Canton Public Safety Director Joshua
Meier is proud of the way his team
responded to a Jan. 25 bank robbery.
“I'm very much proud of them,” Meier
said following the Feb. 13 Board of
Trusteesmeeting at which 57 department
members were lauded. The five hostages
from the Citizens Bank robbery on
Canton Center Roadwere released safely
and the suspect taken into custody after a
standoff withofficers.
“They did exactly what they were
trained to do,” Meier said. “It was a team
effort.”
Township Supervisor Pat Williams
read a proclamation at the meeting as
Public Safety personnel lined the room.
The proclamation noted, “Fifty seven
Public Safety personnel quickly assem-
bled into tactical, investigative, informa-
tive and responsive positions” upon
learning of the hostages and bank rob-
bery.
Also recognized were the Western
Wayne Special Operations and Crisis
Negotiations Teams, Western Wayne
Community Response Team, and the
FBI. The hostages were held for about
four and ahalf hours.
Meier noted some personnel who
worked Jan. 25 also were working during
the Feb. 13 board meeting and couldn't
attend.
Canton Township trustees approved
spending $215,000 for the purchase of
property located on Warren Road, home
of the current Fire Station No. 2, which
will be torn down and rebuilt. The cur-
rent stationdates to themid-1970s.
“It's equivalent to a college frat
house,” Supervisor Pat Williams said
after the Feb. 13meeting and unanimous
vote. “It's in tough shape.”
Fire Station No. 2 is between
Haggerty and Lilley roads on the north
side ofWarrenRoad.
“We're looking forward to getting to
work right away,” said Public Safety
Director Joshua Meier. “We're outgrow-
ing our dispatch center.”
Canton Public Safety staff is working
with Partners in Architecture of Mount
Clemens on the location for dispatch
operations.
“We're excited to see you get going,”
Williams saidduring themeeting.
Also on Feb. 13, township trustees
approved on first reading a measure to
add two members to the Canton
Planning Commission, for a total of nine.
This was to comply with changes in state
law.
Trustee Anne Marie Graham-Hudak
asked about the snowstormand if Canton
equipment could help to clear roads
under Wayne County jurisdiction.
Municipal Services Director Tim Faas
cited liability issues.
“We're going to make them aware of
our concern,” said Williams of Wayne
County and Executive Warren Evans.
Williams noted the center of Canton was
better plowed than its east and west
regions, and noted some one-fourth of
county vehicles being out of commission.
“That's moronic and we can help,”
Williams said of an upcoming meeting
with county officials.
Williams also talked about HVA
Ambulatory Services and SMART, which
is federally funded. An issue has arisen
with 180 days notice regarding drug test-
ing of drivers for the 16-some smaller
vehicles that assist seniors and the dis-
abled inCanton.
Williams said after the meeting HVA
finds the testing standards “redundant
and onerous. The service is not going to
go away,”Williams emphasized.
“We always come upwith a solution.”
