There are two new deputy directors in
the Canton Township Public Safety
Department.
The newpositions were created as part
of a departmental restructuring plan
approved in August by members of the
townshipboard of trustees.
Christopher Stoecklein has been
named to the position of deputy director
of fire. Stoecklein began his career with
Canton in 1996 as a public safety service
officer, and was promoted to firefighter
one year later. In 2013, he attained the
rank of deputy fire chief. Stoecklein is a
graduate of the Eastern Michigan
University Fire Staff and Command
School.
As deputy fire chief, he was responsi-
ble for overseeing the extensive fire serv-
ice and paramedic training programs, as
well as the township Fire Inspection and
Prevention Unit. Stoecklein also assisted
with preparing the annual department
budgets and strategic plan.
The new deputy director of police is
Chadwick Baugh. Baugh began his career
with Canton in 1996 as a police officer. He
was promoted to the rank of sergeant in
2008 and then to lieutenant in 2014.
Baugh has a bachelor's degree in
Criminal Justice from Madonna
University, and is a graduate of the
Eastern Michigan University Police Staff
and Command School. As a lieutenant, he
served as platoon commander in the
patrol division, overseeing the daily oper-
ation of his shift of sergeants, patrol offi-
cers and PSSOs. In addition, he was
responsible for providing training, direc-
tion and motivation of subordinate per-
sonnel.
In their new roles, Stoecklein and
Baugh will work under the direction of
Public Safety Director JoshuaMeier, over-
seeing the efficient operation of their
respective departments.
“They will be responsible for ensuring
their departmental missions, vision and
values are carried out through the devel-
opment of staff, policy, and budget. Both
departments currently employ an
unprecedented young workforce, provid-
ing an opportunity for the deputy direc-
tors to empower their command staff with
the ability to mentor and cultivate these
young individuals to reach their maxi-
mum potential-creating quality service-
oriented employees, while also develop-
ing future leaders of the agency,” Meier
said in a prepared statement.
“I am excited to have Deputy Director
Stoecklein and Deputy Director Baugh
promoted to my executive leadership
team,” Meier said. “I am confident they
will be instrumental in contributing inno-
vative ideas to the new administration-
forging the police and fire departments in
a positive, progressive direction for the
future.”
