Do you Know the Signs of Human Trafficking?

Human trafficking, a crime involving the exploitation of someone for the purposes of compelled labor or a commercial sex act using force, fraud or coercion, happens in urban, suburban and rural towns everywhere, including here in Michigan.

In recognition of January being National Human Trafficking Awareness Month, D/Sgt. Les Rochefort discusses the signs and misconceptions of human trafficking in this informational video [ [link removed] ].

From the Upper Peninsula to Ukraine, Jenny Stoudt Helps Those in Need

When Jenny Stoudt, a senior executive management assistant with the MSP, first applied to the department 18 years ago, she was looking for a way to move to the U.P. As she got to know the department, she discovered the MSP culture was a great fit for her. Being part of the MSP is both meaningful and a match for what she wants to do with her life: help those who cannot help themselves.

With the help of friends, Jenny has collected cash, first aid kits, and medical and humanitarian donations to support those in war-torn Ukraine. Over $300,000 worth of donations has been delivered over the course of 10 trips, including one trip Jenny personally made this past fall.

Safe a Life, Give a Lane.

Move Over

Every year, police officers, firefighters, tow truck drivers and other emergency responders are injured or killed when motorists fail to move over or slow down for them on the road.

Michigan law [ [link removed] ] requires drivers to slow down and move over for stationary emergency vehicles with activated lights. If moving over isn’t possible, you must reduce your speed by at least 10 mph below the posted limit and pass cautiously, giving as much space as possible.

The law applies to these authorized emergency vehicles:
• Police
• Fire
• Rescue
• Ambulance
• Road service, including tow trucks and safety service vehicles operated by the Michigan Department of Transportation.

By slowing down and moving over, you can help make our roads safer for everyone.
