I served 1985 to 1993. You served too, before the badge - different uniform, same idea. You go where you are sent and you do not get to pick the call.
Sergeant Fitzpatrick gave The Colony Police Department 34 years.
Thank you for your service to the The Colony community. Thank you for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
