 Greetings;
Please let me introduce myself, I am David Niedermeier, the
Police Chief for the Hazel Park Police Department.
As your Police Chief, my goal is to maintain the streets and
neighborhoods of the City Hazel Park as a safe, tranquil and
a desirable place to live, do business and spend your free time.
I strive to provide the finest attainable police services to
this community. While providing this service, I pledge to do
so with the highest level of respect, ethics, resourcefulness,
professionalism and vigor.
I am a veteran police officer with the City of Hazel Park Police
Department and have ascended through the ranks and held numerous
positions within the department. After graduation from the police
academy, I worked the streets as a patrol officer for several
years. I then transferred to the position as the department's
investigator in the Youth Bureau. After maintaining this position
for several years I was promoted to the rank of sergeant and
went back to the patrol division as the supervisor of the afternoon
shift. Later I took the position of detective and spent numerous
years in the detective bureau investigating a wide range of
crimes. My next promotion was to lieutenant; I again went back
to road patrol and worked the afternoon shift, this time as
the shift commander. The promotion to the Chief of Police is
the current office that I hold.
My education includes a Bachelor of Science degree from Wayne
State University in Criminal Justice. I have extensive in-service
continued education which partially includes; Crime Prevention,
Evidence Technician, Nationally Certified Arson Investigator,
4 State Advanced Training Certificates of Accreditation in Law
Enforcement, Criminal Profiling and Police Executive Training
for Chiefs, just to name a few.
A partial listing of departmental awards bestowed in accordance
with the Michigan Association of Chiefs of Police include: 3
individual Certificates of Merit for armed robbery arrests;
Life Saving Award; Commendation for an armed robbery arrest;
Unit Commendation for a breaking & entering arrest; Departmental
Citation for Officer of the Year Award - 1994; Safe Driving
Award (5year); Safe Driving Award (10year); as well as numerous
letters of commendation from various police chiefs, citizens,
prosecutors, other police departments as well as other governmental
and private organizations.
I am very excited to be your Police Chief. I have grand visions
for both this Police Department as well as this City. I intend
to invest my energy, knowledge and efforts into making both
models of excellence within the Metropolitan Detroit Area and
a benchmark within the State of Michigan.
If I can be of any assistance, or if you wish to send me a letter
commenting on our department or any of the programs that we
offer, or if you have suggestions that may assist our police
department in our goal to achieve excellence, please send me
an E-mail or a letter by regular mail to my attention at the
police department. |
