Michael Gates proudly served the City of Cranston as a police officer for 30 years. From his first day on the force in 1991 to his retirement in 2021 as Detective Sergeant, he committed his life to protecting others and leading with integrity.

In early 2021, just before retiring, Michael began to experience symptoms that would later change his life. In January of 2024, at age 61, Michael received the heartbreaking diagnosis of ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis).

Now, it’s our turn to show up for the man who spent three decades showing up for us.
