Annual Report
2003

Chief of Police
“Serving Our Community...Protecting Wyoming’s Future”
The 2003 Wyoming Police Department Annual Report is
dedicated to the memory of Emergency Communications
Operator Rebecca Mitchell who passed away on December 29,
2003, as a result of complications from pneumonia.
Rebecca began her long career as a police dispatcher with the
Michigan State Police, Wayland Post. She was a dedicated
employee of the Wyoming Police Department for twenty-two
years.
Rebecca was well liked and respected by her co-workers. She
was professional in her duties. The personal safety of our police officers and
citizens was always the highest priority for Rebecca.
Her dedication to our department and community is evidenced by the fact that she
was working in the 911 emergency dispatch center on Christmas Day. Her warm
greeting to me when I stopped by to wish employees Merry Christmas masked a
health problem which would take Becky from us four days later.
We are grateful for her service to our department and our community. Her kindness
and friendship were felt by all who knew her. She will be fondly remembered.
Sincerely,
Edward P. Edwardson
Chief of Police

Wyoming Police Department Annual Report
WYPD 2003
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.

A Special Tribute to one of our own.
Rebecca Mitchell
It was with great sadness that the Wyoming Police Department learned of the death of Emergency
Communication Operator Becky Mitchell. Like so many others who were drawn to Becky by her
smile, charm, and warmth, we are deeply grieved and bewildered by her unexpected death in
December 2003.
We at the Wyoming Police Department extend our most heartfelt condolences to the members of
Becky’s family. Becky will always remain alive in the memories of those who loved, respected,
and treasured her.

Annual Summary

CRIMINAL OPERATIONS:
x
OPERATIONAL ACTIVITIES:
x
Several consent searches and search warrants were conducted in
the City of Wyoming for marijuana growing operations. All were
dismantled and the suspects arrested.
x
A tip was received regarding a subject known to WANT personnel
as someone who was previously arrested by the DEA. The
subject was on federal probation and was alleged to be bringing
GHB into the area from Arizona. Surveillance was established
with the assistance of the DEA and several subjects were
arrested. A historical case of over four gallons of GHB was
indicted through the U.S. Attorney’s office for the DEA and the
WANT Team.
x
In cooperation with patrol officers and the detective bureau,
WYNET team members continue to take the lead in organizing
and carrying out prostitution stings targeting “johns”.
Two
operations were conducted resulting in the arrest of 52 people. In
addition to the sex crime charges, one handgun, two tasers,
narcotics and the equipment used to facilitate their use were also
confiscated.
Staffing Data
x
Members of WYNET and WANT use
the most up-to-date technology
available to them to assist them in
addressing criminal activities in their
assigned areas.
With this
information, whether individually or
as a team, they have made a
significant impact on criminal activity
in their districts through directed
patrol, plain-clothes surveillance, foot
patrols and bike patrol. Information
received from the public remains one
of the most vital tools in combating
criminal activity.
WYNET maintains a close working
relationship with the Wyoming Area
Narcotics Team assisting them with
ongoing investigations.
Together
they targeted drug dealers and
prostitutes using motels in the 28th
and S. Division area as a base of
operation for their activities. Search
warrants were conducted and arrests
were made. Word traveled quickly
that Wyoming was not the place to
conduct their criminal activities such
as these.
