I'm gonna call this meeting to order either five minutes late or 20 minutes late, depending on your perspective.

Um sorry, but we went long on our last thing.

Uh so I expect we're gonna have uh quite a long meeting today.

So I want to get started.

Uh and this is the last time that uh Chief Winstram is going to be up presenting us with our crime statistics.

I am currently investigating the case of the stolen mouse.

Oh, we found the suspect.

All right.

I have solved my final.

Okay.

All right, February 24th.

So these are uh year to date versus uh obviously last couple of years uh crime statistics, and as I've mentioned before to this body, um uh uh uh comparison comparing small numbers, and these will be small numbers, uh January to January or year to yeah to year to date, especially during the colder months of the year.

Not necessarily significant numbers, but uh let's go through them.

As you can see, auto thro auto thefts uh for January popped up a little bit.

I looked at them uh for years past, and you can see um this uh with numbers this low, it's not inconsistent from February, say of last year.

Uh so this is not necessarily a trend.

We'd like it to be as close, we'd like it to be zero.

Um, but uh we are uh keeping an eye on on this.

Um as you can see, the trend is still headed in the right direction, and we want to keep that up through the remainder of 2026.

Uh robbery totals pretty stagnant as you can see, the exactly the average.

So no story to be told there, statistically significant story at least.

Uh person shot um see that number would be uh would be a drop were it not for uh we had uh uh tragically uh three individuals killed in a domestic related murder.

Um those count for our three uh fatal shootings there, and you can see otherwise we would be at three.

Um so again, not a that's uh an outlier, obviously a uh very big deal, and there's conversations we can have.

Uh I think we spoke at committee of the whole perhaps about uh more support for our victims and uh certainly support education, advocacy for the survivors of domestic violence.

Uh this incident of three individuals killed in our city uh highlights how important that is.

Um nothing statistically uh significant here.

See, it's kind of spread out across with such low numbers.

We're not gonna see very much.

Um of course um Jacqueline Cameron and Michael.

Um I do want to praise the excellent work of the detectives and uh everybody that that responded uh to the scene, including the uh forensic team, which had to had to process.

We had to call in additional people to process that scene for um we have a ton of officers that are in training and uh to go in and clear that house and to see two um kids that were executed in the in their bed um still working through a lot of emotions on on the police department with with this case.

So uh great work by the detectives, great work by the uh uh victim advocates supporting that that family as well.

Uh speaking of the detectives, 70 plus percent on everything.

I think that 25, I'm confident that 25 rate is going to um jump up even a little further very soon, but can't give details on that.

Obviously, the three from this year have been cleared, closed by arrest and prosecution.

Uh we do talk a lot about the um illegally possessed guns recovered, 21 uh through January.

These three were recovered last night on a traffic stop.

And um, as you can see, two of them are pistols with uh the platform being uh uh 556.

So those are rifle rounds and a pistol.

You could see there are probably 30 round magazines from what I can see and an extended magazine and a nine millimeter clock there.

Uh these uh were possessed by three different individuals on a traffic stop.

What their uh intent was, why they had them um tucked in their uh coats, I do not know.

Um but those guns, uh, two of which were reported stolen and one of which came back no record, likely just hasn't been reported stolen yet.

We're all recovered last night by the proactive uh excellent police work by our officers.

So um uh how many days ago has it has it been now?

So last week we had uh an officer involved shooting, it was the 12th officer involved shooting since I have been here.

Big uh big credit to the Michigan State Police.

They um when they entered into the agreement to investigate our officer involved shootings.

I don't think they they knew quite the the volume.

Uh but they do a very professional job and they're actively investigating it, and so for professional reasons, obviously there's only so much I can say about it, but uh do want to praise them.

Uh I did reach out to Miss Johnson to pass out my condolences to uh the loss of her son.

Of course, I also reached out to uh the two officers involved.

I'm very thankful that they were not uh that they were not injured as well, and look forward to hearing from the Michigan State Police when their investigation is concluded, but it's only so much on that I can say.

And with that, I know we got a big agenda, but if anybody wants to ask me anything, I'll I'm here.

I think I see uh at least one hand, but uh before we get to that, Chief.

Um I just want to highlight that you rolled out I I think it I think the acronym is DALE, and it's uh better screening for uh identifying high-risk domestic violence cases.

And could you speak to I mean I I I don't want to take words out of your mouth because frankly, how you know it it wouldn't really it wouldn't my understanding is it that it really unfortunately there are some cases that you just can't you can't predict even with even with a predictive model or even with uh Right, that's right, and that's why education is so important, so important to get uh uh uh uh victims of intermittent intimate partner uh violence, the education to know that the help is out there that you know call the police.

We're oftentimes the conduit for it, but if it's the first time we get the call is some tragic incident, obviously we're we're too late.

So yeah, it's the um uh um boy the DA.
