Sterling Heights Police

Sterling Heights police defended their use of Flock license plate reader cameras during a City Council meeting amid privacy concerns raised by council members and residents. Police Chief Andrew Satterfield stated that the cameras capture vehicle plate snapshots at major intersections, noting that the data is deleted after 30 days unless flagged for an investigation. However, some critics questioned the system's scope and expressed concern about data accessibility and sharing access with neighboring departments or federal agencies.

Sterling Heights police conducted a large operation in Southwest Detroit early Wednesday morning, resulting in at least one person being taken into custody.

A woman was arrested hours after robbing a Comerica Bank in Sterling Heights, with most stolen money recovered through a multi-agency investigation. She fled in a stolen vehicle without a license plate and was later apprehended in Warren without incident.
