Walkerton County Police Department
Walkerton, Wisconsin
Dear Walkerton County Police Department,
I regret to inform you that I will resign as th chief of police effective February 27, 2021.
It has been a privilege to serve with you and all the other officers in this department, but my family’s needs make it necessary to move out of the county. As you know, my son requires intensive medical care unavailable in this area. I feel very fortunate to have worked with such a dedicated team of officers, and this experience has given me skills and knowledge that will prove valuable throughout my career.
If there is any way I can make this transition more efficient, please let me know. I am ready to provide training to the chief of police who will take over my current responsibilities. Thank you again, and I wish you and all the Walkerton County officers the best.
Sincerely,
Duncan Torres

Dear Bloomingdale Police Department,
Please accept this notice of my resignation from the position of captain at the Bloomingdale Police Department. My last day with the department will be February 10, 2022.
While I value my time with this department, I am stepping down to pursue a career in corporate security. I believe this career change will better suit my skills and allow me to spend more time with my spouse and children. The support that I have received from you and every other department member was outstanding, and I regret that I will no longer be working with this talented and dedicated group of professionals.
If I can help train Lieutenant Flores to take over my responsibilities, I am more than willing to do so. If possible, it would be beneficial to receive a reference from you, as I’m sure it would be valuable to future employers. Thank you again; I wish you all the BPD staff the best.
Sincerely,
Janet Shostakovitch”
