Winters

You were a great Dep Chief and I thank you for your dedication to the APD. It's sad to see you leave, but I understand. I wish you the best of luck with all of your future endeavours.

I honestly did not expect you to step down. We've got some good memories and I look forward to seeing you around still. I wish you the best of luck in life with all of your future endeavors. o7

I never planned on making a post as there is a myriad of things that could be said. I’ll keep it short though. As most of you will now know I have retired as the APD Chief of Police. It has certainly been an enjoyable and interesting journey in which I have experienced and learned a lot about the APD. I’d like to thank the APD for their dedication and support to the faction over the years enabling us to strive in taking the APD in the right direction. I feel the APD is in an excellent position currently and I have the full confidence in the new APD Chief of Police Rexo further strengthening that position with the support of the APD. Thank you all for the memories.

There is a myriad of positive things I could say about you, but I will keep it short and sweet. It was a pleasure working with you as you were a great member of SAPD, a great staff member, and a great member of the community who dedicated himself for the right reasons across the board. I thank you for your dedication. It is sad to see you officially leave now with a post, albeit one of the most truthful I've seen in some time. I wish you the best of luck in life with all of your future endeavors. As always Olympus will always be here so don't be a stranger. o7
