From a release sent this week, Sen. Roy McDonald, R-Saratoga, will work the night shift with members of the Troy Police Department.

“These officers put their safety on the line to provide security for our families, friends and neighbors. I’m very supportive of these hard working individuals and I’m looking forward to a great experience with the officers and Chief Tedesco,” said McDonald in a release which dubbed the event "Ride Along with Roy".

The release goes on to say that the Senator will be visiting other local departments, including Saratoga Springs. SSPD officials did not return calls for comment on any pending ride along event.
