WOMCT brings together the expertise of investigators from multiple jurisdictions in Southwest Oakland County in the event of a major crime where a single agency’s resources may not be enough. Wixom, Walled Lake, Wolverine Lake, Novi, South Lyon, and White Lake Township are among the many communities involved with WOMCT and who routinely share resources to enhance investigative services.

As the WOMCT Commander, Detective Sergeant Conquest will direct criminal investigations on behalf of the organization along with the investigator in charge from the agency with jurisdiction over the incident. In addition, Detective Sergeant Conquest will continue to coordinate monthly intelligence meetings between law enforcement personnel on the federal, state and local levels.

"I am privileged to have the opportunity to work with my colleagues from other agencies in such a capacity," said Conquest. "Sharing investigative resources strengthens the ability of each department and being able to lead such an organization on behalf of the City of Novi is truly an honor."

Detective Sergeant Conquest is a graduate of Ferris State University where he earned his Bachelors Degree in Criminal Justice. He is also a graduate of the Northwestern University School of Police Staff and Command. He joined the Novi Police Department in 1988 and served as a Uniform Patrol Officer until 1994 when he was promoted to the rank of sergeant. In 2004, he was reassigned to the General Services Division as a Detective Sergeant. Since that time, Detective Sergeant Conquest has been actively involved in managing a multitude of high profile criminal investigations.

"I am honored that Detective Sergeant Conquest was appointed to this position and I have every confidence he will take an active role in coordinating major case investigations which will assist our law enforcement partners," notes David E. Molloy, Chief of Police. "We have a proud tradition of assisting other agencies in times of need and this consortium is an extension of that tradition."
