密歇根州公告全国急救人员日：犯罪率降至七年最低、暴力犯罪较2021年降逾40%
密歇根州 Lansing——州长 Gretchen Whitmer 与副州长 Garlin Gilchrist 10月28日发布公告，纪念全国急救人员日，向全州警察、消防员、急救医疗人员等一线人员致谢；公告同时列出该州近年公共安全数据：全州犯罪率降至七年最低，暴力犯罪较2021年下降逾40%。
据州长办公室公布的数据，密歇根州近年已有逾1000支非法枪支被收缴下街，抢劫案减少一半；州政府近年累计投入近20亿美元用于公共安全，包括支持地方警力、消防与急救服务。
Whitmer 说，急救人员「在密歇根人最艰难的时刻挺身而出」，州政府有责任确保他们有安全高效履职所需的资源、训练与支持。Gilchrist 说，急救人员是社区力量的重要支柱——邻居们在紧急时刻指望的人、节假日与夜班坚守的人。州警察局长 James F. Grady II 上校说：「他们常常在人们最糟糕的日子里与人相遇。」州长办公室列出的历年投入还包括：八个跨党派预算累计近20亿美元公共安全经费、6,940万美元社区暴力干预资金、州警预算持续投入增加逾2.5亿美元、州警与警长自2025年10月1日起加薪20%，以及「安全社区行动」（Operation Safe Neighborhoods）收缴逾1,000支非法枪支、为执法人员扩配随身摄像头与降级处置培训等。
Michigan Marks National First Responders Day: Crime Falls to Seven-Year Low, Violent Crime Down Over 40% Since 2021
Lansing, Michigan — Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Lieutenant Governor Garlin Gilchrist issued a proclamation on October 28 marking National First Responders Day, thanking the state's police officers, firefighters, emergency medical personnel, and other frontline workers. The announcement also cited the state's recent public safety numbers: Michigan's crime rate has fallen to its lowest level in seven years, and violent crime is down more than 40% since 2021.
According to figures released by the governor's office, more than 1,000 illegal guns have been taken off Michigan streets in recent years and robberies have been cut in half. The state has invested nearly $2 billion in public safety in recent years, including support for local police, fire, and emergency medical services.
Whitmer and Gilchrist used the proclamation to thank first responders, and Michigan State Police Director Colonel James F. Grady II also commented. All three officials said the state will continue investing in public safety and supporting the personnel who work on the front lines of their communities.
"This National First Responders Day, we recognize the brave men and women who show up for Michiganders in some of their most difficult moments," Governor Whitmer said, adding that the state has a responsibility to give responders the resources, training and support they need. Lt. Governor Gilchrist called first responders "the people our neighbors count on in an emergency." State Police Director Col. James F. Grady II said troopers "often meet people on their worst days." The governor’s office listed nearly $2 billion in public-safety investment across eight bipartisan budgets, $69.4 million for community violence intervention, more than $250 million in added ongoing State Police investment, a 20% pay raise for troopers and sergeants that began October 1, 2025, and Operation Safe Neighborhoods, which has taken over 1,000 illegal guns off the street.
