Community Policing
The Lansing police Department has been a long time leader in Community
Policing. Our efforts Community Policing have reduced crime and spurred
neighborhood and business cooperation. We moved from a specialized
programmatic approach to an operational philosophy. As our internal
crime information systems change, the availability of data for
decision-making allows us to hold ourselves more accountable. We wish to
reduce crime and calls for service, while increasing our overall
citizen satisfaction levels.
As community policing shapes every aspect of our internal decision making process the level of satisfaction within the community also improves. We are committed to providing the best services possible to the residents of Lansing. We continue to look for new and innovative ways to deliver police services and increase our accessibility.
Genessee Corridor - Community Officer
School Resource Officers have played an integral role in the school culture. SROs routinely monitor the halls and campus to ensure a safe environment for both students and staff. SROs enforce law, support school security and administration with school code matters and liaison between School, neighborhood and City officials. SROs teach classes, counsel students and most importantly, provide encouragement, motivation and mentoring to many students that truly benefit.
This group of officers has done a remarkable job of building relationships with students which have benefited the school and community by preventing incidents that jeopardize public safety. All of them have attended Home Land Security training specific to school violence. Their teachings in the school have included internet safety, bullying prevention, illegal drugs awareness and modified "Scared Straight" type programs.
SRO presence in our schools has improved security and discipline policies and brought a heightened degree of comfort among students and staff who simply want to feel safe in their scholastic environment. These officers have taken ownership of the assignment, their school, and provide service with a genuine pursuit of making a difference.
