OF o' DANIEL 1 0 M V Rl H 1 ,7z ; Oakland County Executive v ly r'�� ��N a WILLIAM M. SPINELLI Deputy County Executive DEPARTMENT OF CENTRAL SERVICES - SECURITY DIVISION Glen M. Dick Donald K. Kratt Department Director Chief November 1, 1977 Mr, Eric Reickel, Director Oakland County Parks & Recreation 2800 Watkins Lake Rd. Pontiac, Michigan Dear Mr. Reickel- With reply to the Honorable Judge G,E, McNally's letter dated October 20, 1977, questioning the adoption of the Michigan Motor Vehicle Code for the County Security Division to administer within the parks we feel it is necessary and a beneficial move to all personnel concerned. Judge McNally posed many questions: (1) Is -the present security inadequate? We of course feel it is not, The adoption of the Motor Vehicle Code will merely give our department the authority which it needs and is not covered under the park rules and regulations, (2) If we emphasize traffic enforcement will other areas be ignored? We are not emphasizing traffic enforcement over our other duties, Currently; we can not cite individuals for Careless or Reckless Driving or arrest for driving under the influence of alcoholic beverages. We are not going to neglect our other duties, but wish to be able to handle these situations accordingly when they arise, (3) Should the Commission adopt the entire State Motor Vehicle Code or certain provisions? Oakland County Courthouse, 1200 North Telegraph Road, Pontiac, Michigan 48053 (313) 858-0931 Th-e en.ti:re code should be adopted to allow for the growth"of the parks,, To research the Vehicle Code and adopt certain prov%si'ons would require tremendous research and man hours and would constantly require updating as the park system grows, (4) Would adoption increase police visibility to an undesirable point? Our personnel are trained through the Michigan Law Enforcement Officers Training Council and meet all the re- quirements emposed by the Council, We do not intend to harrass people sitting in a vehicle with a beer because their picnic was rained on as Judge McNally has indicated, We do not discourage people from coming to the parks or administer undue justice, If this were true, we are sure that the Parks Commission would no longer find a need for our services, (5) Will adoption assist in clearing up heavy traffic congestion? Yes, We have in the past experienced some people disregarding rules inside the parks because they are aware our officers are not empowered to enforce such rules, Adoption of the Motor Vehicle Code would help aleviate this, (6) Should inquiry be made as to why the Department of Natural Resources has remained on substantially the same level as the County Security Division? Inquiries have been made into this comparison, DNR Park Rangersareexperiencing unsurmountable problems because they are not vested with authority to act on incidents which occur directly in front of them; Examplet Careless, or Reckless Driving, (7) Park Security should never reach the level where it can handle any emergency situation, This would be too great a burden on the tax payer, Sheriff or State Police are available for emergency situations, Security should handle the usual or routine problems, We contend that the burden would be on the taxpayers when a Sheriff's deputy or State trooper is pulled from his assigned area to handle a problem which our personnel are fully capable of handling but cannot due to the lack of authority, We do not know of any department which is equipped to handle any emergency situation. We have in the past, and will continue to request assistance from other departments when additional help and expertise are required, Our primary duty in the parks are to keep them safe so people may bring their families into them without worry or fear from undesirable people who would tend to degrade our parks system, The adoption of the Motor Vehicle Code in its entirety was a wise and just decision made by the Parks Commission and I commend them for their awareness of the problem and the course of action which they chose. Resp ctfully, Donald K. Kratt, Chief Oakland County Security D K K i s g GERALD E. McNALLY DISTRICT JUDGE ,vistri # Lfouxt for the (fountg of (Pakland 5871 DIXIE HIGHWAY P.O. BOX 626 WATERFORD, MICHIGAN 48095 October 20, 1977 Mr. Eric R. Reickel, Director Oakland County Parks & Recreation 2800 Watkins Lake Road Pontiac, Michigan 48054 Dear Mr. Reickel: FIFTY SECOND DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN 2ND DIVISION On Monday, October 17, 1977, I discussed with Eric R. Reickel, Director, the proposal to expand the function of the Oakland County Security Division by adopting the Michigan State Motor Vehicle Code as a County Park Rule. This adoption would allow the County Security Division to enforce the entire Motor Vehicle Code in addition to the present Park Rules and Regulations. The present Park Rules and Regulations control all activities in the parks and not just traffic. They control wildlife, fires, property, camping, and a whole host of other things. The Commission is faced with just one question: How will the adoption of the gate Motor Vehicle Code effect the park system --will adoption be an advantage or disadvantage to the park system? Ordinarily increased law enforcement and police visibility is an advantage. However, such is not necessarily the case in regard to a park. Parks present a peculiar problem in that they are like a college or university in that high police visibility would be stifling or counter -productive to the purpose of a park, yet the least disorder or crime will throw the park into a tailspin. continued-- JAkLAN,U �_.ouwY oAftkS & RECREATION COM L MT 2 1 %7i RECEIVED +K. - Page Two Mr. Eric R. Reickel October 20, 1977 Several things you should consider: 1) Is the present park security inadequate, if so, would adoption of the State Motor Vehicle Code remove that inadequacy? 2) If we emphasize traffic enforcement will the many other areas of law enforcement be ignored? 3) Should the Commission adopt the entire State Motor Vehicle Code or adopt certain provisions? There are some law enforcement problems peculiar to parks, for example, Michigan Law prohibits open beer in a vehicle, however, if a picnic in a park were suddenly rained upon, you might all of a sudden find alot of open beer in cars. Also, due to swimming or tennis activities some drivers might not have a driver's license on them at that particular time. 4) Would adoption increase police visibility to an undesirable point? 5) Will adoption assist in clearing up heavy traffic congestion as stated by Chief Kratt in his letter of September 19, 1977? 6) Should inquiry be made as to why the Dept. of Natural Resources has remained on the substant- ially the same level of law enforcement in the State Parks as the County Security Division is in the County Parks? 7) Park security should never reach the level where it could handle any emergency situation. This would be too great a burden upon the tax- payer. The County Sheriff and State Police are available for the emergency situation. Park security should handle all the usual or routine problems.
