Congratulations to Deputy Chief John Manera on his well-deserved retirement!

After an extraordinary 47 years of dedicated service, Chief John Manera officially retired this past Friday.

That’s nearly five decades of commitment, leadership, and sacrifice in service to the community.

Well done, Chief Manera. Your service, integrity, and contributions have left a lasting mark. May your retirement be filled with rest, relaxation, new adventures, hobbies you’ve been waiting to pursue, and plenty of time with family and friends.

You’ve earned every bit of it.

Enjoy this next chapter — you’ve more than earned the title of “Chief” in the hearts of those who served with you.
