FARMINGTON HILLS If you stop by the Farmington Hills Police Department or get pulled over while out on the road, you may be met with a new face you haven’t seen before.
On Dec. 18, 10 new police officers were sworn into the department.
Farmington Hills Police Chief Jeff King said the decision to onboard the new class of officers came from preparing for roughly five to six retirements that could take place this year.
“We’ve always been trailing two to three officers behind our authorized staffing levels,” King said, adding that the department’s budgeted staffing level is 106 people. “It was easily established that anywhere from eight to 10 officers would bring us in the area of our full staffing when these pending retirements took place.”
