The purpose of this report is to highlight the A accomplishments of the department and their continuous efforts to keep Lansing safe for our residents,businesses and visitors. I am pleased to report because of the diligent work of our Human Resources Director, Linda Sanchez-Gazella, and Chief Mike Yankowski, all police officer vacancies have been filled. There is a full complement of officers on the force who are dedicated to work to keep the citizens of Lansing safe. The Lansing Police Department/City Recruiting Team remains committed to continue to recruit quality candidates who reflect Lansing's diversity. A national opioid crisis has exploded in communities everywhere. Here in Lansing,our Lansing Police Department has saved lives through the use of Narcan Injection Pens,to prevent loss of life from heroin/opioid overdoses. In 201-7, 249 individuals overdosed, and our police first responders were able to rescue 19 through use of the life-saving injections of Narcan. The Lansing Police Department has participated in numerous community outreach and communication efforts to keep residents informed and to answer questions and concerns of the public. The successful integration of body-worn cameras was a top priority. During 2017,that technology has greatly enhanced officer safety and accountability. TASER/Axon body-worn cameras are in operation by officers and command staff at the Lansing Police Department. Ultimately they help secure convictions in criminal cases and help clarify what happened when there is a dispute or a claim that a citizen or an officer acted improperly. I extend my sincere thanks and gratitude to the men and women of the Lansing Police Department for their service to our community,for their dedication to keeping Lansing a vibrant and safe community. Together,we can make Lansing an even better place to live,work,visit, and raise a family. cq Respectfully, ,4tI4 sc�" a Andy Schor Mayor 0 N - .�,_ _ w f 1. ti N s r Board of Police Commissioners Drew Macon, Chairperson �ICHIG � Andy Schor,Mayor Dear Mayor Schor: On behalf of the Board of Police Commissioners, it is my pleasure as Chairperson to present to you and the citizens of Lansing the 2017 Annual Report of the Lansing Police Department.

Chief of Police Michael Yankowski Dear Mayor Schor,Board of Police Commissioners,and Citizens of Lansing: On behalf of the dedicated Lansing Police Department employees,I present to you the Lansing Police Department's Annual Report for 2017. I am very grateful and honored to lead such a talented and honorable group of police professionals. The Lansing Police Department(LPD),is a professional law enforcement agency that has served the citizens of Lansing for the past 124 years and has a proud tradition of providing innovative policing strategies and quality service to the citizens of Lansing. The mission of the Lansing Police Department is to MAINTAIN ORDER, PRESERVE PUBLIC SAFETY;and to FOSTER A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE;MAKING OUR CITY A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE,WORK AND VISIT. The 2017 Annual Report provides information and insight regarding the outstanding work performed by the employees and volunteers of the Lansing Police Department.Police Legitimacy and Community Policing continue to be the solid foundation of the LPD. In 2017,we continued to focus on building trust by engaging with our citizens,youth and business owners by attending over 550 community engagement events.Programs like Neighborhood Watch,G.R.E.A.T.,Youth Leadership Academy, and the Citizens Police Academy continue to be the showcase programs from which police and community strengthen our partnerships.A new key community collaboration program formed in 2017,was the formation of the Advocates and Leaders for Police and Community Trust(ALPACT).This group of approximately 40,is comprised of leaders and members of the Metro Lansing community,civil rights and liberties organizations,and leaders from the law enforcement community. ALPACT members meet on a monthly basis to discuss ways of building trust and stronger relationships. LPD's emphasis remains on reducing violent crime in the City. In 2017,we launched several new initiatives that have helped expand our focus on reducing gun violence in 2017 by 26%.LPD joined the Federal Government's National Public Safety Partnership(PSP).The PSP program provides an innovative framework for the Department of Justice to enhance its support of local law enforcement officers and prosecutors in the investigation,prosecution,and deterrence of violent crime,especially crimes related to gun violence and drug trafficking.In April of 2017,LPD entered into a formal partnership with the Michigan State Police(MSP)by becoming the 12t'Secured Cities Partnership Program in the State of Michigan. The Secured Cities Partnership Program provides LPD with eight(8)MSP uniformed road troopers and detectives,who work side by side with LPD officers in investigating and reducing violent crime in the city. As we move forward into 2018,the pace of change in policing the city will inevitably be a defining moment for the future of Law Enforcement.We look forward to the upcoming year that will expand new technology to enhance our effective policing strategies with our Federal,State and County partners such as expanding our body worn camera program, deploying a citizen mobile app,street level crime fighting intelligence software and expanding public safety cameras that will enhance our ability to communicate within the organization as well as with the community. We will continue to work together with our neighborhoods,businesses,and schools to build strong community a partnerships that will help keep our city safe,while we focus on reducing violent and youth crime. o Sincerely, Z Mike Yankowski Chief of Police H N Ic + Impm Organizational Chart `) L IT 12 : r { - RE- \ / f ; u k } 12 \ § \ } � § M! 0 �k f � � \ \ / - .�,_ _ w f 1.

Patrol Division -a Captain Darin Southworth The Lansing Police Department Uniform Patrol Division is the largest of Lansing Police Department's four Divisions. This Division consists of the Patrol Section and Executive Section. Throughout 2017 and the first quarter of 2018,the Patrol Section Shifts were led by Lieutenant Michelle Spoelma—Day Shift,Lieutenant Rodney Anderson-Afternoon Shift,and Lieutenant David Sileo—Night Shift. Each shift has five sergeants and approximately 25-30 officers all of whom are assigned to Jone of our four patrol sectors. The Canine Unit(K-9)is also an integral part of the Patrol Section. The K-9 Unit is led by Sergeant Sean Mills,who supervises six K-9 teams assigned across the three shifts. Victim Advocate Volunteers and Police Chaplains are resources provided by Lansing Police to serve our personnel and our citizens. Both programs are coordinated by Sergeant Shawn Mills. The Executive Section is led by Lieutenant Hung Tran and includes the Community Services Unit(CSU)and Traffic and Special Events Unit(TSEU). The CSU was created in May of 2016 and consists of one Sergeant,ten Community Police Officers,three School Resource Officers (assigned to our three High Schools),police volunteers(VIP),one Community Service Officer who coordinates Neighborhood Watch,School Watch,Business Watch,Crime Prevention and more. The CSU proudly engages our community broadly and in specific geographic areas. They have the focused responsibility of building and maintaining partnerships with our public and helping neighborhoods reduce/eliminate crime,blight,and other issues impacting favorable quality of life. The TSEU has one Sergeant,four Traffic/Motor Officers,one Traffic Crash Follow-Up Officer,four Parking Enforcement Officers,and one Subpoena Service Officer. This work group is responsible for traffic safety and enforcement;roadway escorts for funerals,parades,dignitaries;crash investigation;and special event coordination and protection. Last,but certainly not least,this Division's continuity has been maintained by Administrative Assistant,Rhonda Mubarakeh,who has worked with at least six different Division heads in her time with the Department. Rhonda manages supplies,time accounting,data tracking,facility reservation/maintenance,and helps coordinate duties and hours donated by our outstanding citizen volunteers. Uniform Patrol Division personnel are the most visible and interactive members of this Department. We respect the origin of our authority and embrace a strong and deeply engrained community oriented policing philosophy. Our Department Mission is to maintain order,preserve public safety and foster a better quality of life;making our City a better place to live,work and visit. To meet this mission and specific work group expectations,Uniform Patrol Division personnel are asked to demonstrate the following values:Team Work,Respect,Courage,Positive Character,and pursuit of Excellence. We train,equip,and lead our personnel to be resourceful,proficient,critical thinkers and problem solvers to efficiently serve the people that depend on us during the most challenging times. Uniform Patrol Division's most notable responsibilities are responding to calls for service,intervention of crimes in progress and traffic enforcement. Our personnel arrest approximately 5000 people,issue 15,000 citations,write more than 16,000 incident and accident reports,and save several lives,annually. In addition,we participate,coordinate,and host more than 500 community meetings/events annually. These community engagement opportunities are every bit as important,as the calls for service we respond,to building trust and meaningful partnerships. We would not have the measured success we enjoy without the solid neighborhood and business relationships we have built and sustained throughout the years. a Captain Darin Southworth retired in March,2017.

The three new teams from 2o16 have progressed in their training. The unit has begun using a new statistical tracking program this year called Pack Track. The program is cloud based and is able to be operated by the handler's cell phone from an application. This program assists handlers through GPS tracking and supplying weather information based on location and time and date of the call. Through collaboration with S.T.A.R.T.,the K-9 Unit has re-implemented the Tactical K-9 Program. Officer Rendon/K-9 Mac and Officer Frazier/K-9 Kanan were chosen for the positions, went through a basic SWAT K-9 School and have been training with S.T.A.R.T. Teams have been successfully deployed into the field on a few occasions this year. Officer Szczesny retired K- 9 Chase after 81/2 years of service. Officer Szczesny has provided the Lansing Police Department with 16 years of service as a K-9 handler.

Sergeant Sean Mills can be reached at TX: (517)483-6843 or Sean.Millso,lansingmi.gov. TRAINING The Tactical K-9 Program was reinstated. Testing criteria was developed and three(3)teams tested for the positions. Officer Rendon and K-9 Mac along with Officer Frazier and K-9 Kanan were chosen. Both teams attended the SWAT and K-9's Interacting During Deployment School in Tennessee. Teams continue to attend the Alpena Workshop through NAPCH in order to stay certified and sharp on their skills. The Alpena Workshop offers a unique environment where the teams can work on all aspects of their training while networking with a vast array of trainers and teams. Teams alternate every other year for attendance. In the coming year the unit will focus on working with other area K-9 teams in an attempt to network our training, venues,and ideas. The plan will be to have two scenario based training days that will allow teams to work in the different environments if they are called during a mutual aid call. This allows teams to know and understand the way these agencies work and what their road patrol officers have been taught to do in support of their K-9 teams when they are deployed.

H N w Investigations Division Captain Thomas Fabus The Investigations Division of the Lansing Police Department identified and executed numerous changes during 2017 to provide innovate strategies to enhance public safety in our community. In January 2017,the Lansing I Police Department announced our participation with the U.S.Department of Justice's National Public Safety Partnership(PSP). The program is designed to provide an innovative framework to enhance federal support for City of Lansing law enforcement and prosecution authorities.Program goals include;aggressively investigating and prosecuting violent criminals, specifically those involved in gun crime,drug trafficking,and gang violence. PSP is designed to promote interagency coordination by leveraging specialized law enforcement expertise with dedicated prosecutorial resources to promote public and community safety. Based on this partnership,the Lansing Police Department has been able to enhance our Violent Crime Initiative with personnel from the FBI Violent Crimes Task Force dedicated to assist with violent crime issues in the capital area. In addition, our community was able to receive additional support from the Department of Justice's United States Attorney's Office with dedicated prosecutors for our area to assist with the prosecution of violent offenders. In April of 2017,the Lansing Police Department announced our collaboration with the Michigan State Police (MSP)as part of the Secure Cities Partnership(SCP). As part of this partnership,MSP dedicated additional resources within the City of Lansing as a force multiplier. The SCP investigative team consists of three Detectives embedded within the Detective Bureau assigned to assist with crimes against persons. In addition, the SCP uniformed squad consists of a dedicated five-member trooper squad dedicated to the Lansing Police Department's Violent Crime Impact Team. The strong relationship between our departments enhances the capabilities of law enforcement within the Lansing area to improve the quality of life for the citizens in our community. In July 2017,the Detective Bureau went to a Victim Based Investigation strategy. This strategy allows for victims of crime to have direct access to Investigators the day following the reported crime. Customer Service of the Detective Bureau has been enhanced by the ability to speak one-on-one with reporting parties in a timely manner to address victim's concerns. The Investigations Division consists of members from the Detective Bureau,Special Operations Section, Violent Crime Impact Team,Crime Scene Investigations,Divisional Clerks and the Crime Intelligence Unit. Combined within our division are also specialized services of the Capital Area Dive Team and the Special Tactics and Rescue Team. All our teams work together to enhance the capabilities for successful resolution to our investigations. The Investigations Division will continue to work together to make our community a safer place for all.

Court Officers Lieutenant Traci Ruiz The Court Officers are a vital part of the Lansing Police Department. When the Patrol Officers arrest a suspect or write a report on a suspect that they cannot locate, the Court Officers continue the process towards justice being served. They also are a crucial part of making sure the citizens of Lansing are safe by working with the City Attorney Office and the Ingham County Prosecutor Office to bring charges against these individuals that commit serious crimes in our city. The Court Officers are responsible for making sure the reports and other required documents are complete and turn them over for charges to be issued. This is just a small part of what these Officer do. They also pick up reports and warrants on cases where the suspects have not been arrested. They take all the warrants and they swear to the information in front of a Judge or Magistrate for the facts of the case. They then are responsible for all the individuals that are in custody getting arraigned. This is a necessary task for the suspect to be formally advised of the charges and a bond to be set by the Judge or Magistrate. This does not end the process for the Court Officers on each individual case. They also have to document in multiple data systems the outcome of the arraignment. Other Court Officers responsibilities include transporting evidence to and from the crime lab in certain cases to maintain a proper chain of evidence. When results are done from the crime lab they are responsible for documenting and presenting those cases for warrants if the results connect a suspect to the crime. All of these tasks would have to be done by our Patrol Officers if it was not for our Court Officers doing it. That would mean fewer Officers to respond to emergency gii calls. It takes several hours to process a single case from start to finish and the ability to have these Officers process several cases at one time is a testament to their work ethic and helps the Lansing Police Department be more efficient in protecting the citizens of Lansing. a 0 z� x H N w Subject Control Cadre - Sergeant Paul Beasinger The Lansing Police Department Subject Control Cadre is a team comprised of ten(1o)part time trainers.
