๐๐ฎโโ๏ธ End of Watch โ With Honor ๐ฎโโ๏ธ๐

๐
โจ My name is Maritza, and today I close a chapter written over 37 years of service โ with a full heart, deep gratitude, and undeniable pride.
This badge was never just metal. It was a promise. A calling. Countless long nights, difficult choices, and moments that demanded courage, compassion, and strength โค๏ธ.
๐ฎโโ๏ธ Along the way, I witnessed humanity at its best and its hardest. Each experience shaped me, humbled me, and reminded me why service matters.

๐๏ธ Iโm grateful to the community who placed their trust in me, and to my fellow officers who became more than coworkers โ they became family ๐ค.
๐ And to my loved ones, who stood beside every sacrifice, every missed holiday, every worry โ your support carried me through it all.
๐ Now, I turn the page with peace and hope, proud of the path behind me and ready for whatโs ahead.
๐ It has been my greatest honor to serve.
