SUMMARY:
Senate Bill 209 would amend the Michigan Memorial Highway Act to designate the portion of highway M-10 in Wayne County between highway I-94 and Grand River Avenue as the “Sergeant Collin Rose Memorial Highway.”
The bill would take effect 90 days after its enactment.
Proposed MCL 250.1010a
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
According to committee testimony and the Officer Down Memorial Page, Collin James Rose was born April 1, 1987 to Randy and Karen Rose. He grew up near Kalamazoo Michigan, attended Gull Lake High School, and interned for the Richland Village Police Department. After graduation in 2006, Sergeant Rose attended Ferris State University. He worked as a cadet at the New Baltimore Police Department before joining the Wayne State University Police Department. On November 22, 2016, Sgt. Rose was in an area that had experienced numerous thefts from vehicles the previous day. He informed dispatchers that he was making contact with a suspicious person on a bike in front of 3650 Lincoln Street. During the encounter, Sergeant Rose attempted to detain the man, but the subject suddenly pulled out a gun and shot him in the head. Sergeant Collin J. Rose died as a result of his injuries on November 23, 2016. He was 29 years old.
Sergeant Rose served with the Wayne State University Police Department for 5½ years and served as a canine officer with the agency. He was posthumously promoted to the rank of Sergeant. Dedicating a portion of highway M-10 in Wayne County would be an appropriate way to recognize and honor Sergeant Collin James Rose for his commitment and service to the citizens of Detroit and the state of Michigan.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Section 2 of the Michigan Memorial Highway Act indicates that the state transportation department shall provide for the erection of suitable markers indicating the name of the highway only "when sufficient private contributions are received to completely cover the cost of erecting and maintaining those markers." As a result, the bill has no state or local fiscal impact
POSITIONS:
The Michigan Department of Transportation is neutral on the bill. (12-11-18)
