Officer Roy Gutzman named officer of the year 2019Officer beat cancer, named Burnsville’s top cop of 2019 - December 27, 2019 Sun/Thisweek News


Officer Roy Gutzman has been named the Burnsville Police Deparrtment’s 2019 Officer of the Year. Gutzman has been with the department for 14 years, the last four as a resource officer at Burnsville High School.

“When a police officer receives his or her badge, they take an oath to serve, and to never betray their integrity, their character or the public trust,” said Police Chief Tanya Schwartz. “Officer Roy Gutzman exemplifies this commitment by building trust with our community, treating people with dignity and respect, listening to what people have to say, and making fair decisions.”

Throughout his career in Burnsville Gutzman has been known for his teamwork and positive attitude.

His work as a school resource officer has been praised by school administrators. Gutzman continued to do his job while fighting cancer.

“Officer Gutzman was diagnosed with cancer in December 2018, and has been a champion survivor since his diagnosis,” said Sgt. Dan Anderson, Gutzman’s supervisor. “He has never complained and continued to do his job at 110 percent. He leads by example and sets the tone on every shift he is present. He is someone the younger officers look up to.”

Through several surgeries and treatments, Gutzman continued his work at the school — building lasting relationships with students and staff — and took calls, helped with investigations and did licensing and administrative work while on light duty.

“While facing life-threatening personal challenges, he remained loyal to his commitment, and demonstrated his incredible character with courage, grit and resiliency,” Schwartz said.

Gutzman concluded his surgeries and treatments in November.

Chief Eric GiesekeEric Gieseke will lead Burnsville Police Department
Published November 8, 2012 at 1:42 pm
As a fresh-faced Burnsville police cadet from 1989 to 1991, Eric Gieseke did whatever was asked of him, from working the front desk to dressing up as McGruff the Crime Dog.
“It was a great experience being a police cadet. Now they’re called community service officers,” Gieseke said. “It was a great opportunity to learn about the organization from the bottom up.”
He learned well. Gieseke, now one of the Police Department’s two captains, will succeed Bob Hawkins as Burnsville’s sixth chief of police. Hawkins is retiring on Nov. 30.
Gieseke, 46, was one of two likely candidates to follow Hawkins, who announced his retirement earlier this year. Gieseke’s fellow captain for several years, Eric Wemer, was hired in August as Rosemount’s police chief.
Burnsville got 15 to 20 applications for the chiefsjob, “literally from coast to coast,” said City Manager Craig Ebeling, who made the final selection. “Eric (Gieseke) was a very formidable candidate and was able to prevail.”

Capt. Werner’s replacement is Tanya Schwartz, who was promoted from sergeant in September. Burnsville’s first female police captain, she started as a community service officer in 1995
