BIG congrats are in order for our two most recent promotions!

Chief Bradford has served with GOPD for nearly 4 years as Deputy Chief. After retiring as Chief of Brighton City PD after 26 years of service and recently becoming our acting Chief, he is now officially Chief of GOPD.

Deputy Chief Brittany Besso has been with GOPD for 11 years. She was promoted to Sergeant in 2023 and brings a wealth of knowledge. With experience in SWAT, Evidence Tech, FTO, and our Training Sergeant, we are excited to see the ways she will help lead our department.

Both Chief Bradford and DC Besso were officially sworn in at our township board meeting last week. 🎉🎉🎉

⚠️ NEW SCAM ALERT ⚠️

You get an email from a “recruiter” saying you’re perfect for a great job. They even mention details from your work history (pulled straight from your LinkedIn). But there’s a catch... your resume “doesn’t quite meet requirements,” so they urgently refer you to a “resume expert” who can fix it… for a fee.

It’s the latest scam going around. Legitimate recruiters will NEVER ask you to pay for anything to get a job.

Quick red flags:
🚩Sender uses a personal Gmail instead of a company email
🚩They pressure you to act immediately
🚩They want money for “resume help” or any part of the hiring process

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Trust your gut and never pay to apply for a job.

***PRESS RELEASE***

On Saturday, April 18th, GOPD officer were dispatched to an assault in progress on Marshall Road near Nine Mile Road. Officers arrived on scene to find a female who was severely beaten with significant injuries to the hands and face.

Upon further investigation, officers determined the victim was picked up voluntarily by two males in Pontiac, offering her a ride home. Instead of driving her home, the suspects held her involuntarily for 3-4 hours as they drove from Pontiac into Green Oak. She was ultimately forced out of the vehicle and her life threatened as suspects demanded she walk toward a dark, less populated area.

Based on the victim's detailed description, officers were able to quickly identify both the vehicle and the two suspects. The first suspect was found by GOPD officers while out patrolling and was arrested and arraigned on several felonies. The second suspect was arrested yesterday by Warren Police and transferred to the Livingston County Jail, pending arraignment on multiple felonies.

This case remains under active investigation. Quick action by our officers and detectives played a key role in both arrests, and we are grateful to Oakland County Sheriff's Office for their assistance as well.
