Today we celebrated Part-Time Patrolman Marty Cotterman and his incredible 46-year career in law enforcement.
Marty began serving the Monticello community in 1994, and for more than three decades, he has been a familiar and trusted face within our department and community. Over the years, Marty has covered countless shifts, worked numerous festivals and community events, and always been willing to step up and help whenever he was needed.
His 46 years of service represent an incredible commitment to law enforcement and to the communities he has served. His experience, dedication, and willingness to lend a hand have been greatly appreciated by the Monticello Police Department.
Marty, thank you for your many years of service, your dedication to the badge, and all the time you’ve given to keeping our community safe. You have certainly earned this next chapter!
