He was hand picked to serve the office, something Rubert finds humbling. But Chief Robert Ferris believes it is perfect for the veteran detective, which is why he hates to see Rubert go.
“I (wish) somebody could convince him not to retire,” joked Ferris, who faces Rubert’s departure on Feb. 1.
County Public Information Officer Donna Weaver will miss Rubert’s positive, humble outlook on life.
“To meet Miguel and see (the other officers) out in the community constantly, at events, at soup kitchens … it is just so inspiring to me,” she said. “I’m going to miss (him) so much.”
“Sgt. Rubert is a true community hero,” prosecutor Grace MacAulay noted. “He is a man of great empathy and understanding. Every day, he makes a difference in the lives of others. His impact on our community is immeasurable.”
