Dijkstra said she was sorry to report the retirements of both Anglin and dispatcher Lisa Benner (effective Jan. 31). She then announced the appointment of Josh Hamer to fill the sergeant role vacated by Anglin. JDijkstra said there are two things in Hamer's favor in being successful in his new position.
