Patrol Division Captain Mike Yankowski The Patrol Division is the largest division of the Lansing Police Department. Each and every day the men and women of the Patrol Division put their lives on the line for the citizens of Lansing. As an organization, we have pledged to uphold the trust and confidence of our citizens by partnering with them to solve community problems. These strong partnerships and positive working relationships are the cornerstone of keeping the City of Lansing a safe place to live, work and visit. The Patrol Division maintains 134 employees. The Division consists of officers from Road Patrol, Canine Unit, Community Policing, School Resource Officers, Neighborhood Watch and Traffic Unit. The Patrol Division Officers work 12-hour shifts. The shifts are divided into two (2) road patrol shifts, a day and night shift. The shifts are currently deploying 15 to 17 officers per shift. Since 1996, the Lansing Police Department focused on a Team Policing strategy to fighting crime. The city is divided into 14 Team Areas based upon calls for service, response time, and crime reports. Each Team is assigned a Team Sergeant and Team Officers from both day and night shifts. During 2012, The Patrol Division expanded on the foundation of Team Policing by further focusing on SMART/ Intelligence based policing, better known as a "Hot Spot" Policing. SMART Policing is based upon the fundamentals of using crime mapping, crime data and up to date community intelligence in fighting crime. The Patrol Division also increased and strengthened the use of bicycle patrols, neighborhood watch, and community policing for day to day operations. The Lansing Police Department Patrol Division implemented several new crime fighting strategies. The first was an aggressive and dedicated approach in identifying our most violent offenders and crime venues. With a targeted approach, the Patrol Division works closely with our Special Operations Section, Investigations Division and Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), to extract the violent offenders from our community. The second crime fighting strategy was a Data Driven Approach to Crime and Traffic Safety (DDACTS). The DDACTS program uses geo-mapping to identify "hot spots", areas with high incidences of crimes and traffic crashes. DDACTS targets traffic enforcement strategies that play two roles in fighting crime and reducing traffic crashes and traffic violations. DDACTS draws on the deterrent value of highly visible traffic enforcement and the knowledge that crimes often involve motor vehicles. The DDACTS philosophy seeks to reduce crime, crashes, and traffic violations. The purpose of DDACTS is to make our neighborhoods safer. This new policing strategy is designed to help us reduce incidents of crime, crashes and social harm in our communities. In order to maintain the desired quality of life in our neighborhoods and community, it is paramount that each citizen gets involved and works closely with the community in gathering and sharing helpful information with the police department. The strong partnerships we have built with the community are not taken for granted and Neighborhood Watch is the foundation for continued success. The Officers of the Lansing Police Department Patrol Division are proud and honored to be serving the community of Lansing and we thank you for your continued support.

Note: This event is not affiliated with the "Shop with a Cop" event A Message From... Investigations Division Captain Daryl Green The Lansing Police Department Investigations Division is truly proactive, creative and innovative in its response to crime. The Investigations Division makes every effort to examine and implement promising investigatory techniques, leading best practices and strategies that increase our overall efficiencies and effectiveness. Our employees understand that investigations require the continual search for new technologies, techniques and tactics to effectively respond to criminal elements. The commitment and professionalism of our women and men to provide exemplary policing services is truly a community asset. In addition, the Investigations Division continues to foster community and other law enforcement partnerships which are vitally necessary when pursuing crime reduction and increased quality of life systems. The Investigations Division maintains a multi-prong approach to crime reduction which consists of the following specialized units: Homicide, Crimes against Persons, Crimes against Children, Property Crimes, Crime Scene Investigations, Special Operations Section (undercover unit), Crime Analysis Unit, Property Supply Unit, Special Tactical and Rescue Team (START), Dive Team, Capitol Area Response Effort (domestic assault response), Volunteer Services Unit and Detention Center. As always, our personnel consistently demonstrated honor, courage and commitment to the City of Lansing during 2011 and 2012. In 2011 and 2012, we developed and enhanced investigatory initiatives that focused on violent crime, drug 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 marches and events focusing attention to violent crime. 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 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.
