âExceptional candidates, top recruits, very qualified.â
Thatâs how Farmington Hills Police Chief Jeff King describes 10 new officers recently sworn in to his department.
King credits an âaggressive recruitment strategyâ for the new hires, as law enforcement agencies in general experience what he calls a âhiring crisis.â

The officers will fill spots created by retirements, both recent and anticipated in upcoming months, as well as bringing staffing levels up, King said.
