This is the Beaver Island Governmental Building which is home to the Charlevoix County Sheriff's Department Sub-station, Beaver Island EMS, Beaver Island Youth Consortium, St. James Township Supervisor and the Accessor. The building was originally built as the first Medical Center on the island.. As a part of Charlevoix County, the deputy has all the tools at his disposal that mainland law enforcement officers would have. Contrary to what some people say, yes... we do have to have valid license plates on our cars and, yes... the laws of the State of Michigan DO apply to us too. At the present time the island's year around law enforcement officer is Deputy Jake Wasylewski and during the summer months a part-time deputy is also stationed on the island to help. The Michigan State Police visit the island from time to time. The right side of the building contains the ambulance garage.
