JACKSON NATIONAL EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR Deputy Rob Gengler Deputy Rob Gengler has been employed with the Ingham County Sheriff s Office since July 2003 and during that time has worked the Housing Unit, Lobby, Post 10, and Receiving. Rob is currently assigned as the Inmate Worker Coordinator. Deputy Gengler is a dependable, adaptable and professional member of this organization. He is well respected by his peers and always displays a positive attitude and exceptional work ethic. Rob often comes in early or stays late to ensure that the Corrections and Field Services Units are well supplied with all that they need to functional well during their shifts. Going outside of his duties readily volunteers to do hospital guard duties to free up other staffs who are struggling with medical needs of the inmates. Without fail, Dep Gengler regularly puts the needs of the agency and his coworkers above his own in order to accomplish the mission and objectives of the Ingham County Sheriff s Office. Last year Deputy Gengler procured millions of dollars of free military equipment to be used throughout our department. Some of the items he has been able to locate include blankets and towels for inmate use; a Ford Box truck, mustang survival suits, cold weather gear and even C-bag back packs for the Corrections Deputies. Other finds such as office furniture, file cabinets and computers have saved the County hundreds of thousands of dollars which has allowed the budget to be used in other areas of need within the Sheriff s Office. A couple of large ticket items that Rob has secured were a John Deere Gator and a Polaris Razor. Deputy Gengler has had to travel many hours to other states to acquire the surplus that has become a part of the ICSO inventory. Deputy Gengler is also one of our firearms instructors and has trained many staff on gun safety and tactics. As an instructor, he teaches CPR and First Aid as a part of our annual required training. Rob is distinguished member of the Honor Guard, representing the Sheriff s Office in honor of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. Deputy Robert Gengler s dedication, selflessness, and devotion to his job and fellow deputies epitomize the best that we could expect from an exemplary employee. For the reasons stated above, we present the 2015 Employee of the Year Award to Deputy Robert Gengler. 6

Deputy Holmes has earned the title Inmate Whisperer in Corrections because he is always cool, calm and collected, even in the most stressful of situations, he remains calm. The inmates find it difficult to disrespect Deputy Holmes because of how respectful he is to them. When you talk to his Command staff they have said, quote, that Deputy Holmes is truly something to behold, the guy is just solid and you won t find anybody that is as dedicated as he is. Deputy Holmes is always there to answer the call to come in on his day off, sacrificing time away from his family to come in and help.

All of the hard work and training payed off this year with numerous apprehensions. The value of a well-trained canine team often goes unnoticed but can be easily realized when you consider what an apprehension does for the victim of a crime, the amount of investigative time it saves and the crime it may prevent. In the case of one of our crash victims from 2015 it proved that our canines can save lives. We continued to have multiple K-9 presentations and school sweeps throughout the school year. These K-9 team contacts are a great way to keep our schools safe and improve our agencies relationship with the public.

Police Department, Ionia County Sheriff s Office Portland Police Department and the FBI met to discusses cases and formulate a plan to identify additional subjects, located equipment being used to illegally obtain credit card information, recover property and charge those involved. 28
Ingham County Detectives made contact with the victims, financial institutions and businesses throughout Michigan where the cloned credit cards were used. During intelligence gathering, we observed one of the suspects wearing items purchased with cloned credit cards on his Facebook page. A list of items purchased was created and listed in a search warrant which was executed. Most of the items were recovered at the suspect s residence in North Lansing. Also recovered in the backyard of the home was a plastic shopping bag containing additional stolen gift cards. In the shed, a backpack containing a skimming device was located. With the help of the FBI we were able to link these individuals to a large group of individuals from Miami, Florida.

ICSO has one detective assigned as a liaison for the multiple agencies that participate, including Lansing Police Department, East Lansing Police Department, Michigan State University Police Department, Eaton County Sheriff s Office, FBI and ATF. The Violent Crimes Initiative focuses on identifying, investigating and prosecuting offenders involved in violent offenses, including weapons offenses, homicides, and armed robberies. The members of the VCI have evidence to show violent offenders are mobile and operate within multiple jurisdictions and there is a need to share and collaborate with other jurisdictions to successfully apprehend and prosecute these extremely violent offenders. HIGHLIGHTS:. VCI investigators working with ATF agents began investigating a criminal gang called the Black P Stones. The gang had local connections to the Lansing area. VCI investigators working with Federal Authorities indicted several people for various narcotics and firearms violations in the Federal Court specifically the Western District of Michigan. The leader of the Lansing based organization, Kenton Maurice Taylor was found guilty of heroin trafficking and conspiracy. Taylor is the highest ranking member in the state of Michigan from the gang.

The Ingham County Sheriff s Office, Lansing Police Department, MSU Police Department, East Lansing Police Department, Eaton County Sheriff s Office, Michigan Department of Corrections, and the Michigan State Police actively targeted high crime areas with an emphasis on violent offenders. Parolee checks, Warrant sweeps, and Hot-Spot areas were the focus of these deployments. Uniform and undercover officers were utilized to target specific subjects and areas. Proactive enforcement has been proven to reduce crime. VCI investigators also coordinated several Multi-Jurisdictional Intelligence sharing sessions. These meetings included local, state and federal authorities covering violent crime statistics, known offenders, and target specific locations. The multi-jurisdictional effort has led to an increase in data sharing, resource sharing, and open communication with law enforcement agencies from the local, state and federal levels. These sessions have been critical to ensuring the most violent offenders are being investigated and sufficient resources are available to properly investigate and prosecute these criminals. The collaboration of the local Law Enforcement in Ingham County has helped bring investigators together to discuss a common concern, the effects of crime in our community. By sharing information and comparing similar trends; VCI has been able to identify specific individuals that have been, and will most likely be, responsible for crime committed in our neighborhoods. The US Attorneys and Ingham County Prosecutors help lead us in the right direction for successful prosecution of those committing the crimes; while the FBI, DEA and ATF help provide resources in which to do it. 34
