Waterford trustees approve interlocal agreement with Oakland County Sheriff's Office
Summary
The Waterford Township Board voted to approve an interlocal agreement with the Oakland County Sheriff's Office and the township police department to formalize shared services and response coordination.
The Waterford Township Board of Trustees voted unanimously on May 12 to approve an interlocal agreement between Waterford Township, the Waterford Township Police Department and the Oakland County Sheriff's Office.
The trustees approved a motion to adopt the agreement after public and trustee discussion; the roll call recorded unanimous support.
Why it matters: Board trustees said the agreement formalizes cooperative services, including access to specialized units and resources. At the public‑comment period, a resident who identified himself as Tyler described prior water‑rescue coordination challenges and praised the Oakland County Sheriff's Special Services Response Team (SSRT) facilities and equipment, saying his experience informed support for joint operations.
The board did not attach new funding or specific operational terms during the May 12 vote; the motion approved the interlocal agreement document itself and will be implemented under the terms of the contract.
The board conducted a roll call vote; the meeting minutes record the motion as approved by all voting trustees.
