ROCHESTER — Retired Police Chief David Dubois will be given special recognition during the Police Commission meeting on Wednesday evening, after having served the Police Department for almost three decades.
Dubois, whose retirement officially started on Friday, was Rochester's police chief for the past 10 years. On Thursday, Michael Allen was sworn in as the new chief of the department.
On Wednesday evening, members of the Police Commission will present Dubois with a retirement badge, as well as other items that are meant to be a surprise, said Allen.
"It's the right thing to do, to honor him for the years of service," said Allen on Monday. "He has given 29 years of service to the city of Rochester — dedicated service. He served it with honor (and) integrity."

Police Commission Vice Chairman Al Bemis said he expects many people, including Dubois' wife, to attend Wednesday's recognition ceremony.
"We are hoping for a great turnout," said Bemis.
Also on Wednesday, a new police officer, Charles Pendlebury, will take his oath of office. Pendlebury, 24, is expected to graduate from the state Police Academy in September.

The meeting will take place at 7 p.m., in the Council chambers at the City Hall.
