The Eaton County Sheriffs Office is now operating a satellite station from the Olivet College campus. According to Sheriff Mike Raines, the new station allows the department to have a stronger presence in the southwest corner of Eaton County, while giving the college and community further access to its deputies.

Along with our community partners at Olivet College, we are proud to announce the opening of our satellite office, said Raines. With the opening of this office, deputies will have closer access to this local area during their shift. Deputies will be better able to respond to calls for service in Olivet, aid in college training efforts for their budding law enforcement program and expedite service response on behalf of the sheriffs office.

Olivet Colleges Office of Student Life and Campus Safety worked to provide a space for the station in MacKay Gymnasium. The station will function as a regular branch of the Eaton County Sheriffs Office, with deputies taking calls from all areas of the county.

Deputies Jeremy Brown and Aaron Roberts will be working full-time from the satellite office. They will operate independently from the colleges Campus Safety office and Olivet Police Department, while enhancing the current public safety presence and fostering community relationships.

For more information, call Phil Reed, director of Campus Safety, at (269) 749-7142.
