GRAND HAVEN, Mich. — Less than two weeks after dropping out of contention for the Muskegon police chief job, Grand Haven’s top cop has signed an agreement to keep working in Coast Guard City USA.
Jeff Hawke has signed an agreement that will keep him as the Director of Public Safety in Grand Haven through Dec. 31, 2024. It’s a position he has held since 2012. Before that, he served as a police officer in Cadillac.
The Grand Haven City Council approved the agreement at their meeting on Monday, April 11 and called it good news for Grand Haven.
Hawke was one of two finalists for the job in Muskegon before removing his name from contention on March 29. Muskegon offered the position to sole candidate Vincent Acevez, who turned the role down last week.
