The Guilderland Police Department is congratulating Captain Eric Batchelder on his retirement after 26 years of service to the Town of Guilderland.

They held a walk-out ceremony for Captain Batchelder on Friday, with family, friends, and many community members gathered alongside him for the special occasion.

The department says they will miss Batchelder’s leadership, wisdom, and laughs, and they want to extend their gratitude towards the Captain’s time and effort towards the department and the Town.
