Garrett Camby

While working in her office one day Ginny heard a strong voice say: “I am looking for Virginia Donohue.” A police officer was standing in her doorway. His stern look quickly turned into a kind smile. “Remember me?” It had been 7 years since they had seen each other.

After attending SUNY Canton and graduating from the Police Academy at Mohawk Valley Community College, Garrett first became a campus officer at Syracuse University, before becoming a Patrol Officer for the Utica Police Department, and finally landing at the Syracuse Police Department. Throughout his journey, On Point for College helped him with transportation to and from college and provided plenty of encouragement.

Today, Garrett continues to mentor inner-city youth, and is working to form a police athletic league for young people. Garrett and his wife, Whitney, have two sons, Keondre and Brayden.
