I’d like to take this opportunity to offer congratulations to South Lyon Police Chief Chris Sovik on his retirement from the SLPD. Chief Sovik has been a positive leader in our community and a supporter of our schools. We wish him the best on his retirement. We also congratulate Chief Doug Baaki on being named the new SLPD Chief of Police who has a history of distinguished service in our community. We look forward to continuing our positive working relationship with Chief Baaki and the other fine members of the SLPD.
