Staff The Department of Public Safety is the result of the merger in 1986 of the police and fire departments. The administrative offices consist of a director, deputy director, and a sergeant who combines fire and crime prevention duties. A lieutenant and two sergeants and a detective patrolman comprise the Detective Bureau and one public safety officer is assigned to the Directed Patrol Unit, a plain clothes specialized patrol assignment. The Patrol Division has four platoons, each consisting of a lieutenant, sergeant, and seven public safety officers. Sworn personnel are cross-trained to provide all police and fire-related services. In addition, 26 public safety officers are also certified as emergency medical technicians to staff the two ambulances that transport patients to a hospital in the Grosse Pointe area. Several of the officers are designated as Youth Service Officers and they participate in special crime and fire prevention activities in our local schools. They reward outstanding school safety patrollers with a monthly luncheon and are actively involved in community events and programs. The support staff includes a secretary and clerk, four civilian dispatchers, and two part-time ordinance officers. A Public Safety Auxiliary Unit of residents and business people who volunteer their time to augment the sworn officers on patrol and at special events. |
