Nine employees of the Wilmington Police Department were honored at their retirement ceremony Tuesday.
Between them, they have almost 200 years of service with the department.
Those saying goodbye include members of the police force as well as other employees of the department. Each retiree was presented with parting gifts and Chief Ralph Evangelous and some of their friends shared funny stories and kind words about them.
For many, retirement is a bittersweet experience. “I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. All the men and women of the police department working at the police department have been absolutely phenomenal to work with,” said Capt. Bruce Hickman.
“Law enforcement is a huge family, lots of brothers and sisters and there’s captains here that I worked for 25 and 30 years ago, so it’s great,” added Sgt. Melissa Perkins.
Of the nine retirees, Sergeant Melissa Perkins has been with the department the longest at 30 years. She was the second female to ever be promoted to a sergeant at WPD.

There are new taxes for those who live in North Carolina and are Amazon.com users.
North Carolina state legislature enacted a new tax last week that affects people who buy and sell on Amazon.com.
Users are subjected to the sales tax when they purchase items from Amazon.
It also affects businesses who use the website to sell their own materials or services. One local woman who uses the site to sell her online art classes received a letter from Amazon stating the new law.
In response, she wrote a letter to the state’s senators describing how the tax will dramatically affect her business.
Other local online businesses who are Amazon associates should expect to receive the same letter.
