Bloomfield Township Police Department names new community relations officer

BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP — Bloomfield Township police Officer Heather Glowacz was recently named the Bloomfield Township Police Department’s new community relations officer.

Glowacz said she feels honored to take on the role, which was previously held by Officer Nick Soley.

“My whole career I’ve really enjoyed being with people out in the community and knowing this department had a dedicated role was very exciting when I applied,” she said in a statement.

“I look forward to continue strengthening the bonds between police, public, media, and community organizations that my predecessor Officer Nick Soley developed.”

Glowacz graduated from Wayne State University with a degree in kinesiology before acquiring her Post-Bachelor Forensic Investigation certificate. She graduated from the police academy in 2013 and joined the Bloomfield Township Police Department in 2021. 

“My job is to bridge the gap between the police department and the community,” Officer Glowacz said in a statement. 

In a statement, Chief James Gallagher said the department is excited for Glowacz to become the next community relations officer. 

“She was selected for this role because of her ability to build and foster relationships within our community, her communication skills, and positive attitude,” he said in a statement. 

“Her skillset as a Field Training Officer, Defensive Tactic Instructor, Drug Recognition Expert, and veteran patrol officer will benefit our community programs. Heather puts a friendly, approachable face to the uniform and we are confident she will be successful in her new role.”
