Attached is a letter regarding a suspicious incident that took place in Lapeer Township on November 12. This letter is going home with elementary and middle school students today. The information is read to the high school students.
Dear Parents,
We were made aware late yesterday of a suspicious incident in Lapeer Township that has been reported to the Lapeer County Sheriff’s Department.
A female student was walking in the area of Hunters Creek and Clark roads at about 4:15 p.m. on Friday, November 12, and was approached by a man in a
4-door silver Toyota who asked her if she needed a ride. The girl declined the ride, and the man left.
She later reported the incident to the Sheriff’s Department.
She described the driver as a younger Hispanic man with dark complexion. He was heavy-set and had very short black hair. She also gave the deputy a partial license plate number.
We are committed to protecting our students and know that you, as parents, will continue to teach your children how to best protect themselves and seek assistance if necessary. Please reinforce with your children the lessons about interacting with strangers and, of course, immediately notify the police or sheriff’s deputies if you see or hear anything out of the ordinary.
Sincerely,
Debbie Thompson
Superintendent

Suspicious incident
Lapeer Community Schools Superintendent Debbie Thompson has sent the following letter to parents today because of a suspicious incident in the Davison area.
Dear Parents:
Today we became aware of a suspicious incident that was reported to Davison Community Schools on October 6, 2010.
Davison Schools reported an elderly man described to be in his late 60s or early 70s was seen sitting in his van observing children playing outside yesterday afternoon in the Chestnut Hills Subdivision on Oak Road, between Davison and Lapeer roads. This incident was reported to Davison Township Police by a resident of the subdivision. Davison Schools also have been in contact with local police agencies regarding this matter.
The man and his vehicle, a red Astro van with black pinstripes and ground effects, matches the description of a suspicious incident that was reported September 16, 2010 by Kearsley Community Schools. In that incident, an elderly man in his 70s was sitting in a red mini-van with black pinstripes and approached a student near a bus stop at Potter and Alcott roads, saying, "Get in. I will give you a ride."
We are committed to protecting our students and know that you, as parents, will continue to teach your children how to best protect themselves and seek assistance if necessary. Please reinforce with your children the lessons about interacting with strangers and, of course, immediately notify the police or sheriff’s deputies if you see or hear anything out of the ordinary.

January 13, 2010
Dear Parent/Guardian:
Today the Lapeer County Sheriff’s Department made us aware of a suspicious incident involving students shortly after they were dropped off by their bus at Pratt Lane and Five Lakes Road in Attica Township about 4:20 p.m. Tuesday, January 12th.
After the children got off the bus, a medium-sized turquoise pick-up truck, possibly a Ford F150, with one white man about 40 years old, approached the children as they walked down Pratt Lane and yelled, “Hey, come here.” After their attention was drawn to the truck, the children took off running and the truck left.
If you have information regarding this incident, or any other suspicious event, contact the Lapeer County Central Dispatch Center at (810) 667-0292.
We are committed to protecting our students and know that you, as parents, will continue to teach your children how to best protect themselves and seek assistance if necessary. Please reinforce with your children the lessons about interacting with strangers and, of course, immediately notify the police or sheriff’s deputies if you see or hear anything out of the ordinary.
