WCC Public Safety chief appointed to chair county-wide association

Washtenaw Community College Chief of Public Safety Scott Hilden has been appointed chair of the Washtenaw County Criminal Justice Association for 2021.

The county-wide association brings together 31 county organizations – local, state and federal law enforcement agencies; correctional facilities; courts and others in the criminal justice community – to promote inter-agency coordination and cooperation.

“It is a pleasure for me to be part of this great group of professionals who are doing their absolute best to provide the highest level of service to the communities and the county in which we all serve,” Hilden said.

Hilden said the association exists primarily to improve communication and collaboration between the partners and to identify potential problems and discuss interdisciplinary solutions. The goal of both roles is to provide the best possible level of service to communities within Washtenaw County and to ensure the fair and equal treatment of all people served.

Hilden joined the WCC Public Safety Department in November 2016 after a 24-year career with the Canton Township Police Department, the last three as its Deputy Chief.
