Today, we celebrate the end of an era and the beginning of a well-deserved rest for two of our finest.After 52 incredible years of dedicated service, Lt. Melvin Nay is officially hanging up the badge. To put that into perspective, Lt. Nay has been a pillar of safety and integrity in law enforcement since 1973. His impact on each community he served and the officers he has mentored is immeasurable. Joining him in retirement is his faithful partner, K-9 Creed. Together, they’ve kept our streets safe and defined what it means to be a team. Lt. Nay, thank you for your lifetime of sacrifice. Creed, enjoy the extra treats and long naps. Happy retirement to you both!
