He received recognition Monday night during a pinning ceremony at City Hall.
Rick Zweifel received recognition Monday night for his recent promotion to the position of major with the Richmond Heights Police Department. He took part in a pinning ceremony at City Hall as Mayor James Beck and City Council looked on. Zweifel became major in April, an online history of the department states. Zweifel has been employed with the police department since 1979 and previously served as captain of the field operations division. That division includes three patrol squads and police operations at the Saint Louis Galleria and The Boulevard-Saint Louis. He succeeds Roy Wright, who recently became chief of police after the retirement of Rick Vilcek. Capt. Craig Mueller will oversee the field operations division.

His family was originally from Richmond Heights, and he began work with the police department in December 1975. The Valley Park resident became the department's liaison at the Galleria mall.
