The Town of Hunter Board held a moment of silence for longtime Hunter Police Department member Officer Michael Overbaugh during its Feb. 25 meeting and voted to retire Town of Hunter shield #105 in his memory.
Deputy Town Supervisor Dolph Semenza made the motion to retire the shield; the motion passed (Ayes 3, Noes 0, Absent 2 — Supervisor Sean Mahoney and Councilman David Kukle). Sgt. Robert Haines of the Hunter Police Department told the board that department members "spent all day at Michael’s funeral" and that "they did a very nice job, and he is proud of all of them." The board did not record further action beyond the ceremonial retirement.
The board’s acknowledgement was placed on the record during the regular meeting; no ordinance or binding policy change was reported. The minutes list Overbaugh as a 35-year member of the Hunter Police Department.
