Detroit Police Department

The Detroit Police Department is a model of sustained policing excellence that places Detroit’s neighborhoods and people first.

Police Chief James E. Craig

“The Detroit Public Safety Foundation has been an invaluable tool and priceless commodity for our Department.” Says Chief James Craig. “They have been instrumental in facilitating many programs and providing numerous grants without which the success we have experienced as a Police Department would not have been possible.”
