Our police department got a new police chief last night. After over 20 years of faithful dedication and service, Chief Jerry D. Whitman retired late last month. At the City Council meeting last night, Captain Virgil Blasdel was sworn in as the new Chief of Police for the City. I wanted to take a moment to congratulate him.
I also wanted to take a moment to recognize the efforts of the police, fire, and EMS departments of our City. These are dedicated individuals who serve the greater interests of the community at large in an effort to provide a safe and healthy community. These are the people who respond when you dial 911. These are the people who risk their lives reporting to traffic accidents, house fires, and broken arms. Their professionalism and dedication are commendable and should be a source of pride for our community.
As one who lives here, I would like to commend them and express gratitude for their efforts and sacrifice. Keep up the great work!
