Ingham County, MI upgrades 911 central dispatch system to better pinpoint callers exact locations

Ingham County 911 Central Dispatch is upgrading its system by utilizing Rapid SOS software and the "what3words" application to pinpoint the location of callers. The Rapid SOS software supplies emergency responders with more specific caller location information than cell phone providers. The "what3words" application divides the world into 10 feet by 10 feet square areas and assigns each area three specific words so callers can share their three words location via GPS services on their phone.

Ingham County, MI prosecutors will not pursue criminal charges for non-public-safety traffic stops

The Ingham County Prosecutor's Office will no longer pursue criminal charges for individuals pulled over in traffic stops not related to public safety. The new policy reduces the incentives for officers to conduct traffic stops for small offenses such as broken taillights or expired plates. The policy was designed to reduce the overall number of traffic stops, the number of potentially violent situations for officers, and racially biased traffic stops.
