The Dundee Police Department is pleased to honor and recognize the 2021-2022 Volunteers in Police Service (VIPS) Volunteer of the Year, Jeremy Downard of Tecumseh, MI.
Jeremy has volunteered nearly 200 hours during the past year helping the department with staffing needs at community events including; downtown parades, shop-with-a-cop, the VIPS golf outing and many other events and tasks performed by our volunteers.
Jeremy is employed full time as the Business Administrator for the Tracker Marine Boating Center at Cabela's, where he has worked for the past 16 years. Jeremy has also worked in the gun department and loss prevention at Cabela's. It was while working loss prevention at the store, that he began to meet many of the Dundee police officers who responded to the store or had simply stopped in to walk through. When he was asked to consider joining the VIPS Team in 2020, Jeremy immediately accepted and has been a real asset to our team in helping the department with its community policing needs. Congratulations Jeremy and thank you for all you do!
If you have an interest in the Dundee community and would like to learn how to become a VIP, please email Officer Chris McGlynn at cmcglynn@villageofdundee.net or Lt. Randy Sehl at rsehl@villageofdundee.net for more information.
