🚔 Citizens Police Academy Update!
Our Citizens Police Academy is officially three weeks in, and our participants have already gotten an inside look at several areas of the Farmington Hills Police Department!
So far, we’ve covered our Dispatch Center, Peer Support, Patrol Operations, SWAT, and Active Assailant Response.
One of the biggest eye-openers for participants is stepping into our Dispatch Center and seeing firsthand how much our dispatchers manage during a shift. With eight computer screens at each dispatcher’s workstation, it’s easy to see just how much information they monitor and coordinate every day! 📞🖥️
Next week, we’ll head to the Oakland County Medical Examiner’s Office to learn more about another important part of public safety.
A huge thank-you to everyone who signed up to participate! We appreciate your interest in learning more about the people, training, and teamwork that go into keeping our community safe. We look forward to the weeks ahead! 💙👮‍♂️

Every six months, our officers have the opportunity to bid on a different shift, bringing changes to our platoons and new opportunities for our team.
Midnights A recently said goodbye to Officer Buccina, who is transitioning to our Traffic Bureau after earning his new position.
While we’re excited to see him take this next step in his career, he’ll certainly be missed by his Midnights A family. We congratulate Officer Buccina on this well-deserved opportunity and wish him continued success in the Traffic Bureau! 🚔👏

🚲⚡ THINKING ABOUT BUYING AN E-BIKE FOR YOUR CHILD? KNOW THE LAW BEFORE YOU BUY!

Electric bikes are becoming increasingly popular with kids and teens, but did you know that not every electric bike qualifies as a legal e-bike under Michigan law?
Before making a purchase, here are a few important things parents should know:
🔹 Know the 3 classes of e-bikes: • Class 1: Pedal-assist only, with assistance up to 20 mph. • Class 2: Throttle or pedal-assist, with motor propulsion up to 20 mph. • Class 3: Pedal-assist only, with assistance up to 28 mph.
🔹 Check the bike’s specifications: Under Michigan law, a qualifying e-bike must have fully operable pedals, a seat or saddle, and an electric motor rated at no more than 750 watts. Check the manufacturer’s classification label before purchasing.
🔹 Know the age and helmet requirements: Michigan law prohibits anyone under 14 from operating a Class 3 e-bike. Riders under 18 who operate or ride as passengers on a Class 3 e-bike must wear a properly fitted, fastened helmet that meets applicable standards.
🔹 Understand where it can be ridden: Rules vary by location and trail type. Access to certain trails may depend on the e-bike’s class and local regulations.
🔹 Prioritize safety: Make sure your child understands traffic rules, can safely control and stop the bike, and wears a properly fitted helmet. Consider the rider’s experience, the bike’s weight, and its speed before allowing independent riding.

⚠️ Important: Some electric-powered bikes marketed as e-bikes may not meet Michigan’s legal definition. Modifications that increase speed or change motor operation can also affect how a vehicle is classified.
Parents, taking a few minutes to check the bike’s classification and Michigan’s requirements can help prevent confusion and promote safer riding.

📌 Save this post and share it with other parents!
For more information, review Michigan’s electric bicycle laws, MCL 257.13e and MCL 257.662a.

🚔 Celebrating New Beginnings and Career Milestones at the Farmington Hills Police Department! 🎉
Last Friday, we were proud to swear in our two newest police officers, Officer Jordan and Officer Patterson! Please join us in welcoming them to the Farmington Hills Police Department.
Before hitting the streets, both officers will complete a four-week orientation program to familiarize themselves with our department’s policies, procedures, equipment, and community expectations. Upon completing orientation, they will begin their field training program, where they will work alongside experienced officers to develop their skills and prepare for solo patrol.
We’re also excited to welcome two new dispatchers to our team! We’re especially proud of Dispatcher Hettel, who previously served as a police cadet and has now transitioned into a dispatch role. It’s always rewarding to see members of our department continue to grow and pursue new opportunities in public service.
In addition, please join us in congratulating Dispatcher Outlaw on her promotion to Dispatch Supervisor! This achievement recognizes an important step forward in their career, and we look forward to seeing their continued leadership and contributions to our communications team.
Please help us congratulate Officer Jordan, Officer Patterson, Dispatcher Hettel, our newest dispatcher, and Dispatcher Outlaw on these exciting milestones! We’re proud to have each of them as part of our team and look forward to the positive impact they will make serving our community.
Welcome aboard, and congratulations to all! 👏💙
