In the Spring of 2001, Pere Marquette Township and the Michigan State Police worked together  to  establish a State Police satellite office in the Township Fire Department building.  This office, which is sub-station of the Hart MSP Post, provides the Troopers with a convenient location within Mason County to hold interviews and meetings, complete reports, and conduct other business.  The arrangement saves both time and costs for the Troopers as well as providing more efficient State Police coverage for Mason County.
