** East Lansing Swears In New Police Chief Brown
------------------------------------------------------------

The City of East Lansing swore in Police Chief Jennifer Brown on May 29. Chief Brown is the second woman to lead the department in its 104-year history.

Chief Brown is a lifelong resident of the Lansing area and earned both undergraduate and master's degrees from Michigan State University. Her career began with the Michigan State University Police Department, where she served for more than 15 years. In December 2023, she joined the East Lansing Police Department as a deputy chief. Her focus includes strengthening department relationships with the East Lansing community and Michigan State University, streamlining patrol operations, emergency management and employee health and wellness.

Chief Brown served as a very special crossing guard at Marble Elementary School this week. She greeted students and their families while helping them safely cross the street. Please remember to S-L-O-W down in school zones and look out for each other.
