CFPD Retirements!

            Two veteran Chippewa Falls Police Officers retired on December 30th, 2009 after serving the city for a combined 60 years! 

            Chief Wayne Nehring started with the Chippewa Falls Police Department in November of 1979 and over a 30 year career served as a Patrolman, Patrol Sergeant, Detective Sergeant, Captain and finally Chief of Police.  Chief Nehring plans on doing some traveling and spending time with family.  He is also planning on teaching at area technical colleges in the near future. 

            Sgt. Gene Neitge was hired as a Chippewa Falls Police Officer in February of 1979.  During his 30 year career he served as a Patrol Officer, an Investigator and Field Supervisor with the West Central Drug Task Force and eventually as a Patrol Sergeant.  Sgt. Neitge also plans on spending some of his time traveling and with family and looks forward to more fishing and hunting in his retirement years.

            Our congratulations go out to these two gentlemen on their retirements, along with our sincere thanks for their outstanding commitment and dedication to the department and the city of Chippewa Falls!
