March is National Reading Month, and Dearborn's police department wasn't going to let that go unnoticed.
On Tuesday afternoon, nine officers from the department's East and West Border Crime Units came together to read to students at Salina Elementary. Officers read such books as Pirates Go To School, You With Me and The Brand New Kid to kindergarten through third grade classes–and even took the time to answer some questions about their jobs fighting crime in Dearborn.
The officers that participated included Sgt. Issa Shahin, Sgt. Dave Marshall, Cpl. Russ Faith, Cpl. Chris Taite, Cpl. Duane Niedzwiecki, Cpl. Lee Willmuth, Cpl. William Anhut, Cpl. Chad Macdonald and Ofc. Matt York.

I KNOW THE DEARBORN POLICE LOVE CHILDREN. AND ONE WAY IS TO PROTECT THIER SAFETY. SCHOOL WILL BE OUT IN A FEW MONTHS. AND THE WAY PEOPLE SPEED ON RESIDENTIAL STREETS IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME SOME OF THEM WILL BE INJURED OR KILLED BY SPEEDERS IF THE POLICE PUT A CAR ON BOLDT ST, FACING PRINCETON THEY COULD MORE THAN COVER THIER PAYROLL FOR THE DAY. THE SPEED LIMIT ON REIDENTIAL STREETS IS 25 MPH, I SEE THEM DOING 50 MPH OR BETTER. AND I FOR ONE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM SLOW DOWN FOR SAFTY SAKE
