Local actors bring Hello
Dolly to Canton stage
Canton Public Safety Director
Joshua Meier and Deputy Police
Chief Craig Wilsher made a spe-
cial appearance before the mem-
bers of the Commission on
Accreditation
for
Law
Enforcement Agencies, Inc.
(CALEA) lastmonth.
Their responses to the formal
interview allowed the Canton
Township Police Department to
once again retain the coveted
international accreditation status
from the prestigious organiza-
tion.
Canton first met the rigorous
criteria required for such accred-
itation in 2007 and has had that
status renewed following a
review of procedures and poli-
cies every three years since that
time. To merit re-accreditation
every three years, department
officials must demonstrate that
the agency has continued to com-
ply with the standards set forth
by CALEA. Along with the sub-
mission of annual reports, the
department must successfully
pass an on-site assessment and
hearing before the commission
members.
Last fall, representatives from
CALEA conducted a comprehen-
sive on-site assessment of the
department, reviewing polices
and procedures to demonstrate
continued compliance. “I'm
proud of this department and the
work that has gone intomaintain-
ing our CALEA accreditation
over the past nine years,” said
Meier. “We do not take our
accreditation status for granted-
we are continually working to
improve by incorporating the
mission and philosophy of
CALEA into all policies and pro-
cedures within the Canton Police
Department,” he added.
CALEAaccreditation is touted
as “the gold standard in public
safety” and is considered a high-
ly-prized recognition of law
enforcement excellence. The
Canton Police Department con-
tinues to be the largest municipal
law enforcement agency in
Michigan to be accredited. Law
enforcement accreditation pro-
vides numerous benefits to the
community ranging from the
potential control of liability costs
to a stronger defense against liti-
gation. Accreditation standards
also require an in-depth evalua-
tion of department operations,
ensuring it is running at top effi-
ciency.
The latest re-accreditation
was granted for a three-year
term, during which time the
department will continue to
uphold the high standards on
which they received this presti-
gious award, Meier added.
The Inkster Commission on Aging is
offering multiple programs for senior
citizens at the Dozier Recreation
Complex.
Programs include Wii Bowling with
tournaments; crochet classes, jewelry
making, life enrichment workshops,
Yoga, Zumba Gold, sewing classes and
the Friendship Club. Some classes do
require an additional fee beyond annu-
al seniormembership.
Pamela Nions, outreach specialist,
will make monthly visits to senior com-
plexes in the city to invite residents to
learn more about the programs and
events which are offered at the Dozier
RecreationComplex.
On the first Wednesday of themonth,
she will visit Cherry Hill Square from
11 a.m. until noon and Cherry Hill
Place from12:30 until 1:30 p.m. She will
be at the Twin Towers from 1:45 until 3
p.m. to talk to seniors about the pro-
grams.
On the first Thursday of the month,
she will be at St. Clement's Manor from
11 a.m. until noon; at Chalaph Veteran's
Home from 12:30 until 1:30 p.m. and at
LehighCenter from1:45 until 3 p.m.
Nions said residents are urged to

grams. She reminded seniors that trans-
portation to the recreation complex is
