Today, we recognize and celebrate the retirement of Officer Al Roland after an outstanding 25-year career in law enforcement, including the last 21 years serving the Medina Police Department.
For the past 13 years, Officer Roland has served as a School Resource Officer at our middle schools, where he became much more than a police officer. He was a mentor, role model, problem-solver, and trusted friend to countless students, staff, and families. His positive impact on our schools and community will be felt for years to come.
Throughout his career, Officer Roland has demonstrated professionalism, dedication, and a genuine commitment to serving others. Whether working patrol or building relationships with students, he represented the Medina Police Department with integrity and compassion.
Please join us in thanking Officer Roland for his years of service and wishing him a happy, healthy, and well-deserved retirement.
Congratulations, Al, and thank you for everything you have done for our department, our schools, and our community. We wish you all the best in this next chapter!
