A Massachusetts police officer who is one of the heroes who stepped up during the manhunt for the Boston Marathon bombers has officially called it a career.Watertown police Sgt. Jeffrey Pugliese, a third-generation police officer, had his final roll call on Memorial Day after spending 41 years and 5 months working a job he wanted since he was 15 years old."The best part of being a police officer is getting out there and helping people, saving lives," Pugliese said. "It’s because of all these police officers – not just in Watertown, but everywhere in the world – people sleep soundly in their beds at night because there are police officers willing to sacrifice their lives for them."Pugliese is best known for taking on the two terrorists behind the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing while he was off duty. He took part in the firefight between law enforcement and the Tsarnaev brothers, Dzhokhar and Tamerlan. Pugliese ended up tackling Tamerlan Tsarnaev after the bomber ran out of ammunition and threw his empty pistol at Pugliese."He received a Congressional Badge of Bravery for his heroic work during the Marathon bombing," said Watertown police Chief Michael Lawn. "He also received the Trooper George Hanna Medal of Honor, which is the highest honor you can receive in Massachusetts in the police field."Pugliese was among those portrayed in the 2016 film "Patriots Day" and was portrayed in the movie by Oscar-winning actor J.K. Simmons, who ended up being a part of Pugliese's retirement video."I'm the only guy in Hollywood good-looking enough to portray you on screen," Simmons said in the video. "Thank you for teaching me how to shoot a gun and teaching me all kinds of things about the ropes of police work."Most of Pugliese's family and friends stopped by the Watertown Police Department to wish him a happy retirement.Pugliese says he would love to serve on the Watertown Police Department for another decade, but the mandatory retirement age for police officers in Massachusetts is 65 years old.
