Thank you, Officer Ruben Ramirez for everything you did to make the K9 program what it is. You and Pax are both missed. Congratulations on your retirement. 🐾
Happy Retirement... for real this time.
Officer Ramirez, thank you for dedicating 25 years and one month to the City of Centralia. 🚓🐾
From Chief Caldwell, "You are, and always will be, an irreplaceable part of the Centralia Police Department. Your contributions to our K9 program, the Special Olympics, our local sports programs, and countless other activities have truly set you apart as a leader. The impact you have made on this department and throughout our community has left a legacy that cannot be replicated.
When you previously retired as a full-time officer, having you continue with us in the reserve program brought reassurance and pride to both the department and the community. It helped us delay the weight of the loss we would all feel when you fully stepped away. Knowing you are now concluding this chapter does not make the news any easier to take, and your presence in uniform will be greatly missed...
While we are sad to see you leave the department, we wish you nothing but the absolute best in your full retirement and in your exciting new role at PFC. You leave here with your head held high, and you should be incredibly proud of the badge you wore so honorably."
We miss you already.
-All of us at CPD
