He will be missed!
New Jersey's most famous dancing cop is just about to have his last waltz.
Officer Butch Larkin was honored on Friday by the South Orange Police Department as he gets ready to step into retirement.
He's been directing traffic with some twists and spins for nearly 30 years and has been on the force for 58 years.
