🎃 Halloween is almost here, and we need your help! 🍬👻

With downtown festivities on Friday and Halloween falling on Saturday, we're expecting plenty of little ghosts, goblins, superheroes, and princesses roaming around this year!

We're reaching out to our wonderful community for candy donations to help us keep those treat bags full and the little monsters happy! Any donations are greatly appreciated. 🍫🍭

Officer Raymond Brooks had the honor of presenting Officer Michael Rand with a Lifesaving Commendation Award. Officer Rand responded to a call of a person who wanted to harm themselves by walking into a river or using sharp objects. Officer Rand began checking the nearby bridges and located the person on the East Portage Avenue Bridge. The person climbed over the railing. Officer Rand spoke with the subject as a distraction until he was able to move close enough to grab the person’s arm to pull them to safety. Officer Rand maintained awareness and control by removing a knife from the person’s hand. He is an inspiring example of courage, sound judgement, and compassion.

Never Forget.

Today, the Michigan Association of Chiefs of Police joins our nation in remembering the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honoring the extraordinary courage of the first responders who ran toward danger.

We remember the nearly 3,000 lives taken that day. We remember the police officers, firefighters, EMS personnel, and countless others who answered the call. And we remember the spirit of unity and service that brought our country together in the days that followed.

On this 25th anniversary, their courage, sacrifice, and service remain with us.

September 11, 2001 - Never Forget.
