Police and Fire
The Lansing Police and Fire Departments consider themselves partners in building community, and they work hard to build relationships through communication and information. They release news to The Lansing Journal as a way of keeping Lansing residents aware and prepared, and also reassuring the community when criminals are apprehended.
