is celebrating 50 years of service to the citizens of the Township. On April 22, 1949, the Charter Township of Lansing voted to establish their own police department. The Township changed from a Constable form of policing to the hiring of two "traffic officers". The officers were deputized by the County Sheriff and were able to enforce both Township Ordinances and State Laws. The Police Department has grown from two officers driving a 1949 Ford Tutor, to 15 officers with 6 patrol cars. Township Police Officers continue to be deputized by the Ingham County Sheriff and provide 24 hour service, seven days a week.
