Yesterday, the Royal Oak Police Department was proud to support the 2026 Royal Oak Memorial Day Parade, as we gathered as a community to honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

Led by Chief Moore and the Royal Oak PD Honor Guard, our police officers, auxiliary officers, and 911 Dispatchers were proud to stand alongside our community in remembrance.

We'd be remiss if we didn't give a massive thank you and shout-out to our incredible ROPD Honor Guard. Their presentation of the colors, precision, and dedication represent the very best of our department. They put in countless hours of training to ensure our fallen heroes are honored with the highest level of dignity and respect, and they truly shined yesterday.

Thank you to everyone who lined the streets, waved flags, and shared this meaningful day with us. We are proud to serve this community.

We had a great time being a part of the Red Run Playground Ribbon Cutting. Thanks for the invite!!

Officer Stienke recently stopped by St. Mary's to spend some time with a local Girl Scout Daisy troop! The Daisies learned all about what police officers do and earned their Respecting Authority petal in the process.

Word on the street is they thought it was the coolest thing ever—and we think they're pretty cool, too! Great job earning your badge, girls!

This past Friday, ROPD officers joined students from St. Mary Catholic School Royal Oak for their annual “bike to school” event. Thanks for letting us join you on a great morning ride.

Looking for some fun while supporting a great cause this weekend, check out this event being put on by MADD Michigan - New. Visit their page for more details.

We would like to extend a big THANK YOU to Royal Oak resident Mr. David Dorobek for his continued support and generosity towards our department. For the sixth straight year, Mr. Dorobek has provided the entire department with meals to thank us for our service to the city during National Police Week. We remain grateful for the amazing support we receive from Mr. Dorobek and our residents. It is truly our honor to serve you all.

Congrats to ROPD Records Supervisor Karen Marano for receiving a service award earlier today from the Law Enforcement Records Management Association (LERMA). Mrs. Marano was recognized for her dedicated service as a longtime board member.

(LERMA) of Michigan is a nonprofit organization founded in 1993-1994 to support, train, and connect law enforcement records professionals across Michigan. It serves over 180 police agencies, sheriff's offices, and tribal agencies by improving records management, and ensuring legal compliance.

Congrats, Karen!
