The badge of former Geneva Police Officer Timothy Peters will never be worn again. Geneva City Council this week voted unanimously to remove Officer Peters’ Badge #839 from departmental circulation.

Officer Peters succumbed to his short but hard-fought battle with cancer on July 4, 2022.

Tim was an amazing person, father, son, grandfather, and police officer. If given the time, Tim would have fought even harder to beat the cancer that took him from us. He will forever remain in our hearts and Geneva Police Officer badge #839 will forever belong to him.” [/srr_pullquote]
