KEEGO PROUD!
I'd like to introduce you to the two Keego Harbor PD officers that responded to the Temple of Israel critical incident that occurred on 3/12/2026. Ofc. James Dennis (left) & Det. Kevin Oliver. I am so proud of these officers, as we should all be! The call came out at 12:20p (per video time stamp) for all available units to respond. Without hesitation they responded and arrived at 12:26. After linking up with their/our WBPD, OLPD & SLPD partners, they all went into the building and started to clear rooms and secure the area.
Both of these officers were the perfect ones to respond. Ofc. James Dennis is KHPD's fi****ms instructor who shoots/trains avidly and Det. Oliver is also an avid target shooter who has combat experience overseas.
We should also be so proud of ALL the assisting agencies/responders.The security detail in place at the Temple Israel are amazing heroes who immediately engaged the suspect. There were other heroes too! Ones that never get enough credit... West Bloomfield Dispatch! They did an incredible job under the circumstances. Of course we can't forget our awesome firefighters; West Bloomfield Fire Department who were on scene as well.
Stay vigilant and report suspicious activity!
Chief Barnes
