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

<strong>Wyoming</strong> <strong>Police</strong> <strong>Department</strong> Annual Report WYPD 2003<br />
Introduction<br />
Each year the <strong>Wyoming</strong> <strong>Police</strong> <strong>Department</strong> prepares an annual report <strong>of</strong><br />
crime statistics for the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Wyoming</strong>, the Michigan Incident Crime<br />
Reporting (MICR) and the Federal Bureau <strong>of</strong> Investigation Uniform Crime<br />
Report (UCR). This data is compiled from <strong>of</strong>fenses reported to the WYPD,<br />
monthly police reports and individual crime incident reports.<br />
The primary objective <strong>of</strong> this annual report is to provide a reliable set <strong>of</strong><br />
criminal justice statistics for police administration, operation, and<br />
management. The localized study <strong>of</strong> crime data enables personnel to<br />
assess the influence <strong>of</strong> crime on districts, neighborhoods, and people.<br />
Similarly, crime statistics permit analysis among neighboring jurisdictions,<br />
and with those <strong>of</strong> similar populations and other characteristics. A broad<br />
examination <strong>of</strong> the crime data allows individuals to view the nature and<br />
movement <strong>of</strong> crime, underlying changes, and fluctuations throughout the <strong>City</strong><br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>Wyoming</strong>, the State <strong>of</strong> Michigan, and the United States.<br />
The WYPD is committed to improving the reliability and validity <strong>of</strong> our crime<br />
reporting data. We are attempting to achieve this goal by study and analysis<br />
<strong>of</strong> major crime indexes, and understanding the impact <strong>of</strong> classification<br />
revisions mandated by the State. As a result, some <strong>of</strong>fense categories have<br />
decreased, while others increased. Our efforts are providing a reporting<br />
system that will be more accurate, valid, reliable, and compatible with State<br />
and Federal standards.<br />

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

CRIMINAL OPERATIONS:<br />
� Members <strong>of</strong> WYNET and WANT use<br />
the most up-to-date technology<br />
available to them to assist them in<br />
addressing criminal activities in their<br />
assigned areas. With this<br />
information, whether individually or<br />
as a team, they have made a<br />
significant impact on criminal activity<br />
in their districts through directed<br />
patrol, plain-clothes surveillance, foot<br />
patrols and bike patrol. Information<br />
received from the public remains one<br />
<strong>of</strong> the most vital tools in combating<br />
criminal activity.<br />
� WYNET maintains a close working<br />
relationship with the <strong>Wyoming</strong> Area<br />
Narcotics Team assisting them with<br />
ongoing investigations. Together<br />
they targeted drug dealers and<br />
prostitutes using motels in the 28th<br />

operation for their activities. Search<br />
warrants were conducted and arrests<br />
were made. Word traveled quickly<br />

conduct their criminal activities such<br />
as these.<br />
