FARMINGTON — Selectmen on Tuesday night recognized Conley Gould for his 22 years as a reserve officer for the Police Department.
Gould recently retired from the position, which was one of his many jobs, Chief of Police Jack Peck told the board.
This is the last reserve officer for the department, which now has all full-time officers, Peck said.
Peck acknowledged Gould’s willingness to cover “last-minute” assignments and do whatever was asked of him, including carpentry projects for the department.
The department and other police officers recently honored him and gave him a shadow box of memorabilia from his years of service. The shadow box was made by University of Maine at Farmington Police Chief Ted Blais.
Gould said he was hired by Farmington police Chief Nolan Wilcox in July 1990. He was serving as a reserve deputy with the Franklin County Sheriff’s Department and Wilcox asked him why he wasn’t working for Farmington.
Gould thanked the board for the opportunity and the honor.
“I may not carry a badge and gun anymore but I will continue to help any way I can as long as I’m able,” Gould told the board.
A paramedic for NorthStar Ambulance, Gould was originally from Phillips but now lives in Chesterville.
