Westborough – As family, friends and Westborough residents looked on during the July 30 Board of Selectmen meeting, Town Clerk Wendy Mickel swore in two new Westborough police officers. Prior to that, Police Chief Jeffrey Lourie introduced the two officers to the Board and gave brief backgrounds on them.
Officer Christopher Traynor is a native of Shrewsbury and graduated from Iona College in New Rochelle, N.Y. with a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice. Traynor was the recipient of the 2017 Sean Collier Self Sponsorship Scholarship and subsequently attended the Lowell Police Academy. Upon graduation he began his law enforcement career as police officer serving the neighboring town of Upton.
Officer Eric K. Dyson Jr. is a native of Leicester and graduated from Leicester High School. Dyson began his law enforcement education by attending the Boylston Reserve Police Officer Academy and upon graduation was hired as a part-time police officer for the town of Hardwick. He subsequently attended the city of Worcester Police Academy and upon graduation began his full-time police career with the town of West Brookfield.
Officer Dyson comes from a distinguished law enforcement family, as his father and uncle currently serve with the Auburn Police Department and his cousin with the Worcester Police Department,” Lourie said.
