In a statement, Green said he’s grateful for the chance to serve Lansing citizens.
“I am proud of the reforms the Lansing Police Department completed, and it is time for me to pass the baton to another police chief that will continue this important work of reimagining public safety,” he said.
Lansing s Police Department has seen its share of controversy under Green s tenure, including the death of Anthony Hulon, who died of asphyxiation after being restrained by police in the Lansing jail. Michigan s Attorney General declined to file charges against the officers involved in Hulon s death, but a civil lawsuit is ongoing. Lansing s Police Department violated its critical incident policies in the aftermath of Hulon s death, the Lansing State Journal found.
