COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – Two veteran Branch County Sheriff Department sergeants are getting ready to retire.
Sheriff John Pollock told the Branch County Board of Commissioners during their work session on Thursday that Sergeants Frank Barker and Mike Gatke will soon be leaving the department.
That means the department will have to fill two vacancies.
Meanwhile, two deputies have been promoted to Road Sergeant and will assume their new duties over the next several weeks.
Deputy Roy Shutts will replace Barker on February 1. Deputy Scott Jaye has been promoted to replace Gatke on March 1.
Shutts and Jaye are undergoing training for their new duties at this time.
