Sgt. Patterson, You will be missed by not only fellow officers and staff of MHPD but also the community. Thanks for 33 years of great service to this community. The MHPD should be sorry to see such a great asset leaving at such a needed time.

Jim,

It is hard to believe it has been 33 years since we chose you over an experienced applicant. The choice obviously was a very good one. Enjoy your retirement, you have earned it.

Dennis Nye

Your boss 33 years ago.
