Since the higher ups don't have a clue on ways to begin combating the issue of crime of Detroit, maybe some DetroitYessers can offer some suggestions....


I for one vote for more transparency and knowledge from the police department regarding where and what particular crimes are happening. Both the Los Angeles Times and New York Times post major crime statistics with the Los Angeles Times calling theirs 'The Homicide Report.' I think the general public has a right to know what is happening and where in terms of all reported/known crimes, drug areas, etc.... It's a problem in our city that is just not going to 'go away'. There are more crimes that are happening in this city everyday that have not made the news or papers.
