The Lansing city council has decided not to include a proposed police funding cut in its budget recommendation to the mayor.

The city of Lansing is getting an assist from Grand Rapids in its efforts to address racial justice and equity issues.

The city of Lansing hosted an online town hall Thursday to gather public input on funding the Lansing Police Department. 

The Lansing city council heard more than two hours of public comment during a meeting Monday night over a proposal to cut the city’s police budget in half over five years.

The Lansing Police Department says it will no longer stop drivers for traffic violations that do not pose a threat to public safety. 

It’s been a month since a White Minneapolis police officer killed George Floyd.

Discussion during a Black Lives Matter Lansing webinar Wednesday night was dominated by criticism over the city’s police budget and a call for Lansing Mayor Andy Schor’s resignation.
