Drive By In Inkster

[roadman1977]

I was listening to my scanner this morning and heard that there was a drive by (someone fired a automatic weapon at a house and shot it up) in the area of Middlebelt and Annapolis, while this is not unusual in Inkster I thought it was neat the way law enforcement works together. Right after Inkster police arrived and got all the info a BOL was put out and I heard Garden City, Westland, Plymouth and Dearborn annouce the BOL. About 45 minutes after the BOL Dearborn had the vehicle that was involved in the drive by stopped at Michigan and Outer Dr, I thought to myself, wow that was quick!! Dearborn quicky arrested the subjects and held them until Inkster picked them up. That was good police work in my opinion. Dearborn and Plymouth do not operate on the Western Wayne Mutual Aid System, one would think that would have made communications even quicker.

Inkster broadcasted the information right away to area departments on 155.370 Intercity. Likewise, a more concise BOL was sent out over the LEIN System, after more facts about the suspects and vehicle were obtained. This alerted area departments who passed the information along to their units, even by MDCs. Subsequently, this lead to their capture in Dearborn. Great team work when you think about it!

Probably not any quicker since all the PD's would be on different TG's. Some cities use the computers to send out BOL's so the PO's don't have to write it down and only put it over the air to alert them. Sound like they got them before the could duck into Detroit.
