DPS Police in Canton.

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.

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.

They are in Hamtramck all the time. Apparently getting lunch in Hamtown is OK. There is also a lot off of I-75 with lots of new patrol cars sitting in it.

I feel the same way about the FBI-identified car, with a special sign in the dash saying it can't be ticketed. I regularly see it around lunchtime outside Bouzouki Lounge.

Oops, I was wrong. It's county employees from Kym Worthy's office. I was worried they were just in there sucking down cocktails and looking at boobies, but I guess I was wrong. The piece of paper on the passenger side window said, "On official business."
