“The feedback I've received from residents
and business people in the city has been all
positive and many commented on how nice
it was to be rewarded for safe driving.”
This year, RandomActs of KindnessWeek
was celebratednationallyFeb. 11-17.
The random acts of kindness by Romulus
police officers began Friday morning and
continued until all of the gift cards were dis-
tributed. Most of those benefiting from the
initiative live and/orwork inRomulus.
“People don't usually leave a contact with
a police officer on a traffic stop feeling better
about themselves, the police department, or
about their day in general. Hopefully, today
they walked away, drove away or cycled
away with a smile on their face,” Dickerson
said.
Police Lt. Philip Czernik, who is presi-
dent of the Romulus Command Officers
Association, said the union “is proud to sup-
port and sponsor this cause and, at the same
time, give something back to the community
we serve on a daily basis.”
Mayor Pro-Tem LeRoy Burcroff said he
and other members of the Romulus City
Council appreciated the unique and positive
effort asmuchas the gift card recipients.
sion of the purchase of vehicles for the pub-
lic safety department.
In addition to the two new ambulances
recently delivered to the Canton Township
Fire Department, the trustees agreed to
spend another $258,014 for public safety
vehicles.
The new ambulances will be used by the
six, two-man squads based at three fire sta-
tions who are on duty 24 hours a day in
Canton. All the Canton firefighters are para-
medics and all are Advanced Life Support
Certified, according toFireChief JoshMeier.
The recently delivered new ambulances
are built on a heavy-duty chassis, reducing
maintenance costs and service down-time of
theunits, he said.
“In an effort to reduce costs, we took
advantage of a trade-in program offered
through the vendor, applying our credit
received for the old ambulances toward the
new purchases,” saidMeier. “In addition, we
also participated in a consolidated (group)
purchase with Livonia and Northville
Township, therefore further bringing down
the price of the newsquads.”
Last year firefighter/paramedics respond-
ed to 5,472 medical calls that resulted in
more than 3,500 transports to area hospitals.
“Our calls for medical service continue to
rise, and we are fortunate to be able to pro-
vide top-notch advanced life support servic-
es to the residents and visitors of our com-
munity.,”Meier said.
The board of trustees also agreed unani-
mously to purchase four new Ford Taurus
police patrol vehicles and one crime-scene
Ford Explorer at a cost of $120,991; two
canine officer Chevy Tahoes for a total of
$53,844; two GMC trucks for the public works
division for $57,152, replacing vehicles the
township has used for 18 years and another
Ford Explorer for $26,054 for the use of the
fire chief, replacing an older vehicle that has
133,500 miles. That car will now be used by
the deputy fire chief.
LaJoy said that the township has benefit-
ed from a long-range plan to replace public
safety vehicles other communities struggle to
keep up with deteriorating equipment. The
vehicles being replaced have between
120,000 to 143,000miles.
The purchases were approved unani-
mously by the board of trustees.
