At Monday night’s North Judson Town Council meeting, members of the community and the council wished Reserve Officer Scott Beishuizen and his K-9 Gunner farewell.
Town Marshal Kelly Fisher presented the team with a plaque and thanked them both for their service with the department and their commitment to the community. The town council shook hands with Officer Beishuizen and he issued a statement expressing his gratitude.
“I really enjoyed my down time here and I know my dog did. You know, he’s at his age and I’m at my volunteering capacity.” Beishuizen said, “We had a really good run, got a lot of drugs off the street, got a lot of bad guys off the street. I worked with a really good crew of guys and I appreciate it.”
Beishuizen said he will spend his retirement from the force focusing on coaching and playing hockey, which he joked is much safer than being in the line of duty. He also mentioned how he is thankful to Town Marshal Kelly Fisher for letting him know that the door is always open for him to come back.
