The
Kingston Police Department is mourning the loss of a former lieutenant, James
Brooks.
Brooks
passed away on Tuesday, and public services have yet to be announced.
He was
hired to the force in 1977 and rose through the ranks before his retirement in
2011.
The Kingston Police Department said "Jim was
not only an effective leader, he was a mentor and a friend to many."
They said he'll be remembered as someone who truly
cared about his colleagues.
