| 2015-01-07 |
Detroit — Police are warning officers and anyone else displaying bumper stickers supporting law enforcement about a reported threat that gang members may tamper with their vehicles.
Detroit Police Second Deputy Chief James Fleming, head of the Communications Bureau, on Dec. 30 sent a departmentwide teletype warning officers: “According to a credible source ... gang members — notably those in large metropolitan areas — plan to loosen the lug nuts on officers’ personnel vehicles displaying Law Enforcement/Police Benevolent Association/Fraternal Order of Police plates or stickers.
“Officers are encouraged to continue to be extremely vigilant and exercise caution before operating any vehicle that carries a law enforcement affiliation, particularly if they have been away from their vehicle for an extended period of time,” Fleming wrote. |
