Bloomfield Township Police Department named Officer Heather Glowacz its new Community Relations Officer in September. She graduated from Wayne State University with a Kinesiology degree before acquiring her Post-Bachelor Forensic Investigation Certificate. She graduated from the police academy in 2013 and joined BTPD in 2021. “My job is to bridge the gap between the police department and the community,” says Officer Glowacz of her new role.
“We are excited for Heather to become our next Community Relations Officer,” said Chief James Gallagher. “She was selected for this role because of her ability to build and foster relationships within our community, her communication skills, and positive attitude. Her skillset as a Field Training Officer, Defensive Tactic Instructor, Drug Recognition Expert, and veteran patrol officer will benefit our community programs. Heather puts a friendly, approachable face to the uniform and we are confident she will be successful in her new role.”
Officer Glowacz feels honored to take on the role. “My whole career I’ve really enjoyed being with people out in the community and knowing this department had a dedicated role was
very exciting when I applied,” she said. “I look forward to continue strengthening the bonds between police, public, media, and community organizations that my predecessor Officer Nick Soley developed.”
Residents are likely to find her out and about in the community. To inquire about a visit from the Community Relations Officer to your homeowners’ association meeting or community event contact cro@bloomfieldtwp.org.
