MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich. (AP) — Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido announced today the drop of his second podcast aimed at giving residents a closer look at the work of his office. With the help of artificial intelligence, staff written materials are turned into an entertaining and informational conversation that discusses new initiatives and recent cases.
In this episode, listeners learn about how his office is working to protect taxpayers’ dollars while delivering justice and public safety. From improving efficiency inside the courtroom to securing child support for families, this podcast shares key initiatives that highlight accountability, transparency, and fiscal responsibility.
Topics we cover include:
• Streamlining Mental Health Evaluations – A plan to bring licensed professionals directly into the Macomb County Jail, cutting costs and reducing risks while awaiting competency evaluations.
• Child Support Collections – Over $3.2 million recovered since 2022 for children of delinquent parents, helping families while reducing reliance on taxpayer-funded assistance programs.
• Efficient Warrant Processing – How the Prosecutor’s Office is setting records in faster, smarter processing of warrants.
• Safe Gun Storage Initiative – Using state grant funding to promote responsible gun ownership without passing costs onto local taxpayers.
• Bipartisan Transparency – Why Lucido believes working across the aisle and keeping spending open to public oversight is key to earning taxpayer trust.
