Gig Harbor Police Lt. Bill Colberg Hangs Up Badge After 41 Years In Law Enforcement

Last week, one of Gig Harbor's longest-serving protectors called it a career.

Lt. Bill Colberg, who spent 41 years in law enforcement, officially retired amidst a flood of congratulations from colleagues, friends and residents.

It's hard to argue Colberg deserved anything less. Of his years serving and protecting, 31 of them were on the streets and roads of Gig Harbor.

He was recognized at the Gig Harbor City Council on March 11. The department wished him a fond farewell on its Facebook page. Let's do the same in the comments below.

Congratulations, Lt. Colberg. Enjoy your retirement. You deserve it.
