Upper Darby Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood Set To Retire After More Than Half-Century In Law Enforcement
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Upper Darby's top cop says he is ready to turn in his badge. Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood has been on the force for 14 years but his career as a law enforcement officer spans more than a half-century.
That includes 19 years for the Philadelphia Police Department, nine of those as a homicide detective.
This past week Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro awarded Superintendent Chitwood with a lifetime service award.
Among countless experiences in his time on the force, Chitwood also had his extraordinary career in law enforcement documented in a book titled "Tough Cop."
