EXPANDED YOUTH BUREAU:
 |
We have grown to include; 2 DARE Deputies, a Juvenile Division officer
(Part-time DARE instructor), a Hartland School Resource officer and a
pending Pinckney Resource officer (Grant pending). In 1996, meetings
were held with all Law Enforcement agencies and schools in Livingston
County to come up with a five year funding plan to provide DARE to all
elementary students in the Pinckney, Fowlerville and Hartland Schools.
|
|
One DARE instructor is attending "Middle School DARE
Instructor's training" in May, to present a Middle School
program in the Pinckney School district.
|
|
Our Youth Bureau officers work special events during the summer months
and assist Road Patrol with special operations such as Minors and
alcohol violation sting operations. They also talk to pre-school
and elementary students with such programs as "Stranger
Danger"

EXPANDED TRAFFIC SAFETY BUREAU:
|
We have doubled the Traffic Bureau. We now have four Deputies
working Selective Enforcement in problem areas and trained in Crash
Reconstruction for serious injury and fatal car crashes. Our
Deputies routinely assist other police agencies within Livingston
County with these investigations.
|
|
We have purchased a Laser radar and the technology for Computer
reconstruction programs.
|
|
Two of our Specialist have just completed the new State Certification
process for "Child Seat Inspection Technicians". The
Sheriff Department is the only agency in Livingston County with
