Meet Lt. Eric Hix and the Oakland County Sheriff's Substation in Commerce Township

Welcome to the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office Commerce Township Substation Web Page. The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office provides police services for the residents of Commerce Township.

My name is Eric Hix, and I am a Lieutenant with the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office. I serve as your Substation Commander and have worked at the Sheriff’s Office for 26 years. I began my road patrol career here in Commerce Twp back in 2006 and I am so happy to be back serving this community.

There are currently 41 employees assigned to the Commerce Township Substation. This number includes: 1 Lieutenant, 4 Sergeants, 3 Investigators, 1 Desk Officer, 1 Sheriff’s Administrative Specialist, 3 Liaison Officers for Walled Lake Schools, and 28 Deputies assigned to Patrol Duties.

Our Substation is located at 2019 Township Drive Suite #664 Commerce Township. Substation business hours are Monday through Friday; from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. After hours there is an outside emergency call button that will call dispatch, look for the blue light. Our non-emergency dispatch number is (248)-858-4950.      

Copies of incident reports may only be obtained from our Central Records Bureau located at 1201 N. Telegraph Road, Building 10E, Pontiac, MI.  

On behalf of Sheriff Michael J. Bouchard, I would like to thank you for taking the time to view this page. We are very happy to be part of this wonderful community, and our ongoing desire is to provide you with the best Law Enforcement services possible.
