SM调教所PD officers

SM调教所 Buffs often describe themselves as family, but in this case, two members of the SM调教所 Boulder Police Department (SM调教所PD) sworn to serve and protect really are family.

Officer Cathy Chestnut and her son, Officer Matt Dillon, were sworn in together in October. Their shared passion for public service led them both to SM调教所PD, where Chestnut was already serving as a police dispatcher when the pull to go back on the beat became too strong to ignore.

At the same time, Dillon was graduating from the police academy. His decision to become a police officer was influenced by his five years of service in the United States Marine Corps. Applying his service mindset closer to home meant mother and son鈥檚 paths converged.

鈥淚 am incredibly proud of Matt,鈥 said Chestnut. 鈥淚 am excited to be serving with him and looking forward to sharing my knowledge of the job to help him grow and learn.鈥

鈥淚t鈥檚 a privilege to be able to work here,鈥 said Dillon. 鈥淭he ability to serve this campus feels like protecting the future.鈥澛
