The Franklin Police Department is celebrating the retirement of Lieutenant Charlie Richards, who is concluding a distinguished law enforcement career spanning more than 25 years with the department.
Originally from San Antonio, Texas, Richards has served in numerous roles throughout his career, most recently overseeing the department’s Evidence Division. He was promoted to sergeant in 2014 and lieutenant in 2017. His extensive experience also includes eight years as a K-9 handler and eight years as a member of the department’s SWAT team.
Among his many career highlights, Richards served on the Williamson County Strike Team that assisted communities in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. He also played an instrumental role in establishing the department’s Peer Support and Chaplain programs, which provide important resources and assistance to officers and department personnel.

Palm Springs Police Officers Lesley Zerebny, 27, and Jose "Gil" Vega, 63, were brutally gunned down in 2016 by John Hernandez Felix. Lesley had just returned to duty following maternity leave, having given birth to a daughter four months earlier. Vega was just months away from his retirement after nearly 30 years of service. A jury of his peers and a Riverside County judge convicted Felix and sentenced him to death. That’s how our justice system was supposed to work. Now, without even notifying victims’ families, Governor Newsom has commuted the death sentence for Felix and other evil violent criminals who juries and judges rightfully sentenced to death. That’s not justice for the victims. That’s not justice for Lesley and Gil.
