I heard it had to do with the Tasha Flowers case. A few years ago, Tasha Flowers moved into a nice foreclosed home in Sherwood Forest and squatted. Her neighbours complained to the bank and the bank called the DPD. Several DPD officers showed up and arrested and escorted her and her family very professionally [[according to the neighbours), but she filed a phoney lawsuit against the DPD for $15m for police brutality anyway. DPD settled out of court. Since then, the DPD won't get involved unless there's a court order. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5A9SKlktxFs


As for the squatters for the OP, contact animal control what the limit is on the number of dogs a household is allowed to have in this city. In most Michigan cities, it's 2 unless they have a special kennel permit.
