Here's my ol' patrol scatter gun that has rode with me every day since Jan 1st 1996. Out of all these guns, this is the one I wanted the most. So glad they allowed me to purchase it. This gun and I have killed several sick and injured deer and a couple injured bears over the years. I would've paid the State much more than $209 for it. It has also killed about a dozen healthy deer as I used it many times when I was off-duty hunting. For a smooth bore it slings a rifled slug mighty accurately out to about 75 yds or so.

Congratulations. Great milestone achievement. Enjoy Looks like a good run
Enjoy "retirement" congratulations on a long career. Have fun doing what you want now... Take care , be safe. Good on you. You deserve the accolades! Cool they let you buy it for a few dollars. You will pass it down and that’s great. I’m know that scattergun has a lot of stories. It’s a great field and have a lot of memories from mine in the same area of your career. Enjoy your retirement. that's great !!!, i had 35 years with company and got nothing from them , Thanks guys for the kind words and well wishes!

Congratulations, Swampwolf, it is nice that the agency allowed you to purchase your shotgun and awarded you your service handgun and that the sheriff awarded you your rifle. Those shadow boxes are really nice. I hope you enjoy your retirement as much or more than I am enjoying mine. Yes...4 sure! Thanks for your kind words. Hope your retirement continues well!!!

Sounds like your friends, family and co workers put on a heart felt goodbye and thank you for someone they loved and respected. I can bet sometimes in your career it seemed liked a thankless job and other times one that fill your heart with joy. Congratulations on a successful career. I hope the rest of your days you can enjoy doing what you want each and every day.
