Sean Gunnery is nearly finished with his field training in Grosse Pointe Shores. He started with the public safety department in April after retiring from Harper Woods in March.
The former Harper Woods Fire Chief recently joined the public safety department of Grosse Pointe Shores. Sean Gunnery, 47, of Richmond, retired from Harper Woods Fire Department in March after eight years as the chief.

Gunnery completed the police academy in 2010 in …
