Chester and the employees of West Chester Township for nearly twenty-one yezu's, and for that I am eternally grateful. I have had the opportunity to lead and work alongside countless individuals of excellence in the police department and the public. So it is with deep sadness that I must tender my resignation and notice of retirement, effective immediately. I believe this is the only option left that protects my fzunily, my health, and my career without compromising my values. It is unfortunate to have been treated this way for taking a plincipled stance and others may fear coming folward in the future as a result. Please let this letter save as my formal retirement from the Department effective immediately. Sineer ely, lamlt. I. lit nsle Captain, est Chester Police Department
