Longtime Berlin Police Officer Retires

BERLIN, CT — The Berlin Police Department announced Friday that one of its longtime public servants is retiring.

According to the BPD, Michael Manning began his BPD career on July 1, 1987 and he went on to spend the next three and a half decades plus in Berlin.

During that time, he has moved up the police ladder, serving as a detective, field training office and, even, as the BPD Honor Guard.

The department posted a photo of Manning's 2005 induction into the Honor Guard and said he was the last of that group to retire.

'We wish Ofc. Manning the best in his retirement from active law enforcement and thank him for his many years of service to the Berlin Police Department and the Town of Berlin," wrote the BPD.
