David  Birkholtz

Experience:
1997 Inductee

Award:
George Wibby Award


If one picked a descriptive title to characterize Dave Birkholtz, it might just be "Dedicated Peace Officer." For over 16 years Dave has served the Oakland University community as an OU police officer. During that time he has received a life-saving award in 1994 and a Department Commendation for investigative police work in 1995. In addition, Dave has been elected president of the Patrol Officers Union.

In terms of service to OU athletics, Dave organizes the Police Golf Scramble which provides annual support to OU's outstanding men's golf program. This one day outing, held each year, brings together many outstanding individuals who might otherwise not participate in a university function. Dave's efforts and those of his fellow officers, reflect the highest level of community spirit and service and is duly recognized through the Wibby Award.
