We want to send out a Friday shoutout to Renaissance Chiropractic and Great Harvest Bread Company for their generosity in providing breakfast snacks and lunch. Our staff greatly appreciates the good food, especially on such a cold day.

Traffic enforcement has been a top priority for our department for many years. We understand education and enforcement go hand in hand to promote traffic safety.

Today our day shift officers made 46 traffic stops. A vast majority of those stops resulted in verbal warnings, thus the education piece. Several other stops resulted in arrests, ranging from warrants, to suspended licenses, unregistered vehicles and even an OWI. A female, stopped around 3pm, had a blood alcohol level of .21%!
But more importantly, during day shift there were no reported traffic crashes! Traffic enforcement/education saves lives and protects property. We are committed to keeping Grand Blanc Township roads safe.

These are used Stop Sticks, recently deployed by our officers to end two separate pursuits. They are placed in the roadway to safely deflate a fleeing vehicle’s tires. Each of our patrol vehicles are equipped with a set.
The first pursuit was initiated by an outside agency and came into Grand Blanc Township. Yesterday, a vehicle fled from a traffic stop after the unidentified driver refused to exit his vehicle. In both incidents, the wanted felons were arrested with no injuries to the suspects, officers or motoring public.
These are a one time use tool, so it looks like we’ll be placing an order very soon.

On a day like today, nothing better than sharing a meal together as a squad. Spending some quality time, while putting the daily duties on pause. Now we know what a day in the life of a firefighter looks like! 😂

The snow has started coming down and it looks like we’re in for some accumulation. If you must venture out this evening, please be careful and allow extra time for your drive. It wouldn’t hurt our feelings if everyone just chilled at home tonight!

A winter storm warning for heavy snow has been issued for locations along and north of M-46 where 5-8 inches is expected to fall. Snow amounts taper off farther south, with little to no accumulation expected near the southern Michigan border.

This is Zoey. She eloped from her house in the middle of the night, and was quickly returned after finding her chip with our scanner! Please get your pets chipped, or, have them wear contact info on their collar so we can keep having happy endings like this!

If you see Jed out and about please contact the owner. (Contact info in pictures)

Be prepared for what is possibly heading our way on Wednesday. We use the word “possibly”, because we’re not meteorologists and people expect us to be correct! 😉

A winter storm is expected to impact the region on Wednesday with accumulating snow

Tonight we had this pack of Cub Scouts stop by for a tour. Cadet Rockafellow was their tour guide and showed them around the department. They had some great questions and who knows, maybe one day one or two of them may join our ranks!

Today we honor the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. Today has become a day of service to keep his memory alive. Be sure and pay it forward!

Traffic enforcement is always one of our top priorities. This weekend three stops lead to OWI arrests, but as they say…there’s more to the story!
All three drivers had high BAC’s, meaning above a .17%. One driver blew a .27%! Another arrestee, who just happened to be a convicted felon, was found with a loaded unregistered handgun.
However, the most disturbing case is what officers found when they approached the vehicle. The drunk father thought it was ok to have his one-year-old son ride in the front seat, with no car seat! Beside a OWI/High BAC, he was charged with child endangerment!
Traffic enforcement saves lives!

We are asking for your help in identifying this person of interest. A wallet was stolen here in Grand Blanc Township. The credit cards were later used at several locations in Oakland County. If you recognize this male, please call Detective Monroe.

A day doesn’t go by that we don’t appreciate the men and women who proudly serve our community. They leave their families to protect yours, not knowing what their shift will hold. They unselfishly run into harms way to protect others. The Grand Blanc Township Police Department will always strive to make our community a safe place to live, work and visit!

After 25 1/2 years of service, Lieutenant Matt Simpson is retiring. During his career he held the ranks of officer and sergeant, before being promoted to lieutenant. He was also the department’s first K9 officer. Thank you for your dedication and service to our department and the Grand Blanc community! Best of luck with the next chapter!

Here is your feel good story of the day!

On Saturday, we posted about this pup running near Walmart. Several people, along with our officers, attempted to catch him, to no avail. We had some determined dog lovers who didn’t give up. They set a trap and used rotisserie chicken as bait. After two days, they were able to safely catch him. He was unsuccessfully checked for a chip and is currently in foster care. Thank you for helping this lost pup!
