Well a teensie bit anyway as the quote below and linked video report displays. Additionally I have heard/read that Wayne County is increasing patrols in Detroit. I wonder if the Michigan State Firefighters are far behind? Oh wait...

So for the debate... Is this how it is to work? The state takes over, forces cuts to public safety, then sends in a little of its own? Why does that seem like taking a transfusion of blood from one arm and putting it into the other arm with a little getting spilled in between?

To help fight crime in some of the city's toughest neighborhoods Michigan State Police troopers are stepping in and are already on patrols.

Michigan State Police will put 12 troopers on the ground, along with two sergeants and a lieutenant. They will also be providing investigative support.

The added reinforcements come as part of the governor's "safe cities" initiative, which calls for state assistance in municipalities with high crime rates.
