SUMMARY OF INTRODUCED BILL
IN COMMITTEE
Senate Bill 209 (as introduced 3-2-17)
Sponsor: Senator Coleman Young II
CONTENT
The bill 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 it was enacted.
BACKGROUND
Sergeant Collin Rose was a Wayne State University police officer and canine handler who died at the age of 29 in Detroit on November 23, 2016, after sustaining a gunshot wound to the head the previous day.
Rose was patrolling a neighborhood adjacent to Wayne State where there had been recent thefts when he attempted to stop a bicyclist. Before making contact with the cyclist, he called for backup. When the additional officers arrived, they found Rose after he had been shot and immediately took him to the hospital. The cyclist was located and charged with the crime, but the charges were later dropped. Subsequently, another suspect was tied to the murder.
Rose grew up near Kalamazoo, attended Gull Lake High School, and interned for the Richland Village Police. Following his graduation in 2006, he attended Ferris State. He worked as a cadet at the New Baltimore Police Department before joining the Wayne State University Police Department. Rose was awarded the Citation of Valor, the highest honor issued by the Department. The University President also announced the creation of a $25,000 scholarship in Rose's name.
