For the first time in more than 30 years, the city experienced no fatal accidents, Chuck Nebus told city council members Monday.
Farmington Hills Police Chief Chuck Nebus told city officials Monday that in 2012, for the first time in 34 years, no one died as the result of a vehicle accident on city roads. While delivering his department's 2012 annual report, Nebus called that an "amazing statistic". "In the 1980s and 1990s, some years, we had 10 to 15," he added. Passage of a 2011 public safety millage allowed the department to replace all 14 employees who retired in recent years, something put on hold as the city dealt with tighter budgets. Nebus said traffic offenses were up 53 percent last year, due to the larger number of officers on the street. Drug complaints rose more than 40 percent, driven by the state's new medical marijuana law, and an increasing number…
