For most of his adult life Jim McCormack awoke in the morning, showered, shaved, put on a police uniform and strapped on a gun.
That routine ended Oct. 28 of last year. McCormack — “Jimmer” to almost everyone who knows him — retired after 37 years in law enforcement, including the past 31 years with the New York State Police.
Just three days later he began a new chapter in his life and career: vice president of security at del Lago Resort & Casino.
