Wyoming Police Department Annual Report
WYPD 2004
To:
Mayor, City Council, and City Manager
From: Edward P. Edwardson, Director of Police and Fire Services
Subject: WYPD 2004 Annual Report
I am dedicating the 2004 Annual Report to our WYPD employees
and volunteers. As you know, we sustained significant loss of personnel which resulted in reduction in and/or elimination of our special teams. These unavoidable events, triggered by fiscal circumstance outside the City control, caused hardships throughout the organization and significantly impacted morale.
However, the performance of the department during 2004 was exceptional in light of these
events. This is due to the professionalism and dedication of our people. The safety of our
community and it citizens is our responsibility. Your reading of this report will clearly
demonstrate just how well our staff performed.
I thank you for your continued support and leadership. Please keep our officers, staff and
volunteers in your prayers. "Serving Our Community…Protecting Wyoming's Future."
That's what we do best and 2004 performance is proof positive of our continued commitment to our mission.
Sincerely,

Introduction
Each year the Wyoming Police Department prepares an annual report of
crime statistics for the City of Wyoming, the Michigan Incident Crime
Reporting (MICR) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation Uniform Crime
Report (UCR). This data is compiled from offenses reported to the WYPD,
monthly police reports and individual crime incident reports.
The primary objective of this annual report is to provide a reliable set of
criminal justice statistics for police administration, operation, and
management. The localized study of crime data enables personnel to
assess the influence of crime on districts, neighborhoods, and people.
Similarly, crime statistics permit analysis among neighboring jurisdictions,
and with those of similar populations and other characteristics. A broad
examination of the crime data allows individuals to view the nature and
movement of crime, underlying changes, and fluctuations throughout the City
of Wyoming, the State of Michigan, and the United States.
The WYPD is committed to improving the reliability and validity of our crime
reporting data. We are attempting to achieve this goal by study and analysis
of major crime indexes, and understanding the impact of classification
revisions mandated by the State. As a result, some offense categories have
decreased, while others increased. Our efforts are providing a reporting
system that will be more accurate, valid, reliable, and compatible with State
and Federal standards.

Annual Summary
Ofc. Easterly is responsible for maintaining WYPD grant funding. Active grants include:
M. Easterly
Local Law Enforcement Block Grant: $22,519
Each year, the Local Law Enforcement Block Grants (LLEBG) Program provides funds to units of local
government for the purposes of reducing crime and improving public safety. Over the past five years, the
Wyoming Police Department has applied for and received over $400,000 in LLEBG funding that was
dedicated to the acquisition of police programs, technology and equipment. In 2004, the WYPD was
awarded $22,519 in LLEBG grant funds.
911 Act 32 Training Funds: $6,520
The Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) training fund was created in Public Act 32 of 1986, when it was amended by
Public Act 78 of 1999. As provided by P.A. 78 of 1999, the purpose of the PSAP training program is to distribute training
funds to eligible PSAPs for training 9-1-1 center personnel.
Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grant: $2,410
The Juvenile Accountability Block Grant (JABG) Program is based on Title III of H.R. 3, The Juvenile Accountability
Block Grants Act of 1997, as passed by the House of Representatives on May 8, 1997. The purpose of the JABG Program
is to provide States and units of local government with funds to develop programs to promote greater accountability
among youth in the juvenile justice system. The WYPD participates in the Kent County Coalition, 17th Circuit Court—
Family Division.
Automobile Theft Prevention Authority (ATPA): $86,000
The ATPA was established in 1986 to reduce automobile theft in Michigan. The ATPA provides grants on a competitive
basis for programs to reduce auto thefts. The wages and benefits of the one officer assigned to the Combined Auto Theft
Team (CATT) is paid through ATPA grant funding.
Metropolitan Enforcement Team (MET): $86,000
MET is a multi-jurisdictional drug task force. The unit is composed of two teams. The Suburban Team investigates street
and mid-level narcotic dealer using traditional investigative techniques. The Conspiracy Team targets and investigates top
level narcotics traffickers utilizing historical investigative techniques and the new state money laundering statute, as well
as federal statutes in conjunction with several federal agencies. The jurisdiction covered by MET is Kent County.
Bullet Proof Vest Grant (BPVG): $6,350
The Department of Justice Bulletproof Vest Program reimburses participating departments for 50% of the purchase price
of the ballistic resistant vests issued to police officers. The life-saving capacity of the ballistic vest has been thoroughly
documented. The Police Department issues a high-quality ballistic vest to every sworn officer. Officers are required to
wear the ballistic vest at all times when working in the field. Ballistic vests lose their ballistic resistant capability over
time and must be replaced every five years. During 2004, the WYPD purchased twenty-five replacement vests.
Office of Highway Safety Planning (OHSP):
The WYPD is the host agency for the OHSP Kent County Task Force (KCTF). The KCTF is committed to supporting
programs designed to reduce fatalities, injuries and property damage caused by traffic crashes. The Kent County Task
force promotes traffic safety through the enforcement of Michigan’s standard safety belt law, impaired driving and supporting traffic safety education programs for Michigan residents.
OHSP - You Drink You Drive You Lose & Click It or Ticket : $160,000
The goal of this “You Drink You Drive You Lose” program is to apprehend impaired drivers. Throughout 2004, the
WYPD conducted overtime enforcement saturation patrols—especially near the holiday season. The goal of “Click It or
Ticket” program is to ticket violators of Michigan’s safety belt law. The WYPD conducted overtime enforcement saturation patrols to stop vehicles for observed violations of the Motor Vehicle Code and screen all passengers for non-use of a
safety belt
OHSP - Youth Alcohol Enforcement Grant: $14,000
The WYPD has received $14,000 in grant funding from the OHSP to be used to eliminate underage consumption of alcohol at special events, eliminate adults furnishing alcohol to minors, reduce the number or alcohol-related traffic crashes
and promote community awareness of problems associated with underage drinking. These programs emphasize education, prevention, enforcement, and adjudication to discourage minors from consuming and attempting to consume alcohol.

with local ordinances. The RSVP volunteers Harry Havelhorst and Bill Homminga assigned to the Unit work closely with agencies throughout West
Michigan to disseminate information, share resources, and enhance communications.
Community Probation Model
Community probation is a unique and non-traditional way of providing decentralized and personalized
court supervision to juveniles and their families that reside in a specific sector of the city and/or county.
The goals of community probation are to reduce further delinquency in a targeted population, develop cooperative and coordinated relationships with the law enforcement community, and to develop services and
treatment plans that enhance the balanced and restorative justice concept.
The Court introduced the Community Probation concept in 1999 with the help of grant funding, and as a
result total restructuring of probation services has taken place over the last 5 years. Presently the Court has
22 probation officers and 22 surveillance officers assigned to the Community Probation program and an
additional 4 probation officers assigned to out-county locations.
The City of Wyoming was included in the Community Probation Model in 2001. The city is divided into 6
sectors, with an additional sector including Wyoming residents that live within the Grandville Public
School District. There are 4 full-time Community Probation Officers assigned to the City of Wyoming
(not including the CPO assigned to Grandville) and 5 fulltime surveillance staff working the Wyoming,
Kentwood, Grandville areas. Probation officers are assigned to certain neighborhoods and have an established community office at the Wyoming Police Dept. Probation Officers are required to work closely with
community police officers assigned to the neighborhoods.
Restorative and balanced justice is the concept that drives the work with youthful offenders on Community
Probation. Each treatment plan developed for all youth, along with the court order, includes key components such as community safety, competency development, and accountability. Safety concerns are addressed in several ways: intensive probation officer, surveillance officer contacts, drug screens, school
checks, sharing of information with the police, schools, and neighborhood crime prevention staff, and as
needed placement in detention or out-of home placements. Competency development includes components
such as substance abuse treatment, anger management classes, CMH assessments, mentoring and tutoring
programs, parenting classes, and court supported schools. Accountability includes an emphasis on making
the victim and community whole primarily by the use of restitution and community service. Many services
provided to the youth and their families are offered within the City of Wyoming. Some services such as
anger management classes and community service are facilitated by the Wyoming Community Probation
Officers and are held at the Wyoming Police Dept.
There were 633 cases assigned to probation officers in 2004. Of these assignments, 85 youth were placed
on Community Probation within the City of Wyoming.

Gang Program
The WYPD employs several personnel who have advanced training and knowledge
in gangs and gang activity in West Michigan. The work of Det. Jim Bivins and Det.
Lt. Paul Robinson has resulted in the identification of 35 different gangs active
within the City of Wyoming. The WYPD works in cooperation with the members
of the Kent County Juvenile Probation Unit, the 62A District Court and area schools
to address gang related activity. The WYPD also shares resources and information
with other local, state and federal law enforcement.
Graffiti Abatement Project
On August 4, 2004, the Wyoming Police Department, 62A District
Court Probation and the Kent County Work Crew Program joined
resources to pilot a Graffiti Abatement Project, to both clean up and
prevent unsightly graffiti in parks, neighborhoods and businesses in
our community.
We know that graffiti left unattended sends a message that crime,
neglect and decay are tolerated in a community. Prompt clean up and abatement efforts show that
residents and city personnel are working together to keep the City of Wyoming a clean and safe
place to live, work and visit!
Probation Officer Kathleen M. Eardley of the 62A Court, received written permission from the
property owners to remove graffiti at various locations throughout our community. Phil Anderson,
Kent County Work Crew Supervisor monitored an eight-person work crew consisting of people
who were sentenced out of the District Court to this project. The first pilot project mobilization
cleaned up over forty sites tagged with graffiti!
Sex Offender Registry Enforcement Program
Ofc. Jim Emaus manages the WYPD Sex Offender Registry Program. Offenders
convicted of a sex offense must comply with the 1999 Michigan’s Sex Offender
Registration Act. Requirements of the Act include:
• Offenders are required to register their current address for 25 years after conviction or a ten year minimum measured from the date the person was released from
J. Emaus
prison and placed on parole, supervised release, or probation, whichever is longer.
• State residents sex offenders who move to another state must report the change
of address to the Michigan State Police and must comply with any registration requirement in
the new state of residency.
• A registrant is required to verify his or her address with the local law enforcement agency four
times per year if the person is registered for one or more of the felony listed offense.
• A registrant is required to verify his or her address with the local law enforcement agency one
time per year if the person is registered for one of the listed misdemeanor offenses.
Ofc. Emaus monitors the list of sex offenders in the City of Wyoming. If an individual fails to
comply with the mandates of the Act, Ofc. Emaus will alert officers of the violation via the department intranet. The effort of Ofc. Emaus has resulted in arrest of several felony and misdemeanor
offenders.

Transforming Lives...
What is the Taft Avenue
Transformation Project?
The Taft Avenue Project is a collaborated effort of
the Wyoming Police Department and the “AdoptA-Block” program, that is designed to provide a
strong network of support for those living in, working in, and visiting the Taft Avenue neighborhood.
Though teamwork, we achieve our goal to develop
positive leadership skills from within the neighborhoods. We empower residents to become catalysts for positive change. We transform lives, by
leading as examples in the community that we
serve.
Our united approach is our most effective step
toward improving the Taft Avenue neighborhood.
Our Strategy...
To transform the community, we must first build
relationships by meeting the needs of the people.
This is accomplished by establishing fellowship
events such as:
• Visits with the residents. To include deliveries
of food and clothing for those in need.
• Crime prevention activities
• Recreational activities / Build Prairie Park
• Neighborhood block parties
• Neighborhood block associations
• Tenant associations
• Neighborhood watch groups
• Senior citizen and disabled persons services
The Next Step…
We then apply our urban design and security
plan strategy to help renew the neighborhood. Our
response is to spend time in our community facilitating neighborhood projects such as:
•
•
•
Why should you get involved?
Help area residents, business, city services, faith-based
organizations, public schools and other non-profit agencies in the neighborhood, work together toward the
common goal to:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Enhance citizenship
Improve personal health practices
Improve personal safety practices
Improve the neighborhood aesthetics
Reduce crime / Prevent drug use
Support Taft Elementary School
Enhance care for the elderly and disabled
Establish a network of support services
A Thanksgiving turkey delivery to families in the Taft Ave. District
was made possible by the Michigan Turkey Growers Association,
Great Lakes Towing and the many volunteers
that helped with the event.

Field Training Officer Program
The Field Officer Training Program is a highly structured training program designed to
provide new officers with training needed to supplement the knowledge gained during
their training at an MCOLES sponsored police academy. At the WYPD, new officers are
paired with an experienced and trained field training officer for a period of 19 weeks. This
allows the new officer an opportunity to apply their classroom learning to every day use.
The officer is allowed to make their own decisions under intense scrutiny by their trainer.

Final Report—Teams Disbanded
W.Y.N.E.T. / W.A.N.T.
W.Y.N.E.T.
Since 1995, the Wyoming Police Department had shifted its resources toward a
community policing philosophy. The community policing approach to law enforcement seeks to address the causes of
crime and reduce the fear of crime and social disorder
through problem-solving strategies and police-community
partnerships. A fundamental shift from traditional reactive
policing, community policing strives to prevent crime before
it occurs.
Unfortunately, budget reductions forced the collapse of
both units. The unit statistics represent the final nine
months of their operation.
The collapse of both of these highly successful programs
greatly limits our street-level enforcement and problemsolving operations.

School Liaison Program
Annual Summary
School Resource Activities
Sgt. Kirt Zuiderveen is the supervisor of the School
Resource Officer Program (SOR). The School Resource Officer program is a nationally accepted
program involving the placement of a law enforcement officer within the educational environment.
The officer, while in school, is involved in a variety
of functions aimed at prevention. Besides being an active high profile
law enforcement officer, the SRO is a resource for students, parents,
teachers and administration regarding law issues. Another duty for the
SRO is being a link to other service agencies which provide preventive
and counseling services within the school district. Working hand in hand
with the Principal in each school, the SRO assists with finding solutions
to problems affecting school age children.
During 2004, the SRO program was eliminated because of budget reduction measures. However, the program was able to continue for the
2004/2005 school year due to the generosity of the Godfrey-Lee,
Godwin, and Wyoming Public Schools. The districts are providing the
funding for three officers for the school year.
Special Events:
The School Liaison Officers presented two hundred sixty-nine lectures
in the area schools.
•
•
3 Neighborhood Watch lectures were given this past year, involving
over one hundred citizens of Wyoming.
•
New Neighborhood Watch groups in the City of Wyoming include the
streets of Jean, Illinois, and Golfbury.
•
In 2004, three Child Watch training sessions were conducted. As a
result, there are twenty-five more Child Watch Volunteers in the City of
Wyoming.
