Deandre Plear has officially
joined the Westland Police
Department as a patrolman.
Plear, 24, took his oath of
office April 17. He is a lifelong
resident of the city and is a grad-
uate of John Glenn High School.
He served in the Air National
Guard Reserves for six years
and has been a Westland Police
ServiceAid for three years.
Police Service Aids are part-
time employees and are typically
college students who are pursu-
ing careers in law enforcement.
These aids supplement the back
desk police position and answer
non-emergency phone calls and
supervise and process prisoners,
noted Westland Police Chief Jeff
Jedrusik. This allows for the
police department to add two
additional officers to the road
daily, he noted.
“The aids are trainedwith the
techniques that Westland offi-
cers receive and the program
allows us to train and evaluate
potential new officers,” com-
mented Jedrusik. “We have
hired a number of service aids
as Westland Police officers over
the years and they have also
been hired by a number of other
departments.” “We welcome
Ofc. Plear as a full-fledged mem-
ber of the Westland Police
Department,” commented
Mayor
William
Wild.
“Plear's three years with
Westland PD have given him
insight into the way our depart-
ment works and the high level of
professionalism that we
expect fromour
officers.”

Westland City Councilman
Kevin Coleman has announced
his candidacy for the job of
mayor.
Coleman, 33, is completing
the final year of his first term
on the city council. He will face
incumbent MayorWilliamWild,
who has also declared his can-
didacy. The pair will face off
during the Nov. 7 general elec-
tion if no third candidate files
for the mayoral seat. Should
any other candidates file, a pri-
mary election will be sched-
uled Aug. 8 to narrow the field
to two candidates.
Coleman is a 20-year resi-
dent of the community and
made his announcement in
front of city hall last
Wednesday. He is a member of
the Westland Veterans
Association Committee; a for-
mer member of the Westland
Festival Committee and has
organized fundraising events
for both the Alzheimer's
Association and Juvenile
DiabetesResearch.
In his public announcement
Coleman cited “a need for
change and strong leadership
tomove the city forward.”
Along with his family mem-
bers, Coleman was supported
at his announcement by cur-
rent Westland City Councilman
Peter Herzberg who has filed
for re-election to a council
term.
Coleman said that his priori-
ties during his campaign would
be roads andpublic safety.
“I am the get tough on crime
candidate in this race,” he said.
He noted that opposing a
long-time mayor like Wild who
is serving his 11th year in the
top job will be a challenge. He
said he was anticipating a
grassroots effort to support his
candidacy from those who
oppose current administrative
policies anddecisions.
He also announced a cam-
paign kickoff event open to the
public set for 2 p.m. Saturday,
May 20 at Token Lounge in
Westland.
