In spite of a weather forecast
that called for rain and wind,
more than 500 people came out
to enjoy the Easter Egg Hunt
sponsored by the Unity in the
Community Campaign of the
Inkster TaskForce recently.
Children and their parents
enjoyed food, face painting,
Legoland building activities
complements of Chris Thomas,
Easter egg hunts, arts and crafts,
entertainment by Smiley the
Clown and prizes. The record
breaking event took placeMarch
31 at the Inkster Recreation
Complex. According to Connie
R. Mitchell of the Inkster Task
Force, there had never been so
many members of the communi-
ty present to enjoy the festivities.
More than 100 volunteers
helped make the event run
smoothly.
The Unity in the Community
Campaign is a part of the work
of the Inkster Task Force which
seeks to unite organizations in
the city to have greater impact
on the community, Mitchell said.
“Ourmotto is better together”.
Partnering in the Easter
event were St. Clements
Episcopal Church of Inkster, the
City of Inkster Parks and
Recreation
Department,
StarfishFamily Services, Inkster
Police Department Community
Liaison Division, Service
Builders Foundation (a 501c3
affiliate of the Eta Iota Omega
Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha
Sorority, Inc.), Operation
Refuge/Mother's Pantry, Inkster
Community Foundation and the
Inkster Housing Residents'
Council. The Michigan Metro
Chapter of Top Teens of
America and Middle Belt
Baptist Church-Inkster provided
volunteer services throughout
the day. The Steering Committee
included Carolyn Smith, Inkster
Police Ofc. Andrea Lebo,
Evonne Moore, LaShell Warner,
Gennifer Williams, Father Ellis
Clifton, Craig Lewis, Opal
Nolen, Mable Stroman and
Mitchell.
The highlight of the day was
the marshmallow drop by heli-
copter, a first for the city.
“The excitement was palpa-
ble as they stood in the sprinkle
of rain and wind waiting on the
helicopter arrival,” Mitchell
said. “When it did, cheers from
the crowd went up and shortly
after, all were allowed to turn in
their marshmallows for gifts and
candy. The committee said that
all the hard work was worth it to
see the smiles and hear the gig-
gles coming from all who attend-
ed,” she added.
The next event being planned
by the Campaign Committee is
the Backpack Episcopalooza
scheduled for Aug. 18 in Inkster.
Upon completion of a week
long review, the Westland Police
Department has upheld the stan-
dards of its Commission on
Accreditation
for
Law
Enforcement Agencies, Inc.
(CALEA) certification. Westland
Police earned their initial
CALEA certification in April of
2016, becoming only the sixth
department in the State of
Michigan to pass certification
standards, according to informa-
tionprovidedby the city.
Each year the process for
ensuring standards are upheld
becomes more detailed and the
expectations increase, a city
spokesperson said. The initial
accreditation is good for four
years, but the department is sub-
ject to annual reviews to ensure
compliance.
This year the independent
review was conducted by
Compliance Service Manager
John Sofie who retired from the
Renton, Washington Police
Department. Sofie reported that
the Westland Police Department
was in full compliance with the
reviewed standards and report-
ed there were no compliance
issues.
“I am extremely proud of our
staff,” commented Westland
Police Chief, Jeff Jedrusik. “This
is not an easy process and fewer
than 5 percent of the entire coun-
try's law enforcement agencies
have been able to accomplish
this task.”
Since the first CALEA
Accreditation Award was grant-
ed in 1984, the program has
become the primary method for
an agency to voluntarily demon-
strate their commitment to excel-
lence in law enforcement. The
standards upon which the Law
Enforcement Accreditation
Program is based reflect the cur-
rent thinking and experience of
law enforcement practitioners
and researchers, according to
the program website. Major law
enforcement associations, lead-
ing educational and training
institutions, governmental agen-
cies, as well as law enforcement
executives internationally,
acknowledgeCALEA's Standards
for Law Enforcement Agencies
and its Accreditation Programs
as benchmarks for professional
lawenforcement agencies.
“The Westland Police
Department continues to demon-
strate professional excellence,”
commented Mayor William R.
Wild. “I commend Police Chief
Jedrusik and the entire depart-
ment for continuing to operate at
this International Gold Standard
for lawenforcement agencies.”
