A lifelong career of service to others and to a community is something to be proud of. Detective Sergeant Daryl Martin has been a part of the Youngstown Police for 35 years, and has dedicated his life to a service of excellence. And that is something that deserves to be celebrated! It was an honor to take these portraits for him, I loved this opportunity to capture something a little out of the ordinary for me. Seeing the honors decorating Daryl’s uniform, and the worn edges of his hat, and the pride in his eyes – it made me feel very thankful for all the men and women who selflessly give themselves to their communities. Congratulations on your upcoming retirement Daryl!
I am Daryl’s secretary. I will start my 18th. Year in March. Daryl is one of the best officers I have known. He gives 100% every day. He helps everyone. He is kind, wise, and a consummate professional. Men like Detective Martin do not come along everyday. I will miss you very much.
