A commander with 31 years of service on a DV. That really sucks.

ETA:

During his career, he held positions throughout the department, including the special assignments unit and K9 unit. He chose to work out in the field and help his fellow officers, working nights and weekend to oversee patrol operations.

Months away from retiring.

Suspect was shot and killed.
