Last Weekend For Pontiac Police Department

PONTIAC (WWJ) - UPDATE: Pontiac Policing Plan Delayed

Just two days to go until the Pontiac Police Department shuts down and the Oakland County Sheriff's Office is put in charge.

Despite two judges' opinions this week siding with Pontiac's police union, members voted 35 to 5 to close.

Union officers are hoping the consolidation will allow them to keep their pension and retiree health coverage.

Pontiac's Emergency Financial Manager said this change will allow the city to receive revenue-sharing dollars from Lansing.
