During Monday night’s Mesquite City Council the city presented retired Mesquite Officer Jon V. Latimore’s family with a replica street sign for Officer Jon V. Latimore Dr. which will be up on Honorary Road for the next 30 days in his honor.
Latimore was Mesquite’s first African-American police officer and died at the age of 61 in 2018 but his contributions to the community will not be forgotten. He served Mesquite for 28 years and retired in 2013.
