FINALLY! HARTVILLE'S POLICE CHIEF DRAGOVICH TO RETIRE?

As readers of the SCPR know, yours truly has been urging Hartville Police Chief George Dragovich to retire.

Dragovich has had a long run in Hartville, but the times seem to have passed him by and retirement seems to be a good option.

The chief has been the subject of a number of somewhat controversial incidents in Hartville in recent years and the SCPR believes that is is counterproductive to the interests of Hartville's citizens for him to remain in place.

The Report has learned that Dragovich is telling his Hartville friends that he is retiring before the end of 2009.

The SCPR congratulates him on his apparent decision and wishes him well.
