Congrats, Spud! We will miss your sweet voice telling our crews that it’s time to work!!

🎧 End of an Era… and the Start of a New Chapter 🚔

Today is Justin’s last day with the Salem Police Department—and while we’re not saying goodbye, we are sending him on to his next adventure as the Marion County Coordinator!

Justin began his career with SPD on June 27, 2000, and was promoted to Supervisor on October 1, 2015. As of April 24, 2026, he officially closes this chapter and starts a new one.

Justin has witnessed and led decades of change in Telecommunications. From when most 911 calls came from landlines… to today’s wireless world. From a DOS-based CAD system (no mouse!) to multiple generations of LEADS, radios, and phones he’s done it all.

💻 That command line speed? Built from the HTE days.☎️ No wireless headsets back then—storms meant unplugging and grabbing the handset!

He even completed EMD training before it was required, and then helped guide the transition when it became part of everyday operations.

And for those who have been around awhile you might remember Justin as “Junior.” He earned that nickname because he was one of the youngest when he started… safe to say, we can officially retire that title now. 😉

Through every shift, Justin has been a steady voice, a leader, and someone our team could always count on.

While we’ll miss him here at Salem Police Department, we know he’s going to do incredible things as Marion County Coordinator.

Congratulations, Justin we’re proud of you!
