As always, our personnel for the children's families. consistently demonstrated honor,courage and commitment to the City of Lansing during 2011 and 2012. Note: This event is not affiliated with In 2011 and 2012,we developed and enhanced investigatory initiatives that focused on violent crime, drug the"Shop with`a Cop"event. crimes and crime prevention efforts that were not only pro-active but further emphasized community partnerships and embraced data driven policing tactics. One such federally funded effort was called P.E.A.C.E (Police Enforcement and Community Engagement). The P.E.A.C.E. initiative was highly effective in reducing crime in targeted areas and also provided solid mentoring systems for community offenders. The success of the P.E.A.C.E. initiative was bent on partnerships from various neighborhood organizations,the faith based community,The Boys&Girls Club of Lansing, Michigan State University,the Ingham County Prosecutors Office and the U.S. Department of Justice — Project Safe Neighborhood Initiatives. In 2011 and 2012 the Investigations and Patrol Divisions assisted with several community crime.marches and events focusing attention to Violent me. Members of the Homicide Unit understand that victims of homicide and their loved ones are deserving of the best available investigations. The Homicide Unit examines all homicides and Suspicious Deaths with the upmost respect and works all viable investigation leads. When investigatory leads turn cold our investigations unit remain persistent in their efforts to locate new leads by embracing law enforcement i partnerships and changing technologies with a goal to give our community closure. The Special Operation Section (SOS) is our undercover drug and human trafficking unit. SOS assesses a host of criminal intelligence provided by our Crime Analysts to locate felony suspects in our community that seek to sell drugs and engage in prostitution networks. The SOS works closely with local ATF agents that are embedded in our department and other federal,state and local governmental organizations. Our Detention Unit remains a vital unit within our organization and is responsible for the professional and humane lodging of our arrestees. Our Dive Team and Special Tactics and Rescue Team units are trained to the highest of operational levels in preparation for field emergencies during high risk criminal and rescue contacts. Even with our multi-approach to crime reduction there remains the common variable for continued sustainment and fostering of community involvement. I firmly argue that the only way to maintain the involvement of our great community is for the Lansing Police Department to remain a trusting organization. The community must respect and trust the Lansing Police Department to maintain and create better community communications which assist in solving crime and addressing quality of life issues. As a result,we continue to abate crime through the building of community partnerships systems that serve the best interest of our great City. It is an honor to serve the City of Lansing.
