Romulus Police retirements

During a recent luncheon, Romulus Police Corporals Dwayne DeCaires and Matthew Robertson said "goodbye" to police work and "hello" to retirement.

Both of these officers, who served our community for around 50 years combined, have been dedicated and committed public servants - and they will be greatly missed," said Romulus Mayor Alan Lambert.  "On behalf of all Romulus residents, I thank them for a job well done."

Corporal DeCaires worked in numerous assignments and units throughout his career and recently received a Departmental Life Saving Award for his outstanding efforts in rescuing a resident who had been overcome by carbon monoxide poisoining.

Corporal Robertson was a decorated officer who up until his retirement was a member of the Downriver Mutual Aid SWAT Team and also served as one of the Romulus Police Department's field training officers.  Click here to see full story.....
Romulus Library continues to expand programs and services

It was about a year ago that the Romulus Public Library withdrew from the Wayne County Library System to become a municipal library.  The move saved the city about $60,000, but also left some with the impression that the library was closed.

Just the opposite is true.  The library actually has expanded hours and, despite limited funding, the facility has continued to expand some programs and services for the residents of Romulus  and Huron Township.

At the same time in 2011, the city formed a Board of Directors to oversee the library and the Friends of the Library continue to assist with fundraising.

The $60,000 savings and fundraising led to the hiring of Patty Braden as director, the purchase of new books and DVD's and the expansion of library hours from two to four days a week.  Click here for more info....
Historic Romulus Memorial Cemetery is ready for upgrades

 Romulus Memorial Cemetery
When it comes to telling the history of Romulus, there may be no more important chapter than the Romulus Memorial Cemetery.

Located at Shook and Tobine roads, the cemetery is the final resting place of deceased armed forces heroes, political figures, public-safety officers, other well-known families and 180 years of Romulus residents.

The burial grounds date back to 1832.  That makes them older than Michigan, which would not earn statehood until five years later.  The cemetery is considered so important to the community that the property is dedicated as a historical landmark.  For the complete story click here.
