I had the opportunity to serve with Wayne while he was a Sentry Dog handler with the USAF at Loring AFB, Maine. I remember him as a great individual then and I am sure he was an excellent police officer. God Bless him for his service to his Country, his State and to the St. Louis County Police Department, this country needs more individuals the calibre of Wayne McClelland.
