Sheriff Mike Balmer says farewell at party
Sheriff Mike Balmer was greeted by citizens of Jasper County and fellow police officers Friday afternoon during a retirement party in his honor.
Both Jasper County Sheriff’s Office deputies and Newton Police Department officers were in attendance. Guests were treated to free cake and beverages and had an opportunity to talk to Balmer. A photobook highlighted moments of his 38 years of public service.
“I haven’t thought about it,” Balmer said about life after retirement. “(I will) still stay active in public.”
