Happy Holidays from the staff at Bloomfield Township! Our offices will be closed on Christmas Day and New Year's Day, as well as December 21. Emergency services will not be affected during this season.

Season's Greetings from the Priority Waste team! As we embrace the festive spirit, we're greeted with not only gifts and decorations but also the perennial question of what can be recycled.

On December 18, the Bloomfield Township Fire Department (BTFD) presented a check to the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). Stacey Breitlow, Account Manager Fire Fighter Partnerships, was present to accept on behalf of the organization.

Looking for some holiday cheer? Check out this joyous performance from The Birmingham Musicale from December 14. Entitled "Music to Warm a Wintry Day," it's certain make your "spirits bright."

Now you can listen to a variety of BCTV podcasts on many platforms. Tune in!

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a form of depression that is connected to changes of season. SAD tends to appear and dissipate at about the same times every year. Typically, symptoms start in the fall and continue into the winter months.

People with SAD tend to feel a drain in energy that leads to increased moodiness. Symptoms can be resolved by the spring or early in the summer months. It is also possible for SAD to continue to linger into the following winter.

This holiday season, the Bloomfield Township Police Department would like to provide some tips to get ready for the sudden influx of packages at your front door:

• If possible, monitor your front porch with a security cam or video doorbell
• Give the delivery service special instructions
• Use a package delivery box or an Amazon pickup location
• Keep tabs on your packages by signing up for email/text alerts
• ALWAYS require a signature

Nothing worse than spending good money and being the victim of preventable theft.

Never leave items of value inside your vehicle, especially in plain sight. This can be during holiday shopping in public or in your driveway overnight. Always lock your vehicles, and never leave the keys inside.

And if you are planning on going away during this holiday season or in the future, please make sure to complete a Vacation Notification so that BTPD officers can periodically check in on the exterior of your residence.



Any non-emergency questions? Please call 248-433-7755.

Let’s be merry and vigilant this holiday season.

This Holiday Season, the Bloomfield Township Police Department would like to remind you about the importance of celebrating safely. Impaired driving, either under the influence of alcohol or drugs, is the number one cause of death on our roadways.  

The Bloomfield Township Road Division is committed to keeping our streets clear and safe. The Township is divided into twelve different areas and snowplows systematically work toward each other until the job is done.

Whether you are on the absentee application list or on the absentee ballot list, this December the Bloomfield Township Clerk’s Office will mail you a form to complete.
