Bidding a fond farewell
Community gathers to honor York, Roach at reception
061710 YORK RECEPTION 01web
The local community comes out to bid farewell to retiring Police Chief Stan York, center, during a reception at the Statesboro Police Headquarters Thursday.
One word kept floating around the room Thursday at a retirement reception for former Statesboro Police chief Stan York and former police lieutenant Frank Roach: “bittersweet.” The reception was for both York and Roach, each whose positions were “eliminated” by the City of Statesboro in what officials call a money-saving move. Six positions, including two Statesboro Fire captain positions, were eliminated.
