Congrats, Eddie! 🐾

[AMHERST POLICE, NY] – The Amherst Police Department recognizes the retirement of Animal Control Officer Edward T. McGrew, Jr., who retired on September 18, 2026, after an extraordinary career serving the Town of Amherst.

ACO McGrew dedicated half a century of service to the community, beginning his full-time career on June 9, 1975, and continuing as a part-time officer from July 8, 2013, until his retirement. Throughout his tenure, he demonstrated an unwavering commitment to high standards of excellence and professionalism.

In addition to his remarkable career with the department, ACO McGrew is a dedicated member of the East Amherst Fire Department and a long-time proud supporter of the Amherst Police Club. We thank Ed for his incredible legacy of loyal service to the Amherst Police Department and the Town of Amherst, and we wish him all the best in his well-deserved retirement.

On September 18th, 2026, just after 7 pm, Dispatcher Matt Avery took a call from a patient who was having chest, jaw and back pain. He was in his vehicle driving to a hospital for care. Matt instructed him to pull over and assured him he would send first responders to him. The caller, Gene, pulled over and waited for help. Matt stayed on the phone with Gene while the Newstead Fire Company and a Twin City Ambulance were dispatched. Crews arrived within minutes. Gene’s vitals were showing the signs and symptoms of a heart attack. Twin City transported Gene to Buffalo General Hospital. He was taken back right away for further care. Gene faced medical intervention and a hospital stay but has since been discharged. Gene was able to call the Alarm Office and thanked Matt on the phone.

Tonight, Gene came up to the Alarm Office with dinner and to meet Matt.

We rarely hear outcomes of the incidents we handle but being able to meet the patients we care for is extraordinary!

Not just for Matt and Gene but for all of us!
