Detroit Mayor Dave Bing is thinking of ways to restore residency for public safety employees, police, fire, ems - he is wasting his time - that shipped has sailed, that train has left the station. State Law and Detroit's failure to include that demand in ACT 312 negotiations over 10 years ago - and the mass exodus of black and white police officers, firefighters and EMS techs should have shown the Mayor the truth about Detroit - its unsafe for City employees and their families, to live in Detroit.
Police Officers are especially vunerable to living and working in Detroit, because if they take police action - their families maybe endangered. If they lived in a neighborhood - their neighbors knew it - and so did the criminal element. Their neighbors would expect the 'neighborhood' police officer to help solve neighborhood problems - placing police officers families in danger if they helped or didnt help.
Detroit Police Officers - black and white - fled the City because it was unsafe for their families and because the Detroit School System is such a complete failure. Any reasonable person who has the means and the ability to move out of Detroit will do so to protect their families, and police officers were most vunerable.
Mayor Bing should concentrate on raising the standards for police applicants - raise the minimun hiring age to 21, raise the educational requirement to two (2) years of college (AA degree), and stricter criminal and driving background checks.
Bing should also, make sure the police and fire departments have better equipment - police officers should not be driving cars with 100,000 miles, with non working radios, sirens, and emergency lights. They shouldn't have to jump start their cars to begin patrol.
Bing should make police officers welcome in the City and should stand behind them - with good pay and support.
Bing should demand the Detroit Public School Board hold itself to a higher standard and demand that it work with Robert Bobb to improve the school system.
Public safety employees will move back to the City when its streets are safe and its school system educates its students by national standards - not before and they should not be asked or required too.

DETROIT POLICE CHIEF RESIGNS ??? MAYOR BING FIRES POLICE CHIEF..
No one really believes that Detroit Police Chief Warren Evans - resigned.
He was fired by Detroit Mayor Dave Bing - who no longer had any use for Evans, who was selected as Police Chief to remove him as a mayoral candidate.
Detroit has been plagued by bad police chiefs starting with Mayor Young's - felony chief - William Hart, thru Stanley Knox, Isaiah McKinnon, Benny Napoleon, Jerry Oliver and worst of all - Ella Bully Cummings.
Evans was 'aggressive' in fighting crime - he showed Detroit residents that the police department wasn't sitting on its hands, that he would commit officers to the street to engage the criminals that were destroying the neighborhoods and fabric of Detroit.
Chief Evans was a pit bull - not a mayoral lap dog or bobblehead like some former police chiefs that have occupied the Chief's chair, in name only.
Chief Evans, for over a year - failed - to rid the Department of: Crisnet (report system) that is a ball and chain around police officers and keeps them tied to a computer, and doesn't allow them to patrol effectively; adopt a Verified Response System - to handle false B&E alarms; obtain Jail cells and medical facility for Detroit Police prisoners ( 1/2 of Detroit jail cells were closed by Cummings and Detroit is paying millions of dollars for emergency medical care for prisoners - unnecessarily...
Detroit no longer needs Police Chiefs - the inbreeds that have helped destroy in infrastructure and morale of the Department. Detroit needs a National Search for a new police chief - a chief who will bring national respect and intelligence to a job that has been for too long occupied by political underlings with no independence and strings attached.
Detroit needs a new chief to come in and clean house.
Mayor Bing says a National Search will be done - I have advocated that for over 20 years - maybe now - it will happen????
Ralph Godbee, will make a good interim chief - a better public information officer.
ps: Muhamed Oakdie, former DPBPC, made foolish and ignorant comments about the best police chiefs come up thru the ranks...look at the history of bad Detroit Police Chiefs - Hart, Knox, McKinnon, Napoleon, Bully-Cummings - who have come up thru the ranks.
ps: CP Pugh " surprised " at Evans resigning??? Where has he been - it was not a matter of if - he would resign, just when would he be fired...
ps: Apparently Detroit Mayor Dave Bing - hasn't got the stomach or courage of his convictions - He has Deputy Mayor Saul Green - Fire - err accept Chief Evans resignation.

DETROIT - WAR ON CRIME - PO BRIAN HUFF
Detroit needs an all out - War on Crime.
The death of Detroit PO Brian Huff and wounding of four other officers should be the last straw, the final spark that will get powerful Detroit black ministers off their bibles and get them onto their pulpits and pounding them and telling their members that it is alL right to call police and 'turn in' a murderer, robber, rapist, drug house, drug pusher, a B&E man/team, car thieves.
Mayor Bing, at every Detroit church, must also get up and declare that the police are not an occupying army or an army of oppressors and that residents should not fear police officers, that are trying to protect them from criminals, who have no concern for Detroit or its residents. We must change the culture in Detroit - that make residents accept crime and fear the police.
The Mayor should tell Ron Scott to shut up - and not to denigrate officers and to cooperate with the police department to make it better - not to help spread the fear and suspicion about police officers. The Board of Police Commissioners must be more visible and active
in making the Department better and accepted by the residents.
The ministers, Mayor and City Council member should commit themselves to making crime - the number one concern that needs to be solved - and make public safety Detroit's No. 1 problem.
Former Ella Bully Cummings should be held accountable for this officers death - you can't arrest criminals - when there is not enough jail space to put them in (she closed 1/2 of the jail cells in Detroit). Cummings created a now failed Reorganization Plan, failed to supervise the progress of the DOJ decrees, and violated EEOC laws. Cummings failed police officers and residents of Detroit, and the problems she created have not been solved.
Mayor Bing and the City Council must seek federal grants to get Detroit Police - state of the are equipment, hire and train more officers and to make DPD the best police department in the country. This cant be done just at the city level - it will also take a commitment from the State and Federal governments.
I have always offered to be a resource...and spoken out about the problems and solutions that are needed to make the DPD better - hopefully someone will begin to listen now.
The news media must take an active role in examining bad policies and the lack of progress and why problems remain unsolved year after year. (crisnet / lack of jail space-medical facility/ lack of facilities and equipment/ lack of quality leadership - just a few)
