Brian Thurston’s retirement plans are a far cry from this 15-year career in law enforcement with the Fort Scott Police Department.

Thurston, 50, retired from active duty in November, and a retirement reception was held Nov. 29. Thurston, a Fort Scott native who began his career as a patrol officer in 2007, worked his way up through the ranks to his most recent title, detective sergeant.
