OFF DUTY: Sgt. Jeff Jennings will retire from Big Rapids Department of Public Safety on Jan. 27, after serving the department for 35 years.
Sgt. Jennings is a really cool guy. He once put me in the backseat of a cop car while he instructed a deputy through some kind of high-speed maneuvering test. I got thrown all around in the back of a Charger while the deputy weaved cones in reverse at 45 mph and had a blast. Thanks for that, Jeff. Good luck in retirement.
