 After a 25-year career in law enforcement, one man is finally hanging up his badge. Bemidji Police Department Captain James Marcott is retiring. The retirement party was held today at the police station to recognize his achievements. Marcott has been with the Bemidji PD for 15 years and spent the last five as captain. I've served my community for 29 years here in the US Marine Corps or with another local police agency and 25 years in law enforcement. It's time for me to move on and pass the reins to the next generation. Marcott says he'll most miss the people and the sense of family as part of the force, but he does plan to stay in Bemidji.
