2 Letter from the Chief: Timothy A. Buelow I am pleased to present the 29 Annual Report. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the men and women of the Marysville Police Department. Their dedication, professionalism and hard work help make the City of Marysville a great place to live. I would also like to thank the citizens of our community for their assistance throughout the year. A police department is only as good as the citizens they serve. A trusted relationship with our citizens is essential in providing quality police services. Our goal is to provide fair, professional, quality service to our citizens and those visiting our community. We strive each and every day to live up to the high ethical standards our citizens expect from our police department. 29 was a year of transition for our department. Chief Mark Thorner, who served for over 3 years, the last 1 as Chief of Police retired in October. Assistant Chief Ron Buckmaster and Sgt. Timothy Phipps took over leadership roles within the department. We also saw the passing of long time Retired Chief of Police, Jack Pappy Farrer. Chief Farrer retired in Our school resource/juvenile officer, Danielle Quain came back to road patrol duties after the position was eliminated due to school budget cuts. Our department remains committed to continuing our valuable and cooperative relationship with all of our schools and teachers for the benefit of our kids. The Marysville Police Department utilized many grants this year to improve our equipment and technology. The department utilized $192,496 from federal equipment grant funds from the Department of Homeland Security. These funds were used for new mobile data terminal computers for police vehicles to connect to the State of Michigan Core Talon network, a new water plant security system, binoculars, thermal imager, radios and a fire department paging system, radio repeaters and Geographic Information Software. The police department also took part in Operation Stonegarden, which continues into 21. It is a Department of Homeland Security initiative putting extra patrols out throughout the year in border communities to enhance border security. Our department continues to take part in the State of Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planning grant funding of extra patrols targeting drunken driving and seat belt enforcement. The cost of these extra patrols is reimbursed to the city by these grant funds. The men and women of the Marysville Police Department look forward to another successful year in 21 serving the citizens of this great community.
