Detroit Police from WikiPedia:
The Detroit Police Department serves the city of Detroit, Michigan. The department was founded in 1865 to serve the city's growing population and covers the city with 5 districts and two precincts.
The department has lost 6 officers between the years 2000 and 2007. The 1970's were hard on the department with 26 officers killed in a span of ten years. Since 1878, The Detroit Police Department has lost 223 officers in the line of duty.
On September 4th 2008 as court proceedings were going on for then-Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, Ella M. Bully-Cummings annouced her retirement as the chief of police. She was the first female police chief in department history. During Ella M. Bully-Cummings tenure the rank and file of the police department experienced record low morale, due mostly to Bully-Cummings unwillingness to consult front line personnel before implenting policy changes, and her administration's rampant disregard for employee contractual rights[citation needed]. Many experts in the law enforcement community consider her to be one of the worst to serve in the postion of Chief of the Detroit Police Department[citation needed].
