The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office annual Coats for the Cold drive is underway!

A big thank-you to our generous partners — Genisys Credit Union, Real Estate One, Max Broock, 1-800-Self Storage, and Mackenzie Movers — for helping make this annual tradition possible!

Sheriff Bouchard enjoyed a really cool event at the DAC that raises a ton of money for the military academies boxing programs. After a packed house great dinner, exhibition matches between Navy, Army, and Air Force. America is in good hands with the next generation that we thank for protecting America.

Sheriff Bouchard appreciated the opportunity to sit down with Sunny Reddy, Suril Patel, Prabha Reddy, and Ram from Krishna Temple. Hearing their concerns reminds us how important it is for every family and faith community to feel safe, supported, and confident that law enforcement is there for them.

Sheriff Bouchard said, “Let me be clear: Threats, intimidation, and violence have no place in Oakland County. Everyone deserves to feel safe in their homes, neighborhoods, and places of worship, regardless of faith or background.

We are committed to protecting our communities, responding to threats, and building strong partnerships with community leaders.

I encourage everyone to stay vigilant, report threats or suspicious activity, and keep the lines of communication open with law enforcement. Your your involvement helps keep our communities safe.

To our Indian American and Hindu communities: We hear you, and are here for you, and your safety is paramount.”
