Residents press council on police presence; Ferrysburg schedules police commission meeting
Summary
A resident told council he had not seen a cruiser in town during recent visits and asked why; council agreed to schedule a police commission meeting and invite sheriff/lieutenant to discuss local policing and service levels.
A resident raised concerns that Ferrysburg had not seen a police cruiser during multiple recent visits and asked the council why police were not visible, noting the city pays for policing. The resident said he spent eight hours over three days in Ferrysburg without seeing a cruiser and asked for an explanation and for the council to bring the issue before law enforcement leadership.
Council said it will schedule a police commission meeting to discuss service with the sheriff and will invite a lieutenant to appear before council after that commission meeting. Staff said the delay in scheduling was due to coordinating many participants' schedules; no formal resolution or vote on policing levels was taken at the meeting.
