ALBANY - Albany's police chief Robert Levitt retired from police work Friday after nearly 18 years at the Albany Police Department. Levitt, a police officer for more than 40 years, started working in Albany in October 1998 after working as a police officer and chief in Cary, Illinois. "I feel a little sad about retiring, since this has been my persona for 41 years," Levitt said.
