We were very happy to be invited by Kroger to participate in their Kroger Zero Hunger Emergency Food Drive! What a great way to spend a few hours. Thanks to all those that donated!Meridian Township Policehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06541993523152461237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586962210861573818.post-22939837755720923842018-10-24T16:54:00.000-04:002018-10-24T16:54:33.677-04:00

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Consumers Energy currently has a project at Okemos Rd and Mt
Hope in Okemos, which resulted in the closure of the northbound lanes of Okemos
Rd this morning. They are moving the poles supplying the main power
source to all of Meridian Township. They had anticipated the timeframe of
the lane closures to be 1-3 hours. Unfortunately, there were unforeseen
obstacles. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We were notified one of the northbound lanes have reopened
as of 1:15pm this afternoon. The other lane is expected to reopen
shortly. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The contractors advised us the southbound lanes of Okemos Rd
will be closed tomorrow from Mt Hope to Hamilton Rd around 8:30am. They
anticipate the lanes will reopen approximately 4:00pm. Motorists can
expect delays in this area. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We will communicate any potential schedule changes as we
receive them. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

the defense of their family and they train the people they care about in how to
use the firearm safely, and how to store it safely, but have you gone over with
your family on what to do if you have to use it to defend yourself? A recent story in Colorado (<a href="http://a.msn.com/01/en-us/BBLo7GQ?ocid=se">http://a.msn.com/01/en-us/BBLo7GQ?ocid=se</a>) </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">sparked a discussion about this matter and if
you’re honest I’m betting that most people haven’t thought as much about what
to do in the aftermath of a defensive shooting as they should. Dealing with the
aftermath of such an unfortunate situation should be a critical part of your
personal defense plan. To fail to consider it can place you in a good deal of
legal and physical danger.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 22.5pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Once the shooting is over, you should put your
gun away and call 9-1-1 immediately. When you call 9-1-1, you should give your
name and description, location and a very brief overview of what has just
occurred ("A man tried to rob me with a gun and I had to shoot him").
You should ask that an ambulance and law enforcement be dispatched right away.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 22.5pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">If it is safe to do so holster, or put your gun on the ground.
Police officers cannot tell the good guys from the bad guys by simply looking
at you. If they see a gun in your hand, they must assume that you represent a
threat to them. Also understand that in the aftermath of a shooting you may experience
auditory exclusion (you might not be able to hear the commands given to you by
police), so by not having a gun in your hand when the police arrive you won’t
accidentally point a gun at the police because you didn’t hear the noise of
their approach.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 22.5pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Keep in mind that the police
don't know what has happened and don't know the people involved, so don't be
surprised if you are ordered to lie face-down on the ground. If that happens,
you will more than likely be handcuffed as well. This doesn't mean that anyone
automatically thinks that you are guilty. What it means is that the police
officers are going to make sure that the trouble is over, and that no one else
is going to get hurt.</span></div>

simple, short article about a very complicated situation, but we think it’s a
good starting point for a discussion with your family or loved ones so that if

We receive a large number of questions about when fireworks can be used and where, so we've provided some information below that will hopefully help:<br />
<br />
Enforcement of fireworks complaints are necessary to address the quality of life concerns of<br />
our residents. The state law prohibits use on public property, school property, church property, and private property without the owner’s consent. State laws also prohibit sale of consumer fireworks to minors; use while under the influence; and specify criminal charges for use resulting in property damage, injury, or death.<br />
<br />
It is important to note that Williamstown Township has one local ordinance prohibiting<br />
fireworks in the Williamstown Township Parks. The absence of any other ordinance means<br />
that consumer fireworks are not restricted to specific holidays nor are the hours of use<br />
restricted. In contrast, it is a Civil Infraction to use fireworks in Meridian Township on any day<br />
other than the day before, day of, and day after a National Holiday. It is also a civil infraction<br />
to use consumer fireworks on specified National Holidays between the hours of 1:00 a.m.<br />
and 8:00 a.m.<br />
<br />
