MUSKEGON HEIGHTS, MI – In the beginning, it was his height that got Maurice Sain noticed by the Muskegon Heights chief of police.
Sain was playing basketball for Muskegon Community College when he met Chief George Smith. Smith took one look at the 6-foot-5-inch Sain and said, “I need some big guys like you on my police force,” Sain remembers.
The Muskegon Heights Police Department ended up sponsoring Sain’s attendance at the police academy. He’s worked for the department ever since.
Fast forward more than two decades and it’s Sain who’s chief of police – and looking for recruits for the police force.
