As I proceed to speak to residents and LPD, I’m nonetheless so indignant that some egocentric, reckless drivers created an unsafe scenario that led to such a horrible accident on S MLK, inflicting a lot hurt to harmless bystanders. Chief Backus and I’ve talked a number of instances about this incident. The Lansing Police Division will work with the Ingham County Prosecutor on attainable prices towards the accountable events, as there must be severe penalties for the hurt they precipitated.

We’re additionally speaking with the Ingham County Sheriff and surrounding communities, who’re all coping with the identical problems with dashing and careless driving. This isn’t remoted to only the Metropolis of Lansing,

I’ve requested the Chief to have additional patrols on the street, particularly in scorching spot areas at evening. Highway patrols final evening had been capable of break up a gathering the place reckless driving was noticed and a number of other had been citations issued. Residents ought to name and report harmful driving so LPD can reply as shortly as attainable.

LPD has a number of recruits within the academy now, so we may have extra officers on the streets very quickly.

In my funds suggestion to Council, I’ve known as for including much more officers utilizing funding from the state Public Security Belief Fund as soon as it’s signed into legislation.

We’re as soon as once more reviewing choices to slim streets to sluggish site visitors. As well as, a number of site visitors islands will likely be put in on S MLK on this space to assist sluggish site visitors. We can even evaluation velocity limits alongside a number of corridors.

I’m additionally calling on the state to provide us extra instruments to sluggish site visitors and implement legal guidelines, along with elevated funding by way of the general public security income sharing proposal.

We obtain 100,000 calls per yr and our police can’t be on all of our 400 miles of streets to catch speeders, so I’m supportive of utilizing pink mild cameras to catch extreme speeders. However cities are prevented from doing this by state legislation. I hope the Legislature will contemplate payments to permit us to make use of this expertise. Many cities throughout the nation use them very efficiently to carry careless drivers accountable for his or her actions and permit officers to answer calls on the identical time.

LPD officers are the perfect within the state, however they’re a really busy division and we’d like each software and useful resource from the state to assist.
