July 25, 2020 by SouthEtobicokeNews

One of the longest-serving Station Duty Operator for Toronto Police has answered her last call after 37-years of service on the force.

Dianne Samler was given a great send off last week by friends and colleagues of 22 Division, where she has worked for many years.

“It is a well-deserved retirement,” one senior officer said. “On behalf of the Command, all sworn and civilian officers at the 22 Division, Toronto Police Service, thank you for your service. “

Many officers and civilian employees were sad but happy at the same time to see her go.

“Wishing you the best retirement ever!” another officer said. “Enjoy the new chapter of your life and enjoy being your own boss.”

“Thank you for your work and dedication to keep our families safe! God Bless you,” co-worker Sandy Savo wrote on social media.

Lynn Gardner Perani thanked Dianner for a job well done.

“Time for you to relax a bit and enjoy your retirement,” Perani wished. “Best wishes for a happy future coming your way.”

“Happy retirement Dianne,” echoed Christine Page. “Thank you so much for being so devoted to serve the community with integrity.”

“Congratulations partner,” wrote Stephanie Lariviere. “I will miss “everything” about the times we shared. See you soon.”

Sylive Guay said Dianne was a very hard and dedicated worker.

“Indeed one of the hardest working SDOs I have ever known,” Guay wrote. “You’ll love it and you will be missed.”

Elaine Jacqueline Tweedie touted that Dianne now belongs to the best club ever.

“It has been the greatest pleasure knowing you,” Nicole and Michael wrote. “So much love for you.”

Happy Retirement Dianne!
