CLEBURNE, Texas — A Texas sheriff’s office is mourning the loss of one of their own – 99-year-old deputy Bill Hardin.

Hardin, who was the oldest and longest serving law enforcement officer in the world, died on Feb. 17, the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office wrote on Facebook.

“It is with great sadness we announce the loss of a great friend, brother and lawman,” the department wrote.

Hardin started his law enforcement career on Feb. 1, 1947, with the Fort Worth (Texas) Police Department. He later served with the Tarrant County (Texas) Sheriff’s Office but spent the last 28 years of his career at the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office.
