Detective Mike McCaffrey received a watch and a retirement badge for his 25 years of service.
Lawrence policeman retires after 25 years
By Curtis Knapp
Kansan staff writer
After 25 years at the Lawrence police department, Mike McCaffrey's favorite part about law enforcement is that he is getting out of it.
Detective McCaffrey, 51, retired Friday
"I think 25 years is enough, and it forsam sure a young person's game," he said. "You really get tired. Just too much violence and too much negativeness and too much sadness."
McCaffrey will take a month or two vacation and then seek another career in Lawrence. He said he would not get into any more law enforcement but was not sure what he would pursue.
During his years at the Lawrence police department, McCaffrey has seen some changes. He said there were about 26 uniformed officers when he started. Now there are about 75. When he started there were only two college graduates at the police department. Now the majority of officers have college degrees.
James Haller, Lawrence police detective, said he had known McCaffrey for 35 years and had seen him with him almost the entire time.
"It will take some work for someone to fill that space," Haller said. "You just don't fill that immediately."
"He has been a real hard worker, very conscientious and a real pleasure to work with."
McCaffrey spent one semester at the University of Kansas before dropping out.
McCaffrey did not stay in college because he was not sure what he wanted to do with his life. After dropping out, he volunteered for the draft in 1961. He was a military officer during World War II in 1963. He completed his service six months before his unit was sent to Vietnam.
"When I was about 18 to 20 years old, I always assumed I'd end up
either a policeman, a priest or an actor," McCaffrey said. "Those were three things that interested me."
He said he chose to be a police man because of his military training
"When I came back here, it seemed kind of like the logical thing to do," he said.
McCaffrey said he stood outside Meredith's door with a steel helmet, a loaded rifle and 45-calibert automatic pistol to ensure Meredith's safety. He was unaware that seven years later he would encounter a similar situation.
In 1970, he stood inside Strong Hall in a Lawrence police uniform with a plastic helmet and a loaded 38-caliber pistol. He was there to provide security in the wake of student racial riots and demonstrations against the Vietnam War.
