DPS Police in Canton.

The Detroit Public Schools has a police department?

That's exactly what I said when I read the post. I didn't know that. Is this new? I lived in Detroit up until 5 months ago and I never saw any DPS cars.

DPS does have its own police dept. They are authorized and trained to carry weapons, just like DPD. They can only police the schools, though, and have no jurisdiction outside of a school capacity. They can't make arrests of general citizens.

I've never seen any new police cars, though. The cars that have been around my school have been pretty beat up.
