A Good Boy Heads Into Retirement
ROCK SPRINGS – It’s said that every dog has his day, and for Max, the retiring Rock Springs Police Department Officer, it was Tuesday with the Rock Springs City Council. According to a letter from RSPD Chief of Police Bill Erspamer, one of the reasons for Max’s retirement is that he’s gotten slower and sniffing out drugs has become a strenuous activity for him. The eight-year-old dog appeared to act like a puppy as he saw and greeted new and familiar faces at City Hall. Max momentarily jumped up and sat between Officer Jason Wright and Officer Ken Davis as his handler, Officer Ruslan Kolb, took him toward the Council. Max and Kolb were presented with a shadowbox with Max’s gear, which included his badge, collar, and other items.
