Woman Carjacked At Gunpoint in Broad Daylight

[DanFromDetroit]

I've been spending quite a bit of time in GPP lately, and can say the police attentiveness is outstanding. In the rare instances I've been on Mack after midnight, the stare-down from passing officers is quite intimidating, but now that they recognize the car I've gotten a few nods of welcome.


My friend lives two blocks away from Mack...and about a half mile from Alter. Only time I've seen anyone pulled over for anything other than a speed trap has been a local boy on a Vespa without license plates...at ONE in the morning. He was taken away by an unmarked car with absolutely NO disturbance to the neighborhood at all.


In Dearborn? That would've been probably three cars all with blazing red-blue lights on top...waking up the whole damn block.


So far, I'm impressed with GPP's police, but am amazed that this little enclave can exist merely blocks away from some of the worst neighborhoods in the city.

I agree wholeheartedly with this post - I lived on Wayburn [[the Detroit side of the street) for 2 years with no issue whatsoever. I would walk home from the Tap Room regularly or any of the bars on Mack ave with no issue. The police would usually sit right outside my house on the entry streets to Detroit and monitor the bums, following those who looked like trouble. I once got hassled for money getting out of my car by some scumbag, one phone call to the GPP PD and they had escorted him out of the neighborhood before I made it into my house. The border patrol have always been courteous and polite and made me feel very safe.
