Both departments really showed up to support the kids, running/walking a combined 1,825 miles. For those not aware, Flint to Key West is 1,550 miles!! That’s a lot of running and walking to show these amazing kids our support.

The Metro Police Authority is excited to announce we will be competing against the Grand Blanc Township Police Department in Camp Quality’s “Go Gold for the Kid’s 100 Mile Challenge” throughout the month of September (Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month). Both departments are competing to see which agency can run and/or walk the most miles throughout the month, not necessarily for bragging rights, but to show our support for all kids fighting cancer.

For those not familiar with Camp Quality, Camp Quality is a non profit organization that provides year round support for kids with cancer and their families, at no cost. Locally, Camp Quality has hosted a week long summer camp at Camp Copneconic for kids fighting cancer, providing them an opportunity where they can be a kid again.

Anyone interested in participating in the 5k event, click the provided link. www.runsignup.com/gogoldforthekids5k

With that, good luck to all the officers lacing up their shoes and hitting the road for these amazing kids!!

“Click It or Ticket” is a phrase many are familiar with and all should practice. Michigan law requires drivers, front-seat passengers, and passengers 15 and younger in any seating position to be buckled.

Michigan statistics from 2019 show, 217 people killed in traffic crashes were not wearing a seat belt.

To remind everyone about the importance of buckling up, the Metro Police Authority will be participating in the Office of Highway Safety Planning’s “Click It or Ticket” campaign in an effort to reduce traffic injuries and fatalities.

Buckle up, Michigan!!

Locally, there has been an increase in car larcenies and the Metro Police Authority wants to make sure you are taking the proper precautions so you are not a victim. Make sure your vehicle is locked if parked outside, day and night. Thieves work 24/7, so make sure your vehicle is always locked. Remove all valuables from within if possible. If a thief gets into your vehicle, they will find anything you’re hiding. Finally, turn your porch lights on at night. A majority of car larcenies occur during the overnight hours, so turn your lights on to deter thieves.

Please follow these simple suggestions and avoid the headache of having your vehicle broken into and your property stolen.

Please do not fall for these schemes. Check in with elderly parents to make sure they know about this current scheme.

Scammers are currently targeting our area, with the “grandson in jail” scam! In recent days we have received two complaints, from township residents. Unfortunately, one victim fell for the scam and lost money.
The caller claims to be a grandchild, who has been arrested. They say bond money is needed to get out of jail. The “attorney” gets on the phone and gives instructions to the victim. The unique twist to the recent calls is, the victim is told, someone will come to their home to pick up the money. That is what occurred in the one case.
If you receive such a call, please notify police immediately! Please speak with elderly family, friends and neighbors and warn them of the scam.

Thank you Meijer Hill and Morrish Road stores for the goodies. What a great partnership they are for communities with all they do for so many organizations

Covid-19 and a global pandemic could not stop the Metro Police Authority, the Swartz Creek Fire Department, and Meijer from continuing the long standing tradition of “Shop with a Hero”. This year, 10 families from the community were selected to participate, with each child in the home filling out a “Wish List” of gifts for themselves and those in their family. Meijer provided the gifts on each child’s list and a meal for the entire family. The “Heroes” then delivered the gifts and meals to the kids and their families at their homes.

THANK YOU, Meijer, for your extreme generosity and giving these kids a Christmas they will never forget.

Michigan can be Winter Wonderland, bringing with it icy and snowy roads. As a friendly reminder, slow down and drive at a safe speed for the road conditions. Just because the speed limit says you can go a certain speed, doesn’t mean you should when the roads are bad. Slow down and drive safe!!

12/08/2020

Let’s face it, 2020 has been a hard year and unlike any other, but that doesn’t give anyone an excuse to drink and drive.

Throughout the month of December, Officers at the Metro Police Authority will be participating in the Office of Highway Safety Planning OWI grant in an effort to keep drunk drivers off the road and our streets safe.

Be safe and make the right decision by driving sober or having a designated driver. Don’t ruin your life or the life of another.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at the Metro Police Authority!!!

At the beginning of September, The Metro Police Authority (MPA) teamed up with Camp Quality and their “Go Gold for the Kids” race, where a 100 Mile Challenge was created by members of the MPA. The challenge was initiated to bring awareness to Pediatric Cancer and to show support to all the kids who are fighting, or have fought, this terrible disease.

Throughout the month of September, Officers and staff of the MPA logged close to 600 miles with Sgt. Todd Johnson, Detective Ryan Ortiz, Officer Nicole Gillett, Evidence Tech Lynn Davis, and Father Geromel each recording 100 miles individually.

Security Credit Union (SCU) generously sponsored the 100 Mile Challenge and created a trophy to recognize the participants who completed the 100 miles. SCU went even further than sponsoring the race and provided a pizza lunch for the whole department in recognition of the departments participants. THANK YOU, SCU, for your sponsorship and helping us bring awareness to Pediatric Cancer.

MPA will be back at it again next September and hope to be challenging other departments in running “100 miles for the kids”.
