“We want to extend our best wishes to Officer David Roy, who officially retired today from the New Bedford Police Department.
We truly thank you for the 30 plus years of dedicated service you gave to the citizens and city of New Bedford. Officer Roy was passionate about policing and was always ready to help those in need. We wish you all the best in this next chapter in your life, you will be missed.” – New Bedford Police Department.
Officer Roy assisted a woman with dementia with the utmost caring and kindness. This was about 18 months ago in Buttonwood Park. He diffused a potentially catastrophic reaction by his calm, empathetic approach. He knew just what to do and say to her. Thank you for your service.
