Senator Collins’ Statement on Passing of Chief Chris Greeley

Washington, D.C.—U.S. Senator Susan Collins issued this statement following the death of Holden Police Chief Chris Greeley:

“Holden Police Chief Chris Greeley was an extraordinary law enforcement official, community leader, and good friend.  He constantly went above and beyond his duty to keep residents safe by coming up with a seemingly endless variety of ways to give back to those around him.  From spearheading the annual 25 Days of Kindness, which allows Holden police officers to lend a helping hand to individuals and families who are less fortunate, to organizing a fundraiser for Sarah’s House, which provides hospitality to Mainers receiving cancer treatments, Chris leaves behind a powerful legacy of community service. 

“I last saw Chris just two weeks ago, while he was guest co-hosting WVOM.  Through his words as well as his actions, Chris demonstrated his devotion to others, earning him the trust and admiration of his officers and the affection of the community.  His passing is a tremendous loss not only to the Holden Police Department, but also to the entire region.  I extend my heartfelt condolences to his wife, Donna, as well as his entire family and many friends.”
