Commissioners Minutes Continued April 9, 1975 182
WHEREAS over the past 22 month Oakland County has been the scene of four other parolee
related homicides involving an Oak Park police officer, a Northville store owner and two young
Oakland County females; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Prosecutor has been in the forefront of the fight to change
the policies and the procedures of the Michigan Parole Board which permits, through said policies,
the premature release of dangerous felons on early parole; and
WHEREAS legislation has been proposed in the Michigan House and Michigan Senate to restrict
the authority of the Michigan Parole Board to release certain dangerous felons before the expiration
of the felon's minimum prison term; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners is sincerely interested in the safety of
the residents of Oakland County and agree that parole reform is necessary;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that this Commission go on record in support of the nearly
two-year fight waged by the Oakland County Prosecutor to bring about parole reform through the
legislative process; and

dangerous felons before the expiration of the felon's prison term.
