Welcome to Northville

Members of the Northville Township Police Department welcomed new officer
Andrew Prieskorn to the force last week. Prieskorn was born and raised in
Westland and is a graduate of Wayne Memorial High School. Prieskorn first
joined the Dallas Police Department, where he worked for a year and later joined
the City of Burleson Police Department where he was promoted to the rank of
sergeant and served as a member of the SWAT team and bike unit. He was also
a Field Training Officer and an SFST instructor. He and his wife, Jennifer, above,
returned to Michigan to be closer to family and raise their 14-year-old and 11-
year-old daughters and 6-year-old son. Prieskorn was welcomed by Police Chief
Scott Hilden, at right, and Township Clerk Roger Lundberg.
