Happy Birthday Rosa Parks
February 4, 1913 - October 24, 2005
Two heads are better than one. The combined efforts of the Inkster police department, the Inkster Auxiliary Police, the Michigan State Police, Wayne County Sheriff's Department, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the United States Marshals Service has been taking a bite out of crime in the city.
It was only a few months ago when the city of Inkster had an overwhelming increase in crime. Someone was getting shot each day. The citizens were in an uproar and held a town hall meeting to address their safety. Chief Gaskin had a vision to get a handle on this situation. He met with F/Lt. Roderick Williams of the Michigan State Police and organized a coordinated Warrant Sweep. The Sweep took place from Dec. 14 - Dec. 16 and during the sweep fifty-one (51) people with outstanding warrants were arrested. Chief Gaskin stated that, "The presence of all the police personnel on the streets on December 14 also resulted in a day without a crime on December 15."
During city council meeting on Monday, February 1, Police Chief Gaskin recognized Deputy Chief Watkins and Lt. Jeff Smith for working hard to execute a successful Warrant Sweep. Plaques were also presented to Lt. Williams from the Michigan State Police and Raphael Washington of the Wayne County Sheriff. Mayor Hampton thanked them for partnering with the City of Inkster. "We appreciate all you do and look forward to other opportunities that we can reach out to you."
During the meeting, Mayor Hilliard Hampton also swore in four new police officers and a new Auxiliary Chief; The new police officers were; William Ratliff, Terrell Shaw, Steve Mroczka and Harlen Robinson.
