WL0103 - 120717 2.5 x 1.1.713
Two veteran officers of the
Canton
Public
Safety
Department have recently
retired.
Police Lt. Scott Hughesdon
ended his 27-year public safety
career in November and Police
Ofc, Michael Kowalski will
leave the department where he
has served for 23 years this
month.
Hughesdon was hired by the
department in 1990 and was
promoted to the rank of ser-
geant in 2006 and to lieutenant
in 2013. Early on as a police
officer, Hughesdon participated
in numerous special units
including assignments as a
detective in the Western Wayne
Criminal Investigations Unit, a
motor officer in the selective
enforcement unit, a range
instructor and as a field train-
ing officer. In his most current
position as lieutenant, he
served as a platoon command-
er in the patrol division, over-
seeing the day-to-day opera-
tions of his shift consisting of
sergeants, patrol officers and
public safety service officers.
He was also responsible for
providing training, direction
and motivation to his shift,
enhancing their level of per-
formance while on patrol,
police officials said.
Throughout his career,
Hughesdon received numerous
awards and citations, as well as
written compliments from citi-
zens who were recipients of the
kindness and professionalism
he displayed during every shift,
according to an official state-
ment fromthe department.
Kowalski was hired by the
Canton department in 1994,
starting his 23-year career as a
police officer. During his
career, Kowalski participated
in numerous special assign-
ments including the bicycle
unit, evidence technician unit,
fire investigation unit, and the
accident investigation unit. He
also served as a field training
officer, working with the newest
department officers. Kowalski
most notably left his mark with
the department as an under-
cover officer, working one-third
of his career assigned as a
detective with the Western
Wayne Criminal Investigations
Unit, a consortium of area
police departments, led by the
Michigan State Police. In this
assignment, Kowalski was able
to use his street-smart policing
instincts and techniques to
assist in high-level criminal
investigations and arrests,
according to police officials.
“The police department is
losing two valuable members of
the organization,” said Canton
Township Public Safety
Director Joshua Meier. “Scott
andMike bothmade significant
contributions to the organiza-
tion and to the Canton commu-
nity-their presence will be
notablymissed.”
schedulehehasn't been there in awhile.
He spent about four weeks on the cre-
ation of the chosendrawing, he said. The
youngest of four children of Steve and
Sheila Johnson, he added that neither of
his brothers or his sister shares his inter-
est in art.
That doesn't mean his talent is unap-
preciated, though. His parents, he said,
have ordered about 300 of the cards to
send to family and friends to celebrate
theholiday season.
“I'm still undecided about going to
school for art. But, maybe,” Johnson
said.
