Police Chief Files Claim Against Town | Rochester News

Greece Police Chief Michael Wood is launching a bold legal fight, filing a claim against the Town Supervisor and Board, accusing them of a months-long campaign to force him out—claiming Supervisor Jeff McCann even demanded his resignation. Despite attempts to negotiate a severance deal, the town refused. Wood was placed on administrative leave just days after McCann’s announcement, amid rising scrutiny from the New York State Police over misconduct allegations. But Wood denies any wrongdoing, calling the investigation politically motivated and damaging his reputation and future career prospects. After nearly four decades of public service, he insists he was brought to Greece to restore integrity and accountability—and that he succeeded. He’s confident a fair review will clear his name and honor his legacy. The Town has issued its own statement, but details remain under wraps as this high-stakes showdown unfolds.
