It is a loss to the citizens and La Crosse County Law Enforcement for Al Blencoe to leave his current post. I have known Al for my 26 years with the La Crosse Police Department. He has been a consummate professional, and has personally contributed to the high standards and excellent services provided by the dispatch center we have come to expect.
Al has always taken on the tough challenges of the day, and I can't remember a time when he has ever said no to any request.
I believe his positive attitude, combined with strong work ethic and vast knowledge of dispatching, communication technology, and his commitment to serve others make Al Blencoe an exceptional person and the dedicated public servant who will be greatly missed.
