Thank you to our Oakland County Sheriff's Office members and their families for your service and your sacrifice.
You are the best of the best, and wonderful members of our community. We are thankful to have you as friends, neighbors, and our protectors.
When the day is long and you are tired please remember how thankful we are for your efforts! 💛

On National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, we pause to recognize and thank the dedicated men and women who serve our communities with courage, integrity, and professionalism. Every day, they place themselves in harm’s way to protect others, often at great personal sacrifice, and they do so with an unwavering commitment to public safety and the rule of law. Law enforcement is more than a job—it is a calling rooted in service. Whether responding to emergencies, building trust with the community, or standing watch when others are asleep, our deputies and officers exemplify selflessness and resilience. Their work frequently goes unseen, but its impact is felt every day in the safety and stability of our neighborhoods.Today, and every day, we stand in gratitude and support of those who wear the badge, as well as their families who share in that sacrifice.

Contact us for more information regarding joining your local CERT group. We would love to have you as a part of the group!

When disaster strikes, CERT members step into action long before traditional resources can reach every neighborhood. Our teams assess the situation, identifying hazards and checking on those who may need immediate help. We assist our neighbors with basic first aid, safety support, and calm leadership when it’s needed most. And we activate alongside local responders to strengthen the overall response.
CERT isn’t just a program, it’s a community commitment. Together, we help our city recover, rebuild, and remain resilient.
