Sumpter Township Police Captain Patrick Gannon was honored last month for his 30 years of service to the department and the community. A township resident since 1992, Gannon has been steadily promoted throughout his three decades with the Sumpter Police Department where he began his police career. His promotions have each included high praise for his work ethic and performance of his duties and service to the community. Gannon is a 1990 graduate of Western Michigan University where he earned his Bachelor of Science degree in criminal justice. He is also a 2014 graduate of the prestigious advanced training course of Eastern Michigan School of Police Staff and Command Executive Leadership Program. Sumpter Township Director of Public Safety/Police Chief Eric Luke and fellow officers celebrated Gannon's anniversary with congratulations, and chocolate cake.
