Over many years of visiting the township offices for many of the services listed above and others everyone we have dealt with has been first of all professional and knowledgeable about there area. They also seem to be interested in helping you with your issues, something that is usually hard to fake and is rare in most government employees around the country today. We live in one of the best communities in one of the best areas in the country and, in large part that is because of our local government professionals. We get many useful services from our township for the property taxes we pay.

He was always great and my son remembers it. Thank you for that! To this day my son still remembers you. Moreover, Officer Josh aka "Caesar" is also great. He deals with me being a rascal and I appreciate his approach and kindness. He has helped me with scary domestic situations and I can not tell you enough how much he helped with the calm down of these situations. Our family feels alot safer because of the Walled Lake Police Department's due diligence in responding to us during those scary moments of fear. We finally have our cameras installed and our family is grateful for all your services! I salute you boys in blue!!!!!

I made an appointment on the website since they're open late on Wednesdays and went to this branch since it's close to home for me. I will say, it went a lot better than expected and the staff moved quickly with efficiency. lobby area is clean, staff is friendly and the lady that helped me was awesome. The location isn't huge, but was nice and seemed to be in good working order. They want you to check in but to be honest, there wasn't anyone at the booth when you came in, and no signs telling me where else to go. I figured this out after I saw another guy go to the window off in the corner and check in there. My appointment was for 5:40, but didn't get to the counter until about 5:50. They did tell me to arrive 10 minutes prior to my appointment, so I got there at 5:30. Probably one of the better experiences I've had. Not sure if the state of Michigan's gotten better or this locations just awesome, but after about 40 plus minutes, I was done. Once I was at the counter it was smooth sailing.

This is to accurately reflect my evaluation of the Farmington City PD, as opposed to the Farmington…read moreHills PD. The recent review I posted was in the wrong place, in part because there were a # of distractions in the Library, and I discovered it just a few minutes before they closed. Here's the real deal. I've had just one Police intervention from the Farmington Police since I moved here in June of 2023. I don't recall all the factors, but, having had my original Escape taken by the Township Police on June 28th of 2023, I had to buy another one, which is a 2020 Escape. I was driving it on 9-Mile nr Farmington, and had a temporary Plate Sticker, which I believe was expired, since the new Plate hadn't arrived on time. I found from the Secretary of State, that it went to my old address at Swan Harbour Apts., in Northville, by mistake, and apparently the Manager there took it, and kept it. Anyway, the Farmington PD Officer spoke to me courteously, and I explained that some dirty things had previously been done by Huntington Mgmt. at Swan Harbour Apts. in Northville. I asked him to tell me what the LEIN System showed about my Driving Record, and told him that a 2nd Plate was to be shipped to my correct address. He courteously accepted my statement, and told me what the LEIN System had on file. All in all, he spoke and acted professionally, and having experienced a fair amount of Police and Management Company misconduct in the years before, including June 28, this was a welcome return to normality in my world! Here's hoping that any future interactions with Farmington Police follow the same pattern!

A couple days ago two policemen came when I called 911. I described the voice of the resident, and…read moreonly knew one person with that distinctive voice. They should have either arrested him, or brought him in for questioning. Nothing was done about it. They left without giving me a card so I couldn't name them. I called today and spoke to the Police Chief, described my issues. Almost minutes after I hung up the phone 2 police, Officer Holden, badge 507and Mostek Badge, 496, arrived, took a report, helped me with my issues. Were extremely helpful, answered all of my questions, the Police chief said an investigator will look into it. My second experience was so good, that I hurried to recommend these officers. I'm hoping to get my computer here soon, so my recommendation, can be filed for future reference. I also couldn't believe his smart they were. I would recommend these officers either are promoted to Investigators, or they could at least be a trainer and give on services on all the mistakes the first set of officers made.

Let's be honest: nobody likes going to the Secretary of State. (If you're a follower in a part of…read morethe country where there's no SoS it's the equivalent of the DMV.) On a good day it still probably only racks up 2 stars from me. That's apart from the late, great SoS at Washington and Congress that somehow no-one knew about and I could always get in and out of. That place was a 4 star review at least, but I never would have reviewed it cause I didn't want the secret to get out. As it was it probably closed up to lack of business. I only went in to renew my tabs yesterday, and was going to give one of those computerized kiosks where you can just do it yourself a whirl for the first time, but when I walked in I found a large cardboard stand up cruelly bearing the image of one of the kiosks, saying it had been relocated to a nearby Kroger. Well, I was already there, and the weather was lousy, the roads weren't great and it was only 9:15, a mere 15 minutes after opening. How bad could it be? I walked up to a touchscreen, put in my phone number and got a text saying there was 48 people in front of me. I inwardly groaned, but I've waited in queues longer than that at these places; at least I could sit down and mess around on my phone. I figured it might be an hour. It ended up being two hours before they got to me. You can now make appointments and for awhile it seemed like only appointments were being called up while us walk-ins languished. At one point a guy in the row ahead of me started loudly protesting this. At another I got a text saying there were 10 people ahead of me. This would have been good news had I not received an identical text 15 minutes prior with the exact same message! A quarter hour later and I get that non-update. No progress whatsoever. That appointment stuff was really a drag. It's like if you went to Cedar Point and the ratio of Fast Lane people to regular ol peasants was way skewed and only Fast Lane people seemed to be getting on the roller coasters. A couple times the lady next to me said she should gave gone to "that other Secretary of State". I didn't bother asking which one, but maybe I should have. I feel like the one by my parents condo at Metro Parkway and Gratiot gets comparable crowds and eats through them a lot quicker. When I finally got up to the counter I do have to say service was fast and friendly. So don't think this one star stink bomb is aimed at the long suffering clerks who have to deal with an endless succession of cranky people. It's this understaffed, annoying bureaucratic government institution I resent. I guess next time I know to make an appointment or go to Kroger.
