Lower than a day later, the mayor says these concerned might be held accountable.

I’m offended that these egocentric, reckless drivers created an unsafe state of affairs 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 right now about final night. The events concerned have been recognized and there might be severe penalties for the hurt they brought on. The Lansing Police Division will suggest all costs doable, as discovered by the proof, to the Prosecutor to carry these accountable accountable. The Chief and I’ve additionally talked about having additional patrols on the street, particularly in scorching spot areas. LPD has a number of recruits within the academy now, so we could have extra officers on the streets quickly. And in my price range advice to Council, I’ve known as for including extra officers utilizing funding from the state Public Security Belief Fund as soon as it’s signed into legislation.We’ve got 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 crimson mild cameras to catch extreme speeders.  However cities are prevented from doing this by state legislation. I do know laws has been proposed, and I hope the Legislature will evaluate these payments for consideration. 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 most effective within the state, however they’re a really busy division and we’d like each instrument and useful resource from the state to assist.
