• Water rescue reported in Benzonia, per police log (recordpatriot.com) — Recent Benzie County Sheriff’s Office logs show multiple calls in Benzonia and Benzonia Township, from parking complaints and crashes to suspicious situations and disorderly person reports. The report, covering June 5–10, also details activity in nearby towns like Frankfort, Beulah, and Homestead Township, giving residents a snapshot of where deputies have been busiest. 
• County sponsors recruits as law enforcement hiring trends shift (recordpatriot.com) — Benzie County leaders meeting in Benzonia have agreed to sponsor two recruits through the Northwest Michigan College police academy, paving their way into full-time deputy roles. The move follows a growing statewide trend of departments pre-hiring cadets and helps the sheriff’s office prepare for retirements, including Undersheriff Greg Hubers’ planned departure in January.
