Welcome Officer Scott Olney

Scot Olney is the Police Department’s newest full time officer.  Scot has taken the place of Logan McIntyre who moved on to a job in the Grand Rapids area which was much closer to home for him.  Scott has been a police officer for over twenty years and has vast experience, he started his career with the Michigan State Police and worked out of the New Buffalo Post for his first assignment.  After his career with the State Police, Scot went on to work as a Sheriff’s Deputy and a small town police chief.  Scot’s experience will be a great asset to our community and we are thrilled to have him working for us here in New Buffalo.
