Novi Police Station Facility Tour- April 10th, 2022
Our volunteers had a great learning experience on April 10th, 2022 attending the Novi Police Station tour.
We had more than 20 volunteers, and everyone loved this experience of visiting a police station, touring their facility, and learning more about how they function.
It was a great pleasure meeting Sergeant Mark Boody & he was very kind and courteous to all of us, making us feel very comfortable.
All our youth volunteers had some fun trying their gears & took a look inside their police officers' patrol cars. They were also curious to know all those various technical gadgets they use daily.
It was a great educational tour for the teens to learn about cyber-crimes and how to be vigilant. In addition, we all learned how the 911 officers operate & efficiently handle their daily crucial emergency calls. He also talked about different programs the kids can attend, such as the "Explore Youth" assistance programs, and more career options they can pursue.

Novi Police Officers Appreciation Lunch & 2nd Novi Police Station Facility Tour-May 8th, 2022
During the National Police Week from May 15th to 21, 2022, VT Seva Detroit hosted an Appreciation lunch for NOVI Police Department on May 8th, 2022. Like last year, VT Seva Detroit got an opportunity to visit Novi Police Department and extend our sincere gratitude by hosting an appreciation lunch along with a "Thank you" poster frame for their tireless hard work and endless selfless services to protect us all. This was a great opportunity to meet and thank them immensely personally. During our visit, we met Sgt. Boody, Officer Thibault and Cadet Officer Gacesa.
They were all very cordial and kind to us, appreciative of our efforts and the community services we do locally and globally. We had an excellent interaction with them in explaining VT Seva and all our activities in the Detroit branch.
Followed by our appreciation lunch, some of our VT Seva Detroit volunteers got another excellent opportunity to tour their facility and learn more about how the police department functions. This is our second police station tour this year, and we are very grateful to Sergeant Jenkinson for all his help in getting this scheduled for our Detroit Volunteers.
