OK,if we don’t want to give S.T.R.E.S.S. another chance, even though it reduced crime, then bring back the “Big Four” or “Tac Squads”. Detroit police created a new squad in the early 1960’s known to the public as the “Big Four”. This group was assigned to search for the most notorious felons in the city. It consisted of a uniformed officer riding with three plainclothes officers in a large, black, unmarked car, usually a Chrysler Newport. The very presence of this black Chrysler cruising slow down the street would make criminals run and hide. Couldn’t claim racism for the same reason as above.
