On the recordJuly 29, 2022
Madam Speaker, today I rise to honor Grand Blanc Township chief of police Ron Wiles as he retires after 26 years of service on the police force. In his quarter century serving Grand Blanc Township, Chief Wiles has been an incredible champion for community policing, bringing law enforcement and the community together keeping mid-Michigan residents safe from crime. Chief Wiles is an important member of the Genesee County Advocates and Leaders for Police and Community Trust, or ALPACT, a forum where community leaders and law enforcement come together to develop public safety solutions for crime. Chief Wiles is also well-recognized as a figure across Michigan law enforcement. Recently, he completed an outstanding term as president of the Michigan Association of Chiefs of Police. Chief Wiles has also served on the Governor's Traffic Safety Advisory Commission; and in March, Chief Wiles was appointed by Governor Whitmer to serve on the Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards where he will continue working to better the law enforcement profession and keep Michiganians safe. I personally thank Chief Wiles for his service to our community, for our work together on behalf of mid-Michigan. Grand Blanc Township has been blessed by his presence, and I congratulate him on his retirement. ____________________
