Yesterday, we said "see you later" to one of the very best as we congratulated Chrissy Smith on her retirement after an incredible 28 years of dedicated service to the Rolla Police Department.

Chrissy began her career with the department in 1998 as a telecommunicator after serving with the Dent County Sheriff’s Department. Over the next nearly three decades, she became a cornerstone of this organization, serving in Communications, Patrol, and Operations while earning the respect of everyone fortunate enough to work alongside her.

Throughout her career, Chrissy held numerous roles including Communications Supervisor, Patrol Corporal, Senior Telecommunicator, Operations Assistant, and Reserve Sergeant. No matter the assignment, she brought professionalism, leadership, compassion, and an unmatched work ethic to the job every single day.

Chrissy’s impact went far beyond her titles. She was someone people trusted. Officers sought her guidance, coworkers leaned on her support, and countless young people benefited from her mentorship through the Junior Cadet Program. She was the type of employee every department hopes to have — dependable, humble, hardworking, and always willing to help wherever needed.

Her decorated career included numerous awards and commendations, including the Judge Mayberry Award, Meritorious Award, Grand Cordon Awards, Exceptional Duty Awards, and recognition from both our department and outside agencies, including the U.S. Marshals Service.

While retirement is well deserved, there is no question that Chrissy leaves behind very large shoes to fill. Losing someone with her experience, leadership, and heart is difficult, and it simply will not be the same without her around.

Chrissy, thank you for your years of service, your loyalty to this department, and the lasting impact you have made on this community and everyone who had the privilege to work beside you. We are proud to celebrate your remarkable career and wish you nothing but happiness, relaxation, and success in this next chapter of life.

Congratulations on your retirement — you truly earned it.
