Jenkins ... See MoreSee Less
