𝟑𝟎 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞. 𝐀 𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐜𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭.

After three decades of service to the City of Richmond, 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐀𝐦𝐢 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫 is officially retiring from the Richmond Police Department.

Throughout her 30-year career, Sgt. Miller has served in nearly every capacity: Patrol Officer, SWAT, Traffic Unit Leader, and Sergeant. Sgt. Miller has been a mentor to many within our agency. But her most lasting impact has always been her dedication to the safety and well-being of our community and fellow officers.

Her retirement marks the end of an era, but also the beginning of a new chapter. Sgt. Miller now plans to spend well-earned time with her loved ones (including her furry companions!) and focus on the K-9 Officer Seara Burton Foundation. This foundation honors Officer Burton’s Legacy by providing life-saving safety equipment to K9s and their handlers across the country.

𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐟 𝐊𝐲𝐥𝐞 𝐖𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐲 shared:
“Ami Miller is the kind of officer every department hopes for: steadfast, selfless, and committed to making the community better. Her impact will be felt for generations, not just through her service, but through the foundation work she’s now leading in Seara’s name.”

Our hearts are with you 💙 Thank you for your service RIP

A Hamilton County Sheriff's deputy tragically lost his life on Friday, May 2, 2025, after being struck by a vehicle while directing traffic near the University of Cincinnati during commencement ceremonies. The deputy had recently retired from the department in December and was working a special detail.

Our hearts are heavy as we extend our deepest condolences to the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office and the family of the deputy who lost his life in the line of duty.

Your service and sacrifice will never be forgotten.
