The Romulus Police Department recently celebrated the induction of two new officers and the promotion of veteran officer Keith Haynes to the rank of sergeant. Police Chief Robert Pfannes and Deputy Chief Derran Shelby were on hand as officers recited the oath of service to the community. The department has hired seven new officers this year following approval last fall of a public safety millage by more than 70 percent of voters. The department responded to 22,239 calls for service last year and made 748 arrests and issued 5,193 citations. According to Mayor Robert McCraight, the crime rate is dropping in the city and 80 percent of violent crimes in the city are committed by non-residents.
