12/18/13 - Nine members of the Hamburg Township Police Department were recognized for going above and beyond the call of duty over the past year during last night's meeting of the township board. Each year, the department recognizes those in its ranks who have done particularly outstanding jobs in specific cases. Sgt. Megan Paul received two Lifesaving Awards- one was for saving a 56-year-old man in March, and the other was shared with Officers Clint Pace and Daniel Bromley for their efforts to save a 38-year old woman in February. Officer Matt Duhaime also received a Lifesaving Award for his quick action earlier this month to save a three-year-old boy from choking. Other awards were presented as well for efforts in investigating crimes, apprehending suspects, or handling the Michigan State Police LEIN audit. Township Supervisor Pat Hohl told the department that their dedication and skill has led Hamburg to be named by the FBI as the safest community with more than 20,000 residents in the state of Michigan.
