An abundance of opportunity and an interest in connecting with the community he served have been the hallmarks of his career, and after 24 years in law enforcement, Midland Police Chief Gerald Ladwig is retiring. Ladwig spent 23 of those years with the Midland Police, beginning as a road patrol officer in 1988 after spending one year with the Jackson Police Department. In his first local role, Ladwig participated in neighborhood policing. "The neighborhood policing was just phenomenal," he said. "Really, it changed the way I looked at law enforcement as a career." It meant he was out of a patrol car, walking or biking, and talking with residents, connecting with different segments of the community, from the Waldo senior diners -- who threw a baby shower when his oldest daughter was born -- to those who live at Science City and around Longview Elementary.
