Dutch served honorably with the Phoenix Police Department and retired as a Detective. Hired on at ASU PD afterwards. Dutch was a smart, experienced officer who was a great asset to every unit he worked in... a "real good hand" as we say in the West. I worked with Dutch when he was assigned to the Arizona Vehicle Theft Task Force. Rest easy Dutch. You are not forgotten.
