Max’s Vault is available
The Northville Township Police Department is once again helping keep “porch pirates” at bay this holiday season with Operation Max’s Vault — named for four-legged police Therapy Dog Max.
Township residents can have packages shipped to the Northville Township Police Department for safe keeping in Max’s Vault through Jan. 1, 2026. Packages should be addressed with the recipient’s name, c/0 Max’s Vault, 40911 Seven Mile Road, Northville, Mi 48167.
Packages should be retrieved within five days of delivery, officials said. This free program has become a community favorite providing safe shipping during the holiday season, officials said.
