Governor delivers tributes to MSU shooting First Responders, Dispatchers, medical professionals

Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced she will be delivering tributes to 25 public safety agencies, 9-1-1 Dispatchers and Sparrow Hospital medical professionals for their critical lifesaving response to the Michigan State University shooting.

MAP-represented unit, Livingston County Sheriff's Lieutenants, is among the agencies recognized for acting to secure Michigan State’s campus and save lives while medical professionals are working to treat the five students who were injured in the Feb. 13 shooting. The public safety and medical professionals worked together in response to a gunman who opened fire at Michigan State University (MSU) killing three students and injuring five others.

"I want to thank the first responders for their swift actions to keep people safe and save lives,” Whitmer said. "Officers answered the call from hours away and put their lives on the line to secure campus and so many off-duty nurses and doctors showed up to Sparrow to volunteer that they had to turn people away. These Michiganders are the best of us and their heroism deserves recognition. Together, we will support the MSU community and tackle gun violence, which is a top public safety and public health priority. I look forward to working with our first responders and health care professionals to pursue commonsense reform and save lives.”

Law Enforcement fatalities drop 61% compared to 2021, firearms deaths remain high

Excerpted from National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund and 2022 End-of-Year Preliminary Law Enforcement Officers Fatalities Report

Overall Law Enforcement line-of-duty deaths dropped by 61 percent when compared to 2021’s record number, however firearms-related deaths remain high, according to the 2022 End-of-Year Preliminary Law Enforcement Officers Fatalities Report.Logo NLEOMF Round fw

As of Dec. 31, 2022, 226 officers died in the line-of-duty compared to 586 in 2021. The dramatic decrease in fatalities is almost entirely attributable to declines in COVID-19 deaths, according to the report, issued by National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund (NLEOMF). Seventy officers died as a result of contracting COVID-19 while executing official duties in 2022 compared to 405 who died from the disease in 2021, an 83 percent decline.

However, COVID-19 remains the number one cause of law enforcement deaths in 2022, according to the report.

“While America’s law enforcement officers are still battling the deadly effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a significant reduction in such overall deaths, likely attributed to reduced infection rates and the broad availability and use of vaccinations,” according to the report.

Firearms-related fatalities claimed 64 officers in 2022, which mirrors firearms-related deaths in 2021. This is a significant increase over the past decade. Both years represent a 21 percent rise in firearms fatalities compared to the average of 53 deaths from 2010-2020.

“While overall line-of-duty deaths are trending down,” said National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund CEO Marcia Ferranto, “the continuing trend of greater-than-average firearms-related deaths continues to be a serious concern. Using and reporting on this data allows us to highlight the continuing cost of maintaining our democracy, regrettably measured in the lives of the many law enforcement professionals who sacrifice everything fulfilling their promise to serve and protect.”

Nearly $25 million in grant funding awarded to hire 195 Michigan School Resource Officers

Nearly $25 million in grant funding has been awarded to 195 school districts, intermediate school districts, and public-school academies to support hiring 195 School Resource Officers (SROs) in Michigan for the next three years.

“Every parent wants their kids to be safe at school,” said Governor Gretcher Whitmer. “These grants will help us hire almost 200 more School Resource Officers so we can make sure our children, teacher, and staff are safe at school. Let’s keep working together to make record investments in our students and improve their classroom experience, build up school infrastructure, hire excellent educators, and invest in their comprehensive well-being, from mental health to safety.” 

More than 334,000 Michigan students will benefit from improved safety and security provided by these Law Enforcement Officers. 

The grants were awarded by a panel consisting of representatives from education and policing. They gave priority to schools and school districts lacking a School Resource Officer and schools from more communities with lower student enrollment and less total per pupil funding. These funds administered by the Michigan State Police (MSP), Grants and Community Services Division, may be used to support salaries, benefits and training for SROs. Each applicant jurisdiction is required to provide a 50 percent match.  

“These grant awards will not only help to provide better safety in our school buildings by increasing the number of schools throughout the state with at least one SRO, but very importantly, by prioritizing smaller schools in more remote areas, we will reduce the time it takes for a police response in the event of an emergency,” said MSP Director Col. Joe Gasper.  

In June, Gov. Whitmer signed legislation that fully funds risk assessments and critical incidence mapping at every school in the state to help protect students and create safety plans in the event of an emergency.
