🚨 Vote YES on May 6, 2025 — Support Pittsfield Township Public Safety! 🚨

The Public Safety Millage is essential to maintaining the police, fire, and emergency services that protect our community every day. Renewal of this millage ensures we can:

✅ Maintain existing services
✅ Provide critical safety equipment and training
✅ Address crime prevention, traffic concerns, fire risks, and mental health crises
✅ Replace vital emergency response equipment
✅ Continue improving education, deployment, and enforcement strategies

Millage revenue makes up 45.8% of our Department of Public Safety’s budget — it is crucial for meeting today’s needs and preparing for tomorrow’s challenges. Without it, response times and service quality could be at risk.

🗳️ There’s still time to request an Absent Voter Ballot at the Clerk’s Office! Make your plan to vote and help keep Pittsfield Township safe and strong.

Vote YES for Public Safety on May 6!

This week, we had the great honor and privilege to celebrate the retirement of Firefighter Will Graham.

Will began his 25-year career with the Pittsfield Township Fire Department in 2000 as a Paid-on-Call firefighter and was hired full-time in 2004. Over the past two and a half decades, he has proudly and selflessly served the residents of Pittsfield Township with professionalism, courage, and heart.

Thank you, Will, for your commitment, leadership, and brotherhood over the past 25 years.

Enjoy your retirement, Will. We've got it from here!
