Lanny Standridge, age not mentioned, passed away on November 28, 2017. Soon after high school, Lanny began his 32 year career in the army as an entry-level Infantry recruit. He embarked on the fulfillment of his dream to fly when he received orders for initial flight training in Texas. While serving two tours in the Vietnam war, he took every mission he could, especially those that no one else wanted because they were too dangerous, even those in which he was told there would be no search and rescue should the plane go down. He retired from the military as a Colonel. Following his military retirement, Lanny served as the Assistant Director for the ASU Police Department and later was selected as Chief of Police. He lead the department on a multi-year process to become Police Accredited, by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA). He provided stadium security as Police Commander for Super Bowl XXX, received many accolades and designed a functional layout for three new police buildings that were completed on time and on budget. He then served as a Consultant for the Arizona State Board of Education which was followed by a career as Director for Teacher Certification K-12. He later authored an Emergency Preparedness Plan for Scottsdale Community College as a consultant. Lanny is survived by his wife, Becky, and his two sons. A Celebration of Life for Lanny will be held at Usery Mountain Park Saturday, December 2nd, from 3:00-5:00 PM at Pavilions D1 and D2. It will cost $6.00 per vehicle to get into the park.
