DETROIT 300 & City leaders unveiled a partnership that’s engaging neighborhood gas stations to help deter and solve crimes.
Detroit Assistant Police Chief James White said.
“I haven’t seen anyone doing what we are doing.”
White says some city gas stations have become a hub for illegal activity. In the first half of 2015, about 25 percent of violent crimes in Detroit occurred within 500 feet of gas stations, officials said.
“There is rhyme and reason for why we started with gas stations,” said Richard Tao, a senior adviser to the mayor. “We’re really looking to go into the neighborhoods, go into the tough areas and help out.”
“Overall, this is about community confidence and safety for the community,” White said. It’s about the relationships and giving the community an opportunity to shop safely, get gas safely and feel confident that they are able to go back and forth, like everyone else does in their community.”
Mayor Mike Duggan in a recent statement noted the program gives police instant access to information that might otherwise take hours to gather.
“We are going to form every partnership and use every tool we can to drive down crime in our neighborhoods,” he said.
Police say they hope the visibility of the project and its goals will put the community at ease.
“This is one more piece in the city’s efforts to reduce crime,” Chief Craig has said.
Detroit is on the rise and Law Abiding Citizens are sending a message: “Detroit is not for you to come in and do your crime. We’re going to fight back.”
