Lt. Charles (Chip) Bazzy retired from the Van Buren Township Police Department on Feb. 16 after 34 years of service. Police officers from his department, plus those from other local departments, a friend in the Drug Enforcement Agency, elected officials, family, and friends gathered for a sendoff at the police department and township hall.
Ret.-Lt. Bazzy’s family present included his parents Charles and Karen Bazzy, his wife Jennifer, and their children Charles T. and William. After lots of speeches and awards, the celebration ended with a meal.
Van Buren Township Police Chief Jason Wright said Lt. Bazzy wanted to retire a year ago, but he asked him to stay on one year longer, and he did.
