These personnel provide a full range of services including patrol operations, investigations, school-based policing, supervision, and administrative support.

While the facility is Township-owned, all personnel, police equipment, and vehicles are currently provided, owned, and maintained by the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office under the existing contract.

Over the period from 2020 through 2026, millage revenues have increased overall while expenditures have also increased, resulting in fluctuations in annual surpluses and highlighting the importance of evaluating long-term financial sustainability. **Solicitation Type**: RFP - Request for Proposal (Formal) **Source ID**: PU.AG.USA.2335.C12211451 **Piggyback Contract**: No **Question Acceptance Deadline**: 06/12/2026 04:30 PM EDT **Questions are submitted online**: No **Bid Submission Type**: Physical Bid Submission **Additional Bidding Instructions**: Sealed Proposals: Bidders will submit one (1) original, one (1) copy, and one (1) electronic copy on a USB flash drive to the following address: The Charter Township of Orion Clerk’s Office Law Enforcement Feasibility Study 2323 Joslyn Rd.
