MACOMB (WGEM) - The Macomb Police Department is fundraising for its K-9 program. Right now, MPD is selling Tumbler thermos cups that feature K-9 Jax. Chief Jeff Hamer said they don’t have any immediate needs right now, but when they do, they want to be able to respond quickly. ”If you remember the success of K-9 Mac’s fundraisers, when Mac was able to retire, we were able to get K-9 Jax in just right behind him, so there was no gap in service,” Hamer said.

MACOMB (WGEM) - An effort to get more women into the law enforcement profession is seeing success. For the last two years, the Macomb Police Department has participated in the Department of Justice’s 30x30 program, which aims to have female officers occupy at least 30% of an agency’s officer staff by 2030. Currently, there are 24 total officers at MPD, seven of which are female. This puts Macomb at less than 1% away from completing the DOJ’s initiative.
