The reason for the Fire Siren tonight

Tonight is the night, starting at 7 pm. Let's make this a record year Sebewaing.

With yesterdays post on tall grass, I see that I made a mistake and did not clearly say that help is available for those in need.

So, I am correcting my error and offering this post.

If you wish to help any individuals that truly need assistance with their lawns in and around the Sebewaing area, please respond with a way to be contacted so that those in need may reach out.

With that said, any interaction that you may have with persons through this is completely between you all. We as the police department can not endorse any one lawn service over another. Nor can we be held responsible for any agreement, services or actions between private individuals.

So now that we have that out of the way, let’s get to the important part of neighbor helping neighbor!

Hopefully, this gets as much traction as yesterdays post.

Strength and Honor!
Love Ya’ll

Chief

PS: One thing I would like to add is, in the 4 years that I have been Chief here, because of our. Community engagement and dialogue with the town, we have NOT had to issue tickets for tall grass.

So maybe what we are doing is working?

Why enforcing the “little things” matters?

Comments have been made about why the police are wasting their time on such trivial matters as unkempt grass.

Because is you ignore the small things, the big problems follow.

Large cities may never recover from the crime and social downturn we have witnessed.

In Sebewaing, we can still maintain our low crime rate, quality of life and a pleasant community by addressing the small things as well as the big things.

We have shown success over the last 4 years with our Community Policing effort.

Communication. Finding solutions together. Transparency showing the community what the police Department is doing on a daily basis.

It has resulted in a crime rate that is in the bottom 2% per capita in the State.

Addressing not just the small things with proactive policing but long term solutions with programs like Cops and Bobbers that introduce kids to positive outdoor activities by putting a fishing poles in idle hands or the Young Gentleman’s Club that teaches character, manners and builds self esteem in young men.

Correct me if I’m wrong but, I think this is an amazing community and I believe that what your Police Department is doing is working.

Please read the study below on the “Broken Window Theory” to understand the reasoning behind our efforts.

Sincerely

Chief

Strength and Honor Sebewaing.

Please pay particular attention on the slide referring to why some disagree with the theory. Specifically #3 where it says that this must be coupled with solutions and community engagement to work……..🤔

We kinda think we are covering this point and the results seem to indicate we are doing things right.
