Wesley Malcolm Blanchard

My sincere condolences to the entire extended Blanchard family. Chief Doc Blanchard was an inspiration to a young man searching for his calling. I watched him prosecute with my childhood friend, Mark. I watched him lead as I followed him in the news as well. I have very fond memories of the Blanchard family and "Doc" (Well- Mr. Blanchard or Chief Blanchard to me). He was a wonderful person.

I worked with "Doc" Blanchard in the Patrol division of WPD, and when he was in charge of the Prosecution division I was one of the officers assigned to the warrant pickup squad. I am very sorry to hear of his passing.
