Two long-term employees are scheduled to retire from the Police Department in January and February 2005. The employees have over 60 years of combined law-enforcement experience and have served the City of Tustin in an exemplary manner. They are concluding their careers as lieutenants and have requested to retain the duty weapons they have had issued to them for the past twelve years when they leave. As has been past practice with many retiring officers, the Tustin Police Officers Association has purchased the retiring employee's firearm from the City of Tustin and given it to the individual as a retirement gift. TPOA would like to continue this practice for both individuals currently scheduled to retire. The transfer of ownership for the William A.
