5 Northville officers awarded state medal of valor honor

    Five Northville Township police officers have been honored with the prestigious Medal of Valor by the Michigan Association of Chiefs of Police for their extraordinary bravery and dedication. The officers entered a burning apartment building to ensure the safety of residents last November during a blaze at a local apartment building.
    The Medal of Valor is a testament to their selflessness and commitment to protecting our community under the most challenging circumstances, a spokesman noted. Honored for their exemplary heroism were Lt. Chris Rowley; Sgt. Todd Seipenko; Ofc. Jennifer Johnson; Ofc. Mark Foster and Ofc. Andrew Prieskorn.
    “Their bravery demonstrates the highest standards of law enforcement, and we are incredibly proud to have such exemplary individuals serving our community,” noted a police department spokesman.
