Officer Kevin Woods Retirement
Chairman Plante stated that this is a loss for the Town of Millbury but we wanted to honor Officer Woods’s years of service and his great career with the Town. The Board gave him a clock and a Retirement Badge.
Chief Richard Handfield offered that Kevin was involved in law enforcement since he was 18 years of age, began on the Millbury Department in 1977, and was involved in the dive team, the K-9 officer with Otto and the domestic violence specialist obtaining several grants. It is bittersweet for the Department losing such a dedicated officer. Chief offered him some dog tags and offered him congratulations.
Kevin Woods wanted to thank the Board, his fellow officers and the many citizens that wished him well. His intention was to help as many people in town that he could. It has been an honor and a privilege to serve the town. He hopes he will continue to serve the town in other capacities as they love Millbury.
