Reports a $28,441 State of Michigan grant under Public Act 416 for additional secondary-road patrol. Residents could request concentrated patrol by supplying an area, time and day of traffic problems, and suspect-vehicle descriptions; the release promises a later account of patrol hours, citations, warnings, and arrests. This is a reproduced press release, not a grant file, patrol log, or court record. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.
