Late Ann Arbor Police Chief William Corbett was a cop's cop
He strode down the hall with quiet purpose. When he passed you, if you were new like me, he’d say in his deep authoritative voice, “Hi, how ya doin’?” There was never any doubt who was in charge of the Ann Arbor Police Department when William J. Corbett was chief.
Chief Corbett may have been walking down the hall to get a cup of coffee or to use to the restroom, but this man epitomized command bearing.
Chief Corbett was, as one of my colleagues commented on the report of his death , "a cop’s cop." He rose from the ranks of patrolman to commander at the Detroit Police Department in the 26 years he was there. He joined the Ann Arbor Police Department in 1980.
I had the honor and privilege to serve with him from 1982 until he left the Ann Arbor Police Department in 1990 bound for Port Huron.
Chief Corbett lead from the front and I always felt that there was nothing that he would ask me to do that he would not do himself. I have heard stories of "a man with a gun call" during which, as chief, he arrived, took off his hat and was the first through the door. I do not care who you are or how well prepared you are, when you go through a door and you know there is someone on the other side with a gun even the stoutest heart goes pitter patter. It’s called guts and courage and Chief Corbett had them.At age 50, when most senior command are content with an office chair and a cup of coffee while they shuffle paper, Chief Corbett decided to go to SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactics) School. This training is physically and mentally demanding on the mid-20’s and early 30’s aged officers that it was designed for, but he went through at age 50! Oh yeah he was tough.
I remember one morning, after a homicide, the midnight shift I was working was held over. Chief Corbett briefed us. He announced that he and the major in charge of the Detective Bureau would be right there with us searching through a woods for evidence. The Detective Bureau major dressed in a sharp light gray suit did a double-take at Chief Corbett as if to say, “You gotta be kidding.”
An hour later, as we slogged through thick briers, there was Chief Corbett and the major in an overcoat and rubber boots slogging through with us. To a cold, wet, tired midnight shift that was inspiring.
The chief was always immaculate in his uniform and in great shape. Chief Corbett demanded his officers look sharp in their uniforms too. In Chief Corbett’s department everyone dressed in the same class A wool uniforms. At that time I was not so thrilled, for on hot days like today when I’d walk from the station to my beat on the University of Michigan Diag, the sweat would already be dripping down the back of my bullet resistant vest into my underwear by the time I got to State Street. The Ann Arbor Police Department looked sharp though.
