A Fond Farewell to Chief Glen Trainor! 🚔🎉
This week, we celebrated the illustrious career of Chief Glen Trainor as he embarks on a well-deserved retirement after nearly half a century in law enforcement, including 21 years leading the Fraser Winter Park Police Department. 🚓

In true community spirit, Chief Trainor was given a grand send-off with a heartfelt drive through the county, cheered on by first responders and friends. The celebration continued with a party where stories flowed, laughter echoed, and the sentiment was unanimous: no one deserves this retirement more than Chief Trainor. 🎈

Trading in his uniform for a Hawaiian shirt and fishing waders, Glen is ready to dive into retirement with enthusiasm, looking forward to spending cherished time with his grandkids, family, and favorite fishing spots. 🐟

Thank you, Chief Trainor, for your unwavering dedication and for making Fraser and Winter Park safer and better places to live. Your legacy will continue to shine brightly in our community. Enjoy every moment of your well-earned retirement! 🌟
