DEARBORN, MI – The Dearborn Police Department and City of Dearborn honored two Dearborn residents for their honorable actions resulting in the prevention of crime in the city.
Residents Douglas Berry and Ahmed Adam were recognized with Civilian Commendations for their help in apprehending three suspects. Berry and his son, Patrick, were at the Dearborn Amtrak station on Saturday, Sept. 7, because Patrick, who is autistic, loves trains. Berry saw a man acting suspicious near the back of the police station, and called police. Police arrested the man, who was armed, without further incident.
