in 2007 and we downsized to 275.
After attrition and buyouts, we
then had to lay off 10 police offi-
cers, but we have been able to
bring them back and we started
the Police Service Aide program
that year.”
Miller said the department
assigned the service aides to
duties that did not require a
sworn officer which allowed for
more police officers on patrol
and “on the street.”
Burglaries in the city have
decreased from362 in 2013 to 300
last year while larcenies have
decreased from 1,358 to 1,249
during the past three years.
Thefts of motor vehicles
decreased from a rate of 234.7 to
195.3. The robbery rate in 2013 in
the city was 112.7 per 100,000
population which decreased to
an 83.0 rate in 2016. Aggravated
assaults decreased from 203 to
166 during the same time frame.
The overall violent crimes
reported in the city went from
366 in 2013 to 298 last year, a
decrease in the statistical rate
from443.3 to 365.1.
“Every city experiences crime
in one way or another. Whether
the city chooses to hide it or
shares it, is up to the individual
city. The Westland Police
Department is and will always be
transparent. We share informa-
tion andwork with our communi-
ty to solve crime. What separates
the Westland Police Department
from some other agencies is our
incredible ability to solve crimes
and arrest perpetrators. Our
results are part our ability to
work with our community and
also the hard work and dedica-
tion of the staff that we employ,”
said Westland Chief of Police Jeff
Jedrusik.
Miller said that currently,
Westland employs 21 police serv-
ice aides who work inside the jail
and perform other duties that
were formerly done by sworn
officers.
“With this program, we were
able to move one more officer to
roadpatrol per shift,”Miller said.
“We now have a total of 81
sworn police officers along with
the 21 aides, so this is a very large
department,” Miller said. Those
officers serve a reported popula-
tion of 81,625 while in Livonia,
where the population is 95,888
there are 150 sworn officers,
according to the official city web-
site.
“The statistics don't lie,” Wild
said. “Our police department
does a great job. My opponent is
pushing a false narrative. If you
look at the data, his perception
doesn't fit reality.”
Dewey Reeves has been
elected as the president of the
Westland Police and Fire Civil
ServiceCommission.
Reeves was appointed to the
commission by Mayor William
R. Wild in July of 2017 for a 6-
year term and was elected to
his new post during balloting

with his wife, Gail, for 24 years.
He served as a Washtenaw
County Sheriff and retired after
32 years with the department.

CityCouncil from2007 to 2016.
“A respected and highly-
skilled professional, Dewey has
committed the majority of his
life to public service,” noted
Wild. “His election as president
of the commission is well
deserved as he has shown
exemplary leadership through-
out his life.”
“I am humbled and appreci-
ated to be elected to the posi-
tion of president of the Police
and Fire Civil Service
Commission,” commented
Reeves.
“My objective is to continue
to select the best qualified can-
didates for both the police and
fire departments and to pro-
vide the citizens of Westland
