ORTHVILLE
Northville Township wins
honors for budget plan
The Canton Township Police
Department will offer some very
special training April 23 through
May 28.
The department is planning a
new Citizens Police Academy for
individuals who are interested in
acquiring insight and knowledge
on how the police department
works to serve theCanton commu-
nity, according to Canton Public
SafetyDirector ToddMutchler.
Individuals attending the acad-
emy will be educated on the poli-
cies and operational procedures
of the department through pre-
sentations, demonstrations and
hands-on activities, Mutchler said.
Students' personal knowledge on
law enforcement's role in the
criminal justice system will be
enhanced, as well as their under-
standing of the training and edu-
cation required for police officers
to effectively handle the chal-
lenges of policework, he said.
“Academy participants will
gain insight into the difficult chal-
lenges lawenforcement personnel
face on a daily basis through inter-
esting and informative instruc-
tion,” saidMutchler.
The overall mission of the
Citizens Police Academy is to
develop positive relationships
between citizens and police offi-
cers, enhancing cooperation,
understanding, and general good
will.
“We recognize the value of
transparency in police work, and
believe in the age-old concept of
the police are the public and the
public are the police,” said
Mutchler.
“The department conducted
several well-received Citizen
Police Academy classes in the
early 1980s, andwe feel the timing
was right to reinstate this educa-
tional program for a cross-section
of citizens of our community,” he
added.
Canton Police Department
Citizens Police Academy will con-
tinue for six weeks from 6-9 p.m.
Thursdays April 23 - May 28, with
one Saturday morning session on
May 23.
Class size is limited for this free
program. Applicants must be 21 or
older, live or work in Canton
Township and have no felony con-
victions and nomisdemeanor con-
victions in the past three years.
Applicants will be subject to a
background check.
Applications are available
online at
ty.org, or in person at the front
desk of the Canton Police
Department located at 1150 S.
Canton Center Road. Applications
will be accepted until March 15.
Questions can be directed to Staff
Operations Sgt. James Harrison at
(734) 394-5411.
Northville Township was
recently notified that the finan-
cial reporting in their communi-
ty has been awarded the
Distinguished
Budget
Presentation Award from the
government Finance Officers
Association.
The honor was awarded to
Treasurer Marjorie F. Banner
after a careful examination of
the 2015 Budget and Financial
Plan. Municipal financial pro-
fessionals carefully reviewed
the presentation to assess how
well the community budget
serves as a policy document; a
financial plan, an operations
guide and a communications
device, according to a prepared
release from the association
office inChicago.
Banner will receive a
Certificate of Recognition for
Budget Presentation as the indi-
vidual designated as being pri-
marily responsible for having
achieved the award.
“The award represents a sig-
nificant achievement by the
entity. It reflects the commit-
ment of the governing body and
staff to meeting the highest prin-
ciples of governmental budget-
ing. In order to receive the budg-
et award, the entity had to satis-
fy nationally recognized guide-
lines for effective budget presen-
tation, the release stated.
To achieve the award, the
Northville financial presenta-
tion had to be rated as proficient
in all four of the relevant cate-
gories and satisfy another 14
mandatory criteria within those
categories.
Finance Director Marina
Neumaier said that this was the
second consecutive year the
township had received the acco-
lades for financial reporting pre-
sentations.
“The board's vision to set in
writing the framework for the
overall fiscal management of the
township was instrumental in
assuring the highest standards
of financial stewardship are fol-
lowed. The board sets the bar
for excellence and promoting
transparency in public finance.
This national award represents
the highest form of recognition
in governmental budgeting,”
Neumaier said in a prepared
statement. “The GFOA's
Distinguished
Budget
Presentation Awards Program is
the only national awards pro-
gram in governmental budget-
ing,” she added.
The Government Finance
Officers Association serves the
needs of more than 18,000
appointed and elected local,
state and provincial-level gov-
ernment officials and other
finance practitioners.
We recognize the value of transparency
in police work, and believe in the age-old
concept of the police are the public
and the public are the police.

Canton will host Citizens Police Academy
School lost to fire
Firefighters from Northville Township and Livonia Fire
Departments use an aerial ladder truck to battle a blaze that
destroyed the Northville Montessori Center School on Tuesday
morning. The private school, which sits on 5 acres on Haggerty

90 students. The cause of the fire is under investigation accord-
ing to Northville Township Public Safety Director John Werth.
Township Fire Chief Richard Marinucci said the fire started in
the early morning hours and was not immediately detected.
Marinucci said the building is a total loss. There were no report-
ed injuries.
