30 years in patrol came into merger from JCPD. Lateralled in 1989 to JCPD. No rank. I am retiring because my pension has caught up with my pay. Would I stay 30 if I had to do it over. NOT THE WAY THINGS ARE GOING NOW. They say you know when to retire and it's that time. I have made a lot friends and consider the officers on LMPD part of my family. Stay safe and take care of each other because your all you have. Richard Evans 6th Division daywork, Retiring effective 10-31-2012.
