Vital records are those documents that provide an important milestone or event in each of our lives. These records include legal certificates of your birth, marriage, death, and court documents of any divorces. Each of these vital records provides not only documentation of the event, but they are equally important in other ways after the event.
People search for vital records for many reasons, including but certainly not limited to:
•    Verifying family history (genealogy)
•    Locating an individual
•    Background checks on individuals
•    Providing proof of a death for insurance purposes
•    Obtaining a driver’s license

Where to Begin Your Search for Vital Records?

Searching for vital records can be a challenge. The good news is that if you know the state and county in which the event took place, you can contact that government agency, such as a county courthouse, registrar, or state office of vital statistics, and request access to these documents. Usually there is a small fee and forms to complete for the request. The bad news is that if you do not know the state or county, your search could take longer.

State-Specific Searches Available Online
In our current digital age with databases connected through a worldwide network of computers, you can still obtain vital records with diligent research and by using the right resources.
State and county agencies can be contacted via the internet where you can make your request. A good place to start looking for the proper state vital records agency is by using the state-by-state resource provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention site.  Here you can click on the state you need and find specific offices for each vital record.

SavIsa Security has found a very useful website that maps crime statistics not only within Detroit but the surrounding suburbs of Detroit, Michigan known as the Tri-County area and the entire United States of America.  This website is truly awesome and even includes  tools that enable you to change date ranges, crime types, and even  street level views that zoom into satellite imagery.

Each crime type you click on has detailed information about that particular crime.  The only down side that was found is that certain communities are not listed, not sure why.

Click the following link to go check them out Crime Mapping.  Truly a useful website.

Know Your Rights
In 2000, the legislature significantly amended
Michigan’s firearms laws to make Michigan what
is known as a “shall issue” state. Public Act 381
generally provides that a person who meets certain
requirements will be issued a concealed pistol permit.
As a result, thousands of responsible Michigan
residents have been issued concealed pistol permits.
The principal requirements are:

1. The applicant is 21 years of age.

2. The applicant has resided in Michigan for at least
6 months.

3. The applicant is a citizen or legal resident of the
United States.

4. The applicant has successfully taken a gun safety
course.*

5. The applicant is not under certain court orders,
such as those involving mental disabilities,
personal protection orders, legal incapacitation,
etc.

6. The applicant does not have a pending felony
charge and has never been convicted of a felony
or certain misdemeanors within a specified time
period.

7. The applicant has not been involuntarily
committed due to a mental illness, adjudged
insane, guilty but mentally ill or pled insanity in
a criminal case.

8. The applicant does not have a diagnosed mental
illness at the time of the application.

9. The applicant has not been dishonorably
discharged from the US military.

10. The applicant is not subject to a court order
prohibiting the possession of a firearm.

* The qualifying course needs to be certified by
the State or a state-national firearms training
organization. Courses certified by the National Rifle
Association satisfy this requirement.
