A2: Police

The Detroit News reports that police recruiters from Anchorage will be in Ann Arbor next week, hoping to entice officers to move. They’re targeting towns like Ann Arbor, where layoffs are possible, according to the article. Says James A. Tignanelli, president of the Police Officers Association of Michigan:  ”I don’t think guys are going to be considering Alaska just because they are really into hunting or Fort Lauderdale because they like beaches. They are going to take those jobs because they think they’d better go. If you are 10, maybe even 30 from the bottom of the seniority list in a place like Ann Arbor, you’re looking.” [Source]
