He spent much of his career in an administrative capacity as the staff services officer responsible for the department’s communication and computer systems. His folder includes numerous letters of appreciation, three letters of commendation and four excellent duty citations.

Beginning as a dispatcher Aug. 20, 1974, Burgwald was promoted to patrolman the following year and sergeant March 1, 1994. His 33-year career ended Aug. 22. His file includes numerous letters of appreciation, one letter of commendation and two excellent duty citations. His post will be filled by the newly promoted Sgt. Mike Johnson, who began his duties with the department in 1992.
