Wauwatosa says goodbye to retiring officer Tracy Burbach at Longfellow Middle School

WAUWATOSA (CBS 58) -- Students and staff couldn't let officer Tracy Burbach retire without a big surprise sendoff.

Burbach has been on the force for more than 30 years and has spent more than a decade as a school resource officer, primarily at Longfellow Middle School.

"I am completely overwhelmed. I had a suspicion that something was going on because kids can't keep secrets but all the feels right now. All the love, I feel it," said Burbach.

Burbach tells us she's dedicated her life to serving others, but now she's going to do something for herself - she'll take a vacation.
