4 Chief s Comments April 2017 Supervisor Leo Savoie, Treasurer Brian Kepes, Clerk Jan Roncelli, Bloomfield Township Board of Trustees, As I enter my 30th and final year of service in law enforcement, this will be my final, formal address to the Bloomfield Township Governing Body. I had the great fortune to be hired fresh out of college in 1987 as a young patrol officer with the Bloomfield Township Police Department. My career has been beyond rewarding and has afforded me many unique experiences. While the job was very demanding at times, it was made better by a township administration and community that supported and truly cared for their police officers. I know I am biased, but the men and women that I have served with in our profession are some of the most honest, caring, bravest and hardworking people you will ever meet. It was a great honor to serve the Township of Bloomfield for the last 30 years. I will forever be indebted and fondly remember the Township, the citizens of our community and the officers I served with. Respectfully Submitted, Geof Gaudard Chief of Police

They are the most visible and what the community sees of our police department on a daily basis. These officers are courteous, professional, dedicated and responsive to the needs of Bloomfield Township. The primary function of the Patrol Division is to provide core police services to the community. Patrol Officers are responsible for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week response to citizen-initiated calls for service, in addition to officer-initiated activity. Some functions performed by the Patrol Division are preventive patrols, preliminary criminal investigations, traffic enforcement, response to all emergency situations, accident investigations, and ensuring the safety and security in and around all school zones. Patrol Officers are thoroughly trained to investigate a multitude of crimes. Officers receive ongoing training in CPR/First-Aid, firearms, self-defense, ethics, vehicle operations, interviewing, testifying in court cases, as well as legal updates to local, state and federal laws. Through this training and experience, patrol officers have the expertise and tools necessary to provide the highest quality police services to the citizens of Bloomfield Township. 5

11 PATROL DIVISION The Patrol Division is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Bloomfield Township is divided into three districts or patrol areas. These districts are staffed every shift to provide the quickest response times. These districts are complimented by additional staffing from specialty units that are not assigned to districts and focus on selective enforcement areas (i.e. speeding, break-ins, etc.). 6

12 TRAFFIC INVESTIGATIONS UNIT The Traffic Investigations Unit is responsible for monitoring and soliciting citizen compliance and cooperation with state motor vehicle codes.

13 CANINE UNIT The Bloomfield Township Police Department has one of the longest running Canine Units in the State of Michigan (formed in the 1960 s). The mission of the Canine Unit is to assist officers and save lives through the use of a canine s unique and advanced abilities. The Unit is designed to assist patrol officers in areas of officer safety, tracking, and detection of illegal narcotics. The Bloomfield Township Police Canine Unit consists of two teams: Officer Carlson and K-9 Kody, and Officer Follman and K-9 Max. The K-9s Kody and Max handle specific duties that would be dangerous or difficult for officers to handle, and keep officers out of harmful situations. These teams primarily work night shifts, but remain available for call-out seven days a week, and work in partnership with other K-9 teams throughout the county. K-9 teams also participate in community events throughout the township. Officer Carlson and Kody K-9 Activity Narcotic Searches Person/Article Bloomfield Twp.

24 FACILITIES Animal Welfare Bloomfield Township operates a state-certified animal shelter. This state-of-the-art facility is staffed by two uniformed Animal Welfare Officers and one civilian employee. This building is capable of providing shelter for dogs, cats and a variety of other wildlife. The staff collects and provides temporary care for animals until the animal can be claimed or transported to a facility that can provide extended care. Animal Welfare Officers answer questions from the public ranging from pet care to animal adoptions. They assist the police department in the collection and disposal of deceased wildlife, and are occasionally called upon to enforce State laws and Township ordinances regarding pets. These knowledgeable officers also assist citizens with the trapping and prevention of nuisance animals. The officers commonly are called to pick up and dispose of deceased wildlife both on and off the roadway. Bloomfield Township has a contract with Oakland County to dispose of larger deceased animals. Smaller animals are taken to Gasow Veterinary Clinic for treatment or disposal. While the operating cost of the animal shelter is covered by Bloomfield Township, other expenses are offset by public donations (i.e. food, blankets and animal toys).
