IMA Donates New Police Vehicles to the City of Highland Park and Wayne County Sheriffs’ Office
DETROIT and Highland Park, Mich. (PRWEB) May 17, 2016 -- Jim Comer, president and CEO of Integrated Manufacturing and Assembly (IMA), and his staff gathered with city and county officials to commemorate the company’s donation of two police vehicles to the City of Highland Park and the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office. A joint venture between Comer Holdings LLC and Lear Corporation that manufactures automotive seat assemblies within three manufacturing facilities located in Highland Park and the City of Detroit, IMA presented both vehicles during National Safety Week, in an effort to support public safety in the communities where company employees live and work. Highland Park Mayor Hubert Yopp and Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napoleon acknowledged the vehicle donation during the ceremonies.
“It’s a great day in Highland Park that we are receiving such a generous donation from IMA,” remarked Mayor Yopp. “This gift will certainly aid us in suppressing crime and continuing to do the things that our city needs to support our public safety. On behalf of Chief Chester Logan and the Police Department, the Fire department and everyone in this community, we are truly grateful.“
“We want to tell Highland Park that we are a part of the community and we plan to continue to find ways to give back to the community and the city,” said Comer. “IMA is committed to doing our best to bring the right attention to the city’s needs.”
Wayne County Police Sheriff Benny Napoleon commented: “On behalf of the department, we would like to thank IMA. Nearly every vehicle in our fleet has over 100,000 miles and some with as many as 300,000 miles of wear. One of the department’s biggest expenditures is transportation which the county hasn’t upgraded since prior to 2007. We really needed this so we thank you tremendously.”
“IMA wants you to know that we are involved and that we appreciate that protection and the service that we receive from the Wayne County Police Officers,” replied Comer.
