Retiring cop radios in for the last time
    2018-08-09  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

A HEARTWARMING moment a retiring Massachusetts police officer makes his final radio call recently and hears an unexpected voice on the other end was caught on a video.

Nate Ledoux flew all the way across the United States to surprise his father Officer Duane Ledoux on his final day with the Southbridge Police Department.

The adorable video shows Duane overcome with emotion when he makes his final radio call June 25 and the call is answered by his son.

“It is my sincere pleasure to announce that on this day, after 32.5 years of service, my father, Southbridge Police Officer Duane Ledoux, is retiring and has given his final code five,” Nate Ledoux says.

Nate continues, “It is my honor to acknowledge this code five, to set free a man who has sacrificed so much of his time for all of us, so that he may spend the rest of his life discovering new craft beer, exploring this beautiful country, and most importantly, chasing glory.

“Dad, you are officially code five.”

Fighting back tears, Duane radios back, “Love you.” The father shakes his head in disbelief, tapping the radio to his forehead.

“He did come home. He came home. I called that,” he says laughing.

In a second video on Facebook Live, Nate can be seen smiling as he sends his dad off.

Southbridge Police Chief Shane Woodson also thanked Ledoux for his more than three decades of service.

Duane choked up as he thanked the department and his family, including Nate’s brother Nick, who died years ago in a car accident. (SD-Agencies)
