Subscribe at:    / @heroesnextdoor  

Join Mike as he travels solo to Michigan to explore one of the most unique public safety stations yet: East Grand Rapids Public Safety. This station is not just a police department or a fire department—it’s both, combined into one! Covering 3.5 square miles and serving 12,000 residents, this small but mighty department is ready for anything.

With staff on duty 24/7, including up staffing at night, East Grand Rapids Public Safety is prepared to respond to any 911 emergency. Whether you need a police officer, a firefighter, or an EMS provider, they've got you covered. Their skill and training stand out among the best in the country.

If your area has been struggling to recruit or retain personnel, this combined model might be the solution to your problems. Take a look and let us know what you think—it might just be the perfect fit for your community.

A special thank you to Safety Officer Troy Brown and Director Ric Buickema for allowing full access to their elite team and for encouraging others to keep moving forward.
