Honors and Awards


Citation for Meritorious Service 

On September 9, 2012, the Oakland County Sheriff’s SWAT team was dispatched to assist the West Bloomfield Township Police Department for a barricaded gunman where one of their officers had been shot and killed. Once on scene, SWAT members were deployed to their positions and during the 19 hour stand-off, took over 125 rounds of fire. The SWAT members responded courageously under gun fire and remained professional at all times during this high stress incident. In doing so, no other citizens or officers were injured. Your bravery this day did not go unnoticed and you deserve to be recognized for this award.
