Corporal Ruttenberg is set to retire after 24 years of dedicated service with the Essex Police Department (EPD). For the past four years, he has served as an EWSD Liaison Officer, a role in which his work has inspired other school districts to replicate the successful partnership between EWSD and the Essex Police Department.
EWSD and EPD have reimagined how policing and school districts can collaborate to serve students and the community better. Cpl Ruttenberg has worked in all 10 schools in the District, forging strong bonds with families. The EWSD is deeply grateful for his partnership and service.
