🎃👻 TRICK OR TREAT! STAY SAFE OUT THERE! 🍬

Halloween should be fun, spooky, and SAFE!

Keep these quick tips in mind:
BE SEEN: Carry a flashlight and wear reflective gear.
CROSS SAFELY: Use crosswalks and look both ways.
STICK TOGETHER: Younger kids should stay with an adult.
CHECK YOUR CANDY: Inspect treats before eating.
STAY SMART: Only visit homes with lights on. Never enter a stranger's home.
SLOW DOWN: Drivers, watch carefully for trick-or-treaters!
KNOW WHEN TO CALL 9-1-1: Call for emergencies and know your location.

Have fun, stay safe, and have a SPOOKTACULAR Halloween! 🎃

We would like to thank the management at Grattan Raceway for allowing our entire department to undergo our Emergency Vehicle Operations (EVO) training this fall. This cycle is one of more than 36,000 hours of annual training we undergo as a department, and is usually a fan favorite 😁. This is also an initial introduction into the new Ford Explorer Hybrid Patrol Cruiser hitting the streets. The hybrid has come a long way as far as performance.

This is one of the “hot laps” we undergo to maintain our driving skills at higher speeds. We also conduct additional training on just parking and backing up in emergency situations and day to day operations, including scenarios. 🚓🚔

You may hear the banter between a couple lieutenants in the audio. Very common😆.

GRPD is aware of a post being shared on social media that claims there was a “gun battle” near Rosa Parks Circle/Van Andel Arena on Saturday night. The original poster even says “I can’t verify that but that’s the information I received.” To be clear, GRPD did not respond to any shooting/sound of gunshots Saturday night near Rosa Parks Circle or the Arena. There were no reports of the sound of shots anywhere in the city on Saturday night. There were no police officers or forensic technicians “collecting shells” on Sunday morning.

We encourage everyone to be cautious about sharing unverified information.
