Gregory Bazick to be Named Deputy Chief of Saline Police Department

In a press release issued Monday, the City of Saline announced the selection of Gregory Bazick as its new Deputy Chief of Police. Bazick retired from the Ann Arbor Police Department as Deputy Chief in 2016.

Saline City Council has not yet approved the hiring of Bazick and that issue is not currently listed on council's online agenda.

Residents are invited to attend a swearing-in ceremony for Chief Marlene Radzik and Deputy Chief Gregory Bazick at 6:30 p.m., April 4 in the city council chambers.

Below is the press release from the city.

The City of Saline invites area residents, business owners, and other community stakeholders to a reception & swearing-in ceremony for Police Chief Marlene Radzik, and the City’s soon to be appointed Deputy Police Chief, Gregory Bazick.

“Marlene and Greg are well experienced, seasoned, law enforcement professionals,” said Mayor Brian Marl. “I’m excited by the prospect of their leadership of our local Police Department – I am confident that they will accomplish great things.”

As your Chief of Police, I embrace the opportunity to lead our police department, and be instrumental in providing excellent customer service for community members, business owners and individuals visiting our city.”
