Check-in was quick and easy, and I was called back within about 15 minutes of my appointment time. The employee assisting me was professional and helpful, and my business was completed so quickly that I was out the door about 10 minutes later. Highly recommend making an appointment! If you make an appointment ahead of time and come prepared, the process can be much easier than you might expect.

Regarding the Clawson Police Department:…read more the only requirment to work here is a GED, and unfortunately, it is quite apparent. almost every single day in the years since I have lived here, I watch people drive through our residential neighborhoods at 35+ mph. my family, my dog, and I have almost been hit by wreckless drivers several times crossing 25 mph roads. The Clawson Facebook group is full of citizens with dreadfully similar experiences. meanwhile, I have never seen any traffic enforcement in any residential neighborhood of our 2 mile city. what I have seen, regrettably, is - officer's complain and whine to concerned citizens about having to deal with a runaway dog in below 0 temps (DPW handled it, wihout complaint). The type of person who bemoans helping a lost freezing dog, is not someone I trust to protect and serve. - officer's harrass a minority for a broken taillight and conduct an unwarranted and unconstitutional search (that resulted in nothing, wasting everyone's time and money, and fostering unproductive police-citizen interactions). When asked what probable cause existed, in defense of this indivudal, officer's retorted with "where is your law degree from?" I am curious where any of Clawson's officer's degrees are from? High school diplomas don't count. The type of individuals who resort to personal attacks when their authority is even slightly questioned, are not people I trust to protect and serve. - the department frivously spend citizen's money (including 15k a year Flock contract that the department repeatedly refused to make public, and a new 100k pick up truck). The type of individuals who are poor stewards of their communities tax dollars, are not people I trust to protect and serve. - the department turn off Google review's to silence citizen's feedback. The type of indivudals who would rather muffle constructive commentary and feedback, than allow for valid conversation, are not people I trust to protect and serve. - most recently, an officer quit their job quite literally the second the city council refused to renew a Flock contract to allow officer's to unconstituionally stalk and survey citizens. The type of indivudal who quits their job because they can't use AI to do it for them, is not someone I trust to protect and serve. I hope the department is willing to make changes to actually instill trust and serve the community in meaningful, additive, and not punitive, ways.

I have lived in Clawson for over 25 years. The city services have always been first rate. The city…read moreprovides many family appropriate activities. The reason I feel compelled to write a review; however , is due to a recent conundrum I needed help with. My son needed temporary office space and asked me to look around because he was out of state. I wasn't sure what to do. So, I emailed the city and asked if they were aware of anything available . Less than an hour later, I heard from the mayor offering her assistance. The next morning I heard from a member of the city council offering help. I then heard from the economic director. In fact, the economic director followed up later to make sure he had settled on an office and happy with it. That to me is amazing service from a city. I do not know of any other city that would be so helpful. It's good to live in a small city.

This is the South Oakland County Office Building for Oakland County government functions. The…read morereason for my visit was to check out some of the benefit programs available for military veterans at the Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency MVAA. There are a whole array of benefits offered by the State of Michigan including financial services, medical benefits, help finding employment, and other assistance programs. There are VA-backed loan programs that, if you qualify, can be arranged with any bank that offers this program. The loans are not directly from the VA but are through a regular bank and backed by the VA. If you are or know a veteran who may be in need, let them know about this location and the services that are available. Call for an appointment; some advisors are here Mondays and Wednesday's and operate out of a Southfield office on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

I was living in Troy previously, which has a decent library, and I used to work at the WB library a while back, so I'm a bit of a library "snob," to preface this review. The Blair/Clawson library is small but nice. The hours are a bit crazy (they're only open certain days, and I believe in the summer they're actually closed the entire weekend) but they're open Saturdays, which is fine for me. I've been here two or three times now and each time, service was fast (picking up a book on hold, and checking it out). The library is small but it seems to have a decent collection of books. I did see DVDs were $1 per week, I believe, so I'll stick to my own collection + Netflix for that. Overall, cute little library. I appreciate the easy parking situation, as well (they have their own lot).
