Retired Officers 80th Annual Banquet

Retired Officers 80th Annual Banquet

September 14th saw our 80th Annual Retired Officers Banquet. But for the pandemic it would have been the 81st.

We had over 400 people in attendance including City Council members and the Chief of Police.

The event was produced by Rich and Kevin O’Neill with the support of Stephanie Coleman, Terri MacMillian and a host of others. It was a great success and everyone had an outstanding time.

Follow this article for updates as we will soon be posting more photos and a more proper recognition of all those who worked so hard to make this event a great success.
