Saying goodbye

Sarnia Police Chief Phil Nelson, front row in white shirt, and Deputy Chief Bob Farlow, to his left, pose with some of the service’s 170 officers and civilians on the steps of the Sarnia Police Station last week. It was the second last day on the job for the two officers, who are both retiring. Standing to Nelson’s right is the new chief, Inspector Norm Hansen, and to Farlow’s left is Inspector Owen Lockhart, the new deputy chief.
