After four and a half years serving as one of your community policing deputies, my time has come to an end. I have received a new assignment, one that allows me to continue serving my fellow citizens in Ingham County as a member of the Sheri ’s Office, but will require me to leave Delhi Township. It has been an absolute privilege to serve here and to have met so many of the wonderful people and merchants in the Holt community, and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work in this position. I will leave you in the very capable hands of my successor, Deputy James Rowley.
Like me, Deputy Rowley is a veteran officer, having served with the Sheriff ’s Office since December of 2001. He has worked in a variety of positions within the department and brings many valuable skills to his new position. Deputy Rowley will be picking up where I leave o with this column, offering all of you advice on safety, community resources, and ways in which to partner with the Sheri ’s Office to keep the Holt community and Delhi Township the great place it is to live and work.
I hope all of you will remember our mantra: IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING. It is only through our combined efforts the public and police are able to combat and discourage crime. Together we make it work and together we make our community work. I hope 2016 is filled with much success and many exciting things for all of you!
As always, if you have questions or concerns you can reach the Delhi officers at 517-694-0045. Suspicious persons, activities, or immediate needs can be reported by dialing 911.
Stay safe out there.
