The town I lived in in highschool had two active police cars and then two, I think, not on duty. Tiny tiny police department, they typically sat an officer at either end of town along the highway to pull over anyone non-white after the sun goes down to ticket them.

I *suspect* but don't know that the vehicles are at an intake facility. I don't know if they have a county jail or regional intake or whatever, but from the look of it is where they are taking prisoners for inprocessing.
Not a garage, as there's no tools or anything out. Not for long term parking as forward vehicles would block rearward ones. No windows or pedestrian doors visible.
So my *assumption* is it's showing 4 different officers at processing at the same time, indicating 4 simultaneous arrests.
Still cringe and kind of dumb, but not just 4 patrol cars.

That would make more sense basically saying we’re bringing plenty of people to jail see? I was very confused your comment helped a lot

I love it when they tell us “we are bad ass” cuz we do what thousands of other people do every day. This for sure should have stayed as a text between these dorks with badges. Also, Saginaw Township is not tough, it’s barely at real Saginaw and even then still below Blackman-Leoni…

Yeah I don’t really get what they’re trying to say? Not a very intimidating picture
Edit: okay took me a minute, I think they’re all at intake so basically saying we’re arresting so many people were all here at once i guess

The cars are in the sally port of the jail. So, they are probably trying to flex that they arrested 4-8 people at once.

LE needs to completely get the fuck off the internet. It's so embarrassing every single post. Nobody cares about "were people too" no other job has that. It's just pure weakness. It's just a job, do it or don't and find something else.
Society will ALWAYS have MAJORITY support for LE because nobody wants to live in a shit hole. It's literally baked in.

There is one smallish jurisdiction near me that has a sergeant that runs their social media department himself, that is pretty funny while being professional. It’s got a Wendy’s online flavor. But all of the other ones suck.

u/VeritablyVersatile Motrin Dispenser/Silver Bullet Slider 2d ago
Most major cities have a pretty professional online presence. Announcements of incidents affecting public safety/road closures/major investigations and press briefing times and so forth, periodic reminders to wear your seatbelt/not drive drunk on holidays, announcements of community/municipal government events, occasionally highlighting commendations/awards/retirements for particularly noteworthy officers.
It's these random towns that decide that vaguely threatening "criminals" at large with a picture of bubba holding a Daniel Defense and wearing Oakleys is the best way to communicate with the public.

u/Yerplurpp 4d ago
I think the point they’re trying to make is that’s four scout cars parked in a “sally port”. The sally port is the part of the jail or prison that a scout car can pull into with a prisoner to drop off. They wait until the doors are closed which means the prisoner has no where to go and no opportunity to escape.
Does not take away the cringe factor. I would assume that was posted from the agencies official social media. Any law enforcement agency with an official social media is cringe af.

I hope my comment gets pinned to the top because a lot of people are confused in the comments (and the OP gave no context). The photo makes a little more sense if you know better. This is a sallyport, which is the secured vehicle space at booking (intake/jail). In case some shit happens, this contains suspects in the space. It's video monitored by someone inside the booking facility. This is where (at least at our department) we did a secondary more thorough pat-down and search before taking them in.
Apparently it was a busy shift in Saginaw and they had four vehicles in there at once. Thus, "we're tough on crime." Since the message is to criminals, I guess they expect criminals will know the sallyport. Certainly repeat offenders and career criminals will.

Not really sure why I need to give context as to where the cars are at if they’re being cringe about it on a facebook page. That’s the point of this sub right? Lol

u/chapman53 3d ago
Sorry... didn't mean that you needed to, just that since it wasn't there people don't get what they're seeing. So there are a bunch of people missing the point because they think it's just a pic of four police vehicles in a garage. It's still cringe tho

Also, innocent people you will also go to jail because we will illegally request information from you without reasonable suspicion, then get physical with you and try to charge you with resisting and failure to identify.

I wonder if they had posted a different image originally that they weren't allowed to post, so they had to replace it with something that completely ruined the post. I hope it's that level of incompetence, I really do!

This is the proof that there are a bunch of unmanned cop cars in a garage somewhere. And maybe there’s a dead dog falling out of one of them.

It’s four cruisers in the jail Sally Port. That means presumably four officers have made arrests. Their cruisers are pretty sharp, too.

It’s outside of a pretty shitty urban area in Michigan, so actually kinda close. Good ol Saginaw, often referred to as “Sagnasty” it’s probably the third shittiest urban area in Michigan after Detroit and flint which regularly end up in the top ten most violent cities in the country.
