The Charlotte Police Department is an organization of self-directed, quality contributors, with a community -based philosophy of policing that encourages more citizen participation in crime reduction and allows greater coordination with other social agencies to address crime-treated problems. Special Units

Michigan’s Severe Weather Awareness Week this year runs March 21-27, with the annual voluntary statewide tornado drill on Wednesday, March 24th at 1 pm. We hope the tornado drill begins a broader conversation about emergency preparedness regarding:

Do you have a plan?
Where will you go?
What will you do?
Do you know the alert systems in your area?
How will you communicate?

Eaton County will be participating in the following ways:

1. We encourage agencies and organizations, businesses, families and individuals to discuss and practice their severe weather plan as a preparedness activity while following COVID-19 guidelines per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

2. Outdoor warning siren activation for all communities in Eaton County on Wednesday, March 24th at 1:00 pm

3. Testing of the countywide alert system (text/phone/email) on
Wednesday, March 24th at 1:00 pm

“Eaton County Central Dispatch and Eaton County Emergency Management will take this opportunity to practice our procedures as if it were an actual tornado warning,” according to 911 Director Michael Armitage. In addition to participating in the drill, residents of Eaton County can also prepare by creating a Smart911 account and registering for emergency alerts at eatoncounty911.org or smart911.com. Residents can also register for alerts by texting the word EATON to 67283.
