Rick Skilliter always wanted to be a policeman.

A Bluffton police officer since 1989 and police chief since 2006, Skilliter announced his retirement this week. His last day on the job was Aug. 30, using vacation days until Sept. 22, when he officially retires.

A reception, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 22, in the third floor of the town hall, open to the public, is his official farewell as police chief.
