Living a dream

Northville Township Police Ofc. Megan Cromie has
gone from a reassuring voice heard on the phone as
residents called for services, to offering in-person aid
to those in emergency situations. Cromie fulfilled a
childhood dream recently when she was sworn in as a
member of the department in front of her family and
friends, including her fiancé, who also is a police offi-
cer. Cromie, a native of Livonia, said she has been
dreaming of being a police officer since she was a
child, following the identical career path her grandfa-
ther chose. Since November 2019, she has been a
Northville Township 911 dispatcher and was the reas-
suring voice residents heard when they called for
assistance. While working as a dispatcher, Cromie
enrolled at the Wayne County Regional Police
Academy in January and graduated May 18. "I have
enjoyed my time with the township and am incredibly
grateful to return in a new capacity," Cromie said.
