Detroit Police Department - needs 1,030 new police officers - NOW.
June 26, 2015: 1590.....police officers
347.....sergeants
150.....detectives
28.....investigators
80.....captains / lts
59.....dpd assistants (former POs - now civilian assts)
2,254 TOTAL........... - 59 == 2,195
This is not enough officers to make Detroit residents safe, or visitors !!! Think how many police officers are going to be needed at CoMerica Park, Ford Field and downtown events throughout the summer - your local precincts will be drained.
Detroit needs to raise its hiring standards (2 - 4 yrs of college / military) and raise the pay and benefits to attract and retain these officers using: STATE and FEDERAL GRANT MONEY !!! that our local, state and national elected officials should be trying to get, every day.
Public Safety should be the #1 issue in Detroit - It's NOT...
