CONWAY — Three longtime members of the Conway Police Department — Chief Ed Wagner, Cpl. Sean McGrath and dispatcher Jim Mykland — who had a combined 66 years of experience on the force, were given a fitting send-off on Wednesday by their colleagues and members of the Jackson Police Department and the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office.
Following a brief ceremony in the station’s conference room, Mykland, a dispatcher for 19 years; McGrath, who started as a traffic control officer, then worked part-time before becoming a full-time officer for 22 years; and Wagner, who served for 25 years; exited the station.
