The two-man police department in this rural community outside Flint has amassed a massive amount of surplus military equipment over the last decade.
The free material, received through a federal program, includes mine detectors and Humvees, tractors and backhoes, hydroseeders and forklifts, motorized carts and a riding lawnmower. The landlocked township also has gotten boat motors and dive boots.
While much of the gear worth $1 million has never been used by the township, some has been given to residents, township officials said.
The township supervisor and a trustee said the police have stymied their attempts to find out what equipment they have, where its located and why some of it has been given away. The police didnt keep track of what they had or what they had given away, according to a township audit last year.
In response to the audit, Police Chief Bob Kenny compiled an inventory that showed the police had 950 pieces of equipment, which were located at six public and private properties in and outside the township.
But nearly a third of the items, 314, were listed as off-site, without giving a specific location, according to the inventory.
