Although I have never worked with Ptlm. Reeves I feel as though his legacy has been embedded into the very fabric of the Millville Police Department. It has become a part of the pride you carry being a Millville officer. Knowing that someone sacrificed everything they had for the greater good of their community is truly admirable.
