Sergeant Galen Terry Retires
“Retirement is everything they said it was,” quipped the most recent retiree from the Boulder City Police Department.

That retiree is Galen Terry, who joined the City of Boulder City’s Police Department in 1990 after relocating to the Las Vegas area. Prior to relocating to Boulder City, he was a police officer in the state of Michigan for nearly 20 years.

Galen was instrumental in shaping much of the department’s community policing beliefs as his commitment to the community was never questioned. His understanding of people and their expectations of the police was his greatest asset.

While working his way through the ranks, Galen had the opportunity to serve in a variety of capacities ranging from police officer, police corporal, D.A.R.E. Officer, Reserve Officer Coordinator, Patrol Sergeant and more recently the Administrative Sergeant.

Galen, a committed police officer, provided the opportunity for growth to many up-and-coming officers. Often recognized for his ability to defuse and communicate with the community and coupled with his vast knowledge of the police profession, he served as a role model for many officers and supervisors alike. His sense of humor and unique ability to bring levity to any situation can only be acquired by seeing what the world has to offer day in and day out.

Galen and his lovely wife Sherree have paid their dues and earned their new rank of Retiree. From all of us in Boulder City we wish you both the best.
