City of Saline Honors Retiring Dispatcher Terry Seames

The City of Saline honored retiring dispatcher Terry Seames during Monday's Saline City Council meeting.

Mayor Brian Marl read a certificate of recognition, co-authored by the offices of the Police Chief and City Clerk, to honor Seames' long career in law enforcement.

Seames stood by his wife, former Saline Police Sergeant Bridget Seames, as Marl read from the certificate.

Seames spent 44 years protecting public safety in Saline, Ann Arbor and Chelsea. He began his law enforcement in campus security at the University of Michigan in 1976. He retired from the UofM in 2009.

He came to the Saline Police Department as a part-time officer and became a full-time dispatcher in 2014.

Marl said the city has benefited greatly from the service of Seames and added that Seames earned the respect and admiration of those he worked with.

Marl thanked Seames for his service and commended him for his outstanding performance as a police officer and dispatcher.

Seames made brief remarks after being presented the certificate by the mayor.

"I just want to thank the City of Saline, not only the administration here, but the entire supportive community. Nowhere else have I seen the support police officers get here," Seames said.
