THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The Village of Mancelona Council approved a reorganization of the Police Department on June 9, 2026, appointing Michael Godfrey as Chief of Police and Jenn Seeley as Sergeant and School Resource Officer. This marks a leadership change and a formal shift in how the department and school safety functions will be managed going forward.
While no specific purchases are mentioned yet, new police leadership and the addition of a dedicated School Resource Officer typically drive reassessment of policing needs, school security, equipment, training, and reporting systems. Vendors offering public safety technology, SRO-focused training, body-worn cameras, records management, and school security solutions may find an upcoming window to engage as the new leadership evaluates operational gaps and priorities.
The council also approved the Police Report at the same meeting, suggesting ongoing operational oversight under the new structure.

A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
