Absent from this plan of action is any mention of crime labs.
a lot of buzzwords about 'strong' 'powerful' 'stronger' 'strengthen' 'maximize'.
without crime lab evidence, the perp can walk. without a prosecutor, the perp can walk.

Since the detroit police lab was shut down, the michigan state police crime labs have taken over for detroit. but the michigan state police crime labs are also in a sorry state of affairs.

its so bad the crime lab chief resigned to work in the private sector:

why are crime labs so backed up? is it because of marijuana testing?
maybe its time to legalize the marijuana and start testing those 11,000 rape kits?

then , after you get the police crime labs working again, you'll need to prosecute people. but wait, wayne county commish ficano hasnt been funding the wayne county prosecuting office!

"Prosecutor Kym Worthy’s office is so underfunded that she lacks the necessary staff to investigate cases and obtain arrest warrants."

talking about carjackings from the 'plan to action'
"along with enforcement efforts, the unit is planning a media blitz"

what will a media blitz do exactly, besides let carjackers know that there is increased anti-carjacking patrols going on?

there is a complete system failure here in wayne county. its everyone's fault from the legislature to the city, county and state employees.
