The McCandless Town Council recognized Sergeant Christian with a testimonial resolution on June 8 honoring nearly 28 years of service to the McCandless Police Department.
The formal resolution recited the sergeant’s long tenure (service beginning in 1998) and credited him with leadership, commitment to public safety and mentorship of junior officers. The sergeant accepted the recognition and thanked the council and community for their support: “I just want to thank the town ... and the council for you recognizing my 28 years here,” he said, recalling his first interview and describing his time with the department as “a great run.”
A councilor moved to approve the testimonial resolution; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. Council members offered additional praise for the sergeant’s community contributions and mentorship before moving on to other agenda items.
