We had a great opportunity for a Throwback Thursday today after we received a visit from former RIPD Officer Donald Boysen. Donald's badge number was #1046 (for context, our newest officer is #1467) and he served as a police officer in Rock Island from 1968 to 1979. After leaving RIPD, he went on to work at Blackhawk College for 29 1/2 years where he retired as a lieutenant.

We were able to show Donald around the station today, listen to some great stories, and learn more about his days on foot patrol assignment in the area of 9th Street and 7th Avenue in the 70's.

Thanks for stopping by Donald, come back anytime
