DETROIT — With warm weather approaching, Detroit Police have released a "Community Safety Strategy" for 2022 that will focus on increasing the presence of officers in neighborhoods, quashing raucous parties, weeding out bad cops and addressing blight.
The 244-page, five-point plan aims to reduce violent crime by 10%, identify high-risk police officers, focus on citizen complaints and address quality-of-life issues, Detroit Police Chief James White said in a statement.
Shortly after White took over as chief in June of last year, he implemented a similar plan targeting the city's "party atmosphere" — loud music, vehicles blocking streets and hundreds of people under the influence of alcohol and drugs gathering without permits — in parks and neighborhoods that often led to shootings.
