A man was driving erratically. Cops rolled up behind him. The man sped away, blew a red light before eventually pulling over.
He had a bridge card but no driver’s license. He had thousands of dollars in traffic tickets and warrants. Cops cuffed him then searched his car. Finding no weapon, they let him go. Cops have to prioritize. That’s how it is in the most violent quarter of the most violent city.
“We’ve got no one to look after him,” said Sgt. Mike Osman. “We’ve got no jail space. And we don’t have enough manpower for us to go back to the station and do the paperwork. So you kick him loose. And everyone out here knows it.”
Charlie LeDuff...Fox2 - 2011
In addition the lack of jail space, created by x-PC Bully-Cummings (closing 50% of jail cells - precincts) leaves Detroit with insufficient jail space for police officers to arrest criminals and puts some back on the street shortly after they are arrested, because of lack of jail space - the streets of Detroit are dangerous enough without criminal - knowing that they can commit crimes and not fear arrest because - 'we don't have a cell for them'. Officers are demoralized, in part, because they can't properly do their jobs. DLM
For years I have spoken out about the lack of jail space...since EBC failed 'reorganization plan, that puts residents and police officers lives in danger...

We’ve got no one to look after him,” said Sgt. Mike Osman. “We’ve got no jail space. And we don’t have enough manpower for us to go back to the station and do the paperwork. So you kick him loose. And everyone out here knows it.”
Charlie LeDuff...Fox2 2011 According to the memo, the so-called CRISNET technology — implemented four years ago as a way for cops on the street to move from paper to computer when submitting preliminary crime reports — is part of the reason the time it takes to process an arrest has increased from 50 minutes to as long as two hours.
News Hits got its mitts on an interesting memo last week, one in which a high-ranking member of the Detroit Police Department admitted that things weren't going well, and that the "department's ability to maintain its core functions in an efficient and effective manner has been greatly challenged ..."
Among the areas being impacted, according to the Sept. 28 memo sent to northwestern district supervisors by Deputy Chief Ronald Haddad, were response times, investigations and crime solving, and community police visibility.
David Malhalab, a retired DPD sergeant and one of the force's most persistent critics, forwarded the memo to us and other media in town.

Why is there 800 beds at wc jail unused....
DPD under fed monitor ...needs to replace 50% of its jail space that xpc cummings closed without finding replacement space...that partly responsible for why crime is rising in detroit...dpd officers cannot arrest because there is no space for prisoners
and the prisoner medical costs are high...because they have to send prisoners to drh emergency room for evaluation....that is wrong....
hold a press conference and say...you support dpd using wcjail ...and that its a win win for both agencies....and benny has road patrol officers or uc officers that could make np buys and get a lot of publicity ... keep in touch............ ....david malhalab
READ THE DPOA 'TUEBOR' EVERY MONTH...TO KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING IN DPD...
IS THIS NON COMPLIANCE WITH - D.O.J. DECREES 3/6/10
CELL BLOCK NIGHTMARE-There were some concerns about the cell block brought up to the Northwestern District Command. These problems have occurred since the reorganization.
The concerns are as follows: That our cell blocks have been consistently filled over capacity (we also house all high risk, suicidal, parole violators, handicapped and homicide prisoners.) We are also housing additional prisoners because Southwestern District has been closed for remodeling. Northwestern has been accommodating 4 times or more the volume of prisoners that the facility is intended to handle! This situation has led to situations that have frequently placed the officers and the prisoners at risk of harm or civil rights violations as well as placing the department and our members in a highly actionable position, civilly and criminally.
To start, Officers have to wait outside in the garage with their prisoners until they can be processed. This has been known to take over a half hour. The garage is not a secure place to hold prisoners. It is usually full of juvenile detainees that were brought in for curfew. Adults and juveniles should not be together.
Prisoners waiting to be processed are,Males and female prisoners waiting to be processed are intermingling, there is no physical place to secure and monitor them.
There have been numerous assaults and attempted assaults on officers by prisoners leading to use of force that could be avoided if prisoners could be secured in individual cells.
Also prisoners requiring medical attention or psychiatric treatment that are made to wait due to logistical problems we are experiencing processing, evaluating and transporting them to the hospital.
The Commander basically stated that our resources (being officers and cell block) are “being stretched beyond our ability to function efficiently, effectively or safely.” He also stated in his response that Southwestern should be done about a week after Easter. The Commander also stated that the Supervisors (desk and cell block) basically have to use their discretion with shutting down the cell blocks but before this is done they should “appropriately release misdemeanor prisoners” and call other cell blocks in other districts to get help with housing.
What is it going to take for the city to realize the fiasco they have created by closing down the precincts. They also eliminated half of our cellblocks!becoming in involved in altercations, which interferes with processing and cell block processing.
detroit needs more jail space...new jail/medical facility.....now

DETROIT CRIME LAB - SCANDAL, FIRE - DETROIT POLICE CHIEF GODBEE
Why is Detroit Mayor Bing protecting Detroit PC Godbee??????????????
If I had been given the order to turn over evidence to MSP and close the lab - and failed, I would be blogging you from jail - misconduct in office ++++.
Or be fired by trial board - fail to follow direct order - neglect of duty +++++
what does it do to morale - to have the chief - screw up so bad and not be disciplined, when the DPD disciplines officers and takes pay and benefits from officers for far less serious violations of the rules and regulations...if not criminal behavior...???????
Godbee should be fired - DOJ Judge Julian Cook should be replaced - and either get a new chief or get a federal DPD monitor to take control of the DPD.
I spent over 30 yrs...writing in the Tuebor, talking to reporters about the nepotism, favoritism, cronyism and mismanagement of the DPD - it started (during my career 1977 - with Mayor Young and well liked but illiterate PC Hart (who was convicted as a felon),it continued with chief after bad chief...now thru Godbee (a Kilpatrick supporter and adulterer...and things are not better.
I put my career and safety in danger, by speaking out and lost time because of it...and Godbee gets a pass????. I lost six (6) days pay and benefits for talking to Mike Lewis of WDIV TV, about the Beatty traffic stop - never mentioned Kilpatrick or Beatty by name, the ACLU had to get the DPD to cancel a teletype that violated my Constitutional Rights, but I didn't get my pay back.
Detroit residents deserve better...DPD officers deserve better...

DETROIT - CITY COUNCIL - BROWN AND TATE, FAIL RESIDENTS AND POLICE
To all Detroiters..
Gary Brown, Detroit City Councilman and former Detroit Police Executive, has made numerous - several - deceptive and misleading statements to the media, the latest to radio am950 WWJ / Florence Walton.
He has said, that the uniformed services (ie) Detroit Police Officers (Union) havn't been asked to contribute to lowering the City Budget, false and misleading - The City and DPOA are currently in Act 312 negotiations for a new contract, with the old one long past expired. The City is offering only take backs, pay and medical benefits reductions. Recently, the DP Lieutenants and Sergeants Association lost pay and benefits in an Act 312 decision, causing many to retire and leave this City, and leaving others demoralized. I am retired from the DPD, receiving a duty disability - I have had my medical premiums - raised, since my retirement - that was wrong. I gave to the City with my service and was rewarded with increased medical costs, and life long injuries.
Police Officers have made concessions and continue to protect residents day in and day out, night after night, 24/7 even after being denigrated and taken advantage of by Mayors since Coleman Young, while remaining one of the lowest paid major police departments in the country. Their lives are in danger from the time they wake up until they wake up another day - and it is particularly dangerous for police officers that live in this City.
Gary Brown and James Tate have failed Detroit residents and Detroit Police Officers - they were insiders - they were police executives - they saw the nepotism, cronyism, favoritism and mismanagement (that I have spoken out about for years) up close and personal (Tate told me he was 'left out to the loop' - re: red Navigator) and so they should have been from Day One of their Council careers, had reforms in hand and on the Council table - to improve, repair and upgrade the Detroit Police Department. They have nothing and are failing residents and brave police officers.
Brown and Tate should have made PCs Evans and Godbee (? - unqualified) replace the Crisnet Report System that has complicated and made report writing a lengthy and unproductive report system (Haddad Memo), causing long delays to police response times.
Brown and Tate should have had the Council adopt a 'Verified Response System' to handle false B&E alarms - making profit making alarm companies responsible for the initial check of alarms. DPD have been used for years a security guards for alarm companies. It has cost Detroit $1.2 - 1.5 million dollars a year for the DPD to respond to false alarms. A report was created documenting the need for 'VRS' and the cost of false alarms in 2003. Add up the costs to date. A step has been taken is this process - but it needs to be adopted - now not later.
Brown and Tate should have taken the lead to create a Wayne County / Detroit Police medical - jail facility, which would have put Detroit in compliance with the Department of Justice Decrees, per the Federal Prosecutor. PC Warren Evans blamed PC Bully-Cummings, now we have Godbee and still no compliance and no medical - jail facility.Millions of Detroit taxpayer dollars are being spent on unnecessary and unneeded medical costs for prisoners, who know and take advantage of Detroit's failure to create this facility. A precinct has a midnight prisoner transfer crew, two officers, simply to take prisoners back and forth to Detroit Receiving Hospital. An emergency room doctor, acknowledge the costly service - but DPD executives continue this process - with no reports of costs to the public.
In addition the lack of jail space, created by x-PC Bully-Cummings (closing 50% of jail cells - precincts) leaves Detroit with insufficient jail space for police officers to arrest criminals and puts some back on the street shortly after they are arrested, because of lack of jail space - the streets of Detroit are dangerous enough without criminal - knowing that they can commit crimes and not fear arrest because - 'we don't have a cell for them'. Officers are demoralized, in part, because they can't properly do their jobs.
The Tamara Greene homicide investigation and lawsuit hangs over the City - but their seems no resolution is in sight, what with continued lies and cover ups. To many police executives remain on the job, who have things to cover up and hide - that were part of the Kilpartick police department and the DPD is now led by Ralph Godbee, a hold over and Kilpatrick fund raiser, what police officer would feel safe career wise and safety wise to come forward and divulge information that could resolve the situation?
Detroit needs the best, the brightest, and ethically unchallenged police chief available from a nation wide search - no consideration should be made for race, religion, ethnicity or sexual preference. Brown and Tate should take the lead and appropriate the money for the
search.
Brown and Tate should vigorously oppose an eleven (11) member, Detroit Board of Police Commissioners, some elected by districts. The Board is already ineffective and inefficient - adding members is wrong and dangerous to public safety.
Detroit residents deserve better service from its uniformed services, but the solution is in getting better executives and Council members willing to lead - not deceive or to offer up smoke and mirrors
Detroit has lost population to below 713,000 - fact, but the City Council refuse to acknowledge this fact - and the new City Charter fails to understand this - Detroit City Council should be reduced to five (5) members to make it more effective and efficient and to lower their costs to the City. The Charter can provide for seven (7) members if Detroit gains population. Detroit does not need council elected by districts - this will lead to more corruption and not provide better representation - remember those that favored a term limited state legislators - now support a Detroit election by districts, its wrong and Brown and Tate should oppose it.
Brown and Tate should also support a reduction in the number of Detroit Board of Education members - there are too many - now, you see the results of a bloated Board now.

FRIENDS OF ROUGE PARK, DETROIT, MICHIGAN
FRIENDS OF ROUGE PARK..
Developing a plan for Rouge Park, the largest park in Detroit.
The one thing I think all friends of Rouge Park can agreen on - is the need to protect residents from potential robbers and rapist - who may use the - open to tresspass, stripped, dangerous and abandoned bathrooms on West Outer Dr at Tireman and another at Dover - they have long been a crime waiting to happen and the City Council has failed to take action to demolsh them, make this a priority in your vision of Rouge Park.
ps. Mike Ilitch, of the Tigers and Red Wings' owes the City up to $12 million dollars for agreements he failed to keep concerning historic Detroit Tiger Stadium. He should spend a million dollars or more - creating new baseball fields throughout Rouge Park. Hopefully, they can reach a sort of - out of court settlement, before Ilitch is indicted. Councilman Ken Cockrel should take the lead, since he told me 'Yes David, your guy (Peter Riley) was right, he (Ilitch) owes the City, the money, and I will do everything I can to get the money back.'
pss. Dave Bing, a Detroit Piston - Hall of Fame Player, should ask Tom Gores to build new basketball courts throughout Rouge Park - he will not move the Pistons to Detroit! So maybe he will make a contribution to the residents who are basketball fanatics.
So here are three suggestions to make Rouge Park better - along with the basics of just cutting the grass.

PASTOR (?) TERRY JONES, DEARBORN - FREE SPEECH
The US Constitution was trampled today...by a Dearborn judge, the Wayne County Prosecutor, and the Mayor of Dearborn, by denying Pastor (?) Terry Jones, of Florida the right of free speech - to protest radical Muslim influence.
The Mayor of Dearborn, John Reilly, embarrassed himself, Dearborn residents - first with an Open Letter and then on Let It Rip, Fox2 News, Friday night, with a disjointed and wrong defense of a misguided attempt to prevent the 1st Amendment - Free Speech of Terry Jones, an ignorant, publicity seeking, fear mongering demagogue, who is using anti Muslim fears to enrich himself, without regards to the consequences. Carl Marlinga made several good comments, including that Homer Simpson is smarter than Jones, and that if Jones was allowed to speak, this media circus would have been over - its not.
How much did it cost($$$)Wayne County, Dearborn to keep Jones, silent - except for the throng of eager news media, who have made him an international phenomenon, a man prevented from speaking about radical Islam, by a US Judge, in a country that promotes free speech, to Mideast countries,and then sent Jones to jail.
Terry Jones, will return to Dearborn and the circus that he began will begin again - this time with even more attention directed at him and those that support and oppose him, not the people of Dearborn and its Muslim residents, but fringe elements willing to exploit the situation and events to further their separate disparate agendas, including but not limited to the Detroit fringe group, By Any Means Necessary (BAMN) that has disrupted school board meetings and other public meetings that don't agree with their goals.
Terry Jones is not a spokeman for Christianity, and I believer Jesus, would have rebuked him for burning the 'Quran' - he is a poor ($$$$) publicity hound who has made his claim to fame - and now is exploiting it (you can donate to him on five (5) different credit cards)and we can't wait to see the next installment, how sad for all of us.

DETROIT PUBLIC SAFETY - DETROIT TIGERS OPENING DAY
Public Safety is NOT the #1 issue in Detroit - public safety for Detroit residents was compromised by Opening Day of the Detroit Tigers, owned by billionaire Mike Ilitch, who can afford to pay for private security.....
Three officers were pulled from the Sixth Precinct (NW District) and three officers were pulled from the day shift of the Eighth Precinct (NW District) and sent to Comerica Park, to provide police protection to the large number of suburban residents who attended the Opening Day festivities. Other precincts also contributed officers, the total number is not known - at this time, but at the NW District the six officers would make up three scout car crews that weren't able to respond to 911 calls...multiply that - by all the other precincts and the reason - police officers weren't there to protect Detroit residents is because they were at new non historical ball park.
This situation but to lesser extent will exist all through the Tiger season - as police officers will be assigned to a Comerica Park Baseball Detail, robbing the local precincts of officers needed to respond to 911 calls - from a Department that is already understaffed, with low morale.
ps: Detroit Police Officers still do not have - traffic safety vests, needed to protect them at accident scenes (I requested them as long ago as 1993 - after I was hit by a car at an accident scene, where some officers - upon arrival thought that I was dead, because of the amount of blood, I had lost.
Moonlighting - Detroit Police Officers (2nd Job) is not viable - the Department is too understaffed.
