14 spend a 10-day January turn in what city would
15 you pick and they overwhelmingly said Detroit.
16 (APPLAUSE).
17 DR. THOMAS: And these students
18 represent a variety of Christian denominations.

20 Christian denominations and we're really glad

22 again it's good to see all the Commissioners in
23 2015. It's really been a blessing to kick off
24 the year with a community meeting. A year ago
25 was our installation for the elected
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 8
1 commissioners here in 2014, so we have -- this is
2 our one-year anniversary. It was snowing then
3 and it's cold now, so I guess we've been
4 consistent in our one-year anniversary.
5 So I'm going to ask our Board Secretary
6 George Anthony to introduce the staff of the
7 Commissioners.
8 SECRETARY ANTHONY: Thank you,
9 Mr. Chair. For the record, George Anthony,
10 Secretary to the Board. Before I introduce the
11 staff, Mr. Chair, there are a couple of
12 Commissioners who did not introduce themselves so
13 I want to call their names into the record.
14 Commissioner Conrad Mallett.
15 Commissioner Willie E. Burton has asked to be
16 excused. Commissioner Jessica Taylor.
17 Mr. Chair, you do have a quorum. The
18 staff present is our Chief Investigator
19 Ms. Pamela Davis-Drake. Ms. Drake, can you just
20 stand up so everyone can see who you are. She's
21 our Chief Investigator from the Office of the
22 Chief Investigator.
23 Our recorder for this evening is Sgt.
24 Alan Quinn in the back and Mr. Dale Rose from
25 Hanson Court Reporting Service is taking the
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 9
1 official transcript. That completes the
2 introductions.
3 COMMISSIONER BELL: Thank you, sir. We
4 have a proper quorum. Before we continue, I'm
5 going to ask for the Board to approve the agenda
6 for this meeting Thursday, January 8, and you
7 should have hopefully agendas circulating. We
8 will follow the script with some modifications.
9 We will give the charge of the Board in
10 a few minutes after we approve the agenda for
11 this evening's meeting.
12 COMMISSIONER CRAWFORD: So move,
13 Mr. Chair.
14 COMMISSIONER MOORE: Second.
15 COMMISSIONER BELL: It's been properly
16 moved and second. Ready for the question? Those
17 in favor, aye?
18 COMMISSIONERS: Aye.
19 (COMMISSIONER MALLETT ARRIVES.)
20 COMMISSIONER BELL: Those opposed?
21 Motion carried. At this particular time I'm
22 going to ask our very own Bishop Vann,
23 Commissioner Vann, to give the charge of the
24 Board of Police Commissioners. This is his
25 second term serving on the Board.
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 10
1 He was appointed by the Mayor to take
2 Commissioner Wendell Byrd's slot as he moved on
3 to state rep, so this is his second meeting in
4 terms of the Board, but once again he served for
5 five years not too long ago.
6 So Commissioner Vann.
7 COMMISSIONER VANN: Thank you,
8 Mr. Chair. Just to -- I will outline the duties
9 and responsibilities of the Detroit Board of
10 Police Commissioners.
11 It was created in 1973 when the
12 citizens of Detroit adopted a new form of
13 governance for the police department by revising
14 the Detroit City Charter and creating the Board
15 of Police Commissioners.
16 The revised City Charter became
17 effective July 1, 1974. The current composition
18 of the Detroit Board of Police Commissioners
19 according to the 2012 City Charter provided for
20 the Board to have 11 commissioners, four members
21 appointed by the Mayor and subject to City
22 Council approval and seven elected members, one
23 from each non-at large police commission
24 district.
25 The 2012 Charter gives the Board
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 11
1 supervisory control and oversight of the police
2 department as set forth in the Charter. We meet
3 at the call of the Chairperson and we're required
4 to meet at least once a week, but may vote to
5 recess during the holidays.
6 All of our meetings are held in
7 accordance with the Michigan Open Meetings Act.
8 Our duties also include, yes, sir.
9 (COMMISSIONER TAYLOR ARRIVES.)
10 COMMISSIONER VANN: Our duties also
11 include establishing policy, rules and
12 regulations for the police department in
13 consultation with the Chief and with the approval
14 of the Mayor, to review and approve the
15 departmental budget, receive and resolve citizen
16 complaints except those alleging criminality, to
17 act as the final authority in imposing and
18 reviewing discipline of the employees of the
19 department, to make an annual report to the Mayor
20 and the City Council and the police department's
21 activities during the previous year including the
22 handling of the crime and complaints and of the
23 future plans.
24 It also includes subpoenaing witnesses,
25 administering oaths, taking testimony and
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 12
1 requiring the production of evidence. The Board
2 approves all promotions made by the Chief and
3 consents to the appointment of the necessary
4 Deputy Chiefs; appoints its own Board Secretary,
5 appoints a Chief Investigator and such additional
6 staff of investigators as it seems necessary.
7 Moreover, the Board appoints the
8 Director of Police Personnel who must be a
9 civilian. All Board appointees serve at the
10 Board's pleasure.
11 The Board as a function and as a
12 purpose is a liaison between the citizens of the
13 city of Detroit and the Detroit Police
14 Department. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
15 COMMISSIONER BELL: Thank you,
16 Commissioner Vann. And to my immediate left is
17 the immediately past Chair Jessica Taylor, she's
18 been seated and it's a privilege to have her in
19 the house on this warm evening also, and newly
20 appointed Commissioner Supreme Court Justice --
21 former Justice Conrad Mallett, he's appointed by
22 the Mayor recently and he's joining us at his
23 first meeting for 2015. Welcome, sir.
24 COMMISSIONER MALLETT: Thank you, sir,
25 sorry to be late.
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 13
1 COMMISSIONER BELL: No problem. Your
2 agenda addressed that we are here at the Wesley
3 Community Center. I want to give a personal
4 thank you on behalf of the Board to Wesley
5 Community Center for hosting our meeting.
6 Is anyone here from Wesley Community
7 Center to officially greet us? Yes, sir, come
8 forward, please.
9 Please give them your name for the
10 record and we appreciate you hosting us.
11 MR. HARVEY: I'm Charles Harvey. I'm a
12 volunteer here at the center. Pastor Mark is
13 here, Pastor Mark Jefferson is here.
14 And welcome to the center. We're glad
15 you're here. We have some good programs here for
16 the seniors and the children, so don't let this
17 be your last time coming here.
18 COMMISSIONER BELL: Thank you for the
19 hospitality and a warm building tonight, so we
20 appreciate this opportunity to interact here at
21 the Wesley Community Center.
22 And Number 8 item on the agenda would
23 be the approving the minutes from Thursday,
24 December 18, 2014. Commission, you have the
25 minutes? What is your pleasure in terms of
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 14
1 approval? Correction, it's minutes. That's why
2 she's sitting to my right, it's the minutes.
3 COMMISSIONER MOORE: So moved.
4 COMMISSIONER CRAWFORD: Second.
5 COMMISSIONER BELL: It's been properly
6 moved and seconded. Ready for the question?
7 Those in favor, aye?
8 COMMISSIONERS: Aye.
9 COMMISSIONER BELL: Those opposed?
10 Motion carries. I'm going to reserve my remarks.
11 I just want to say that as Chair it's a blessing
12 to have this opportunity to come out in the
13 community to kick off 2015. We're looking
14 towards a great year of interaction with the
15 community.
16 We know that the challenges are before
17 us and we're willing meet that challenge in terms
18 of partnership with the Detroit Police Department
19 and the community.
20 As we have stated in the past, that is
21 accountability to a civilian oversight, that is
22 our goal, that is our theme that we want
23 accountability through civilian oversight.
24 So as we look forward to 2015 we're
25 going to be engaging, we're going to be just
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 15
1 really more community awareness in terms of the
2 role of the Police Commission. We're going to
3 lay out an agenda. We haven't had a chance to
4 meet collectively, but there are some things
5 coming down the pike, this month you're going to
6 be hearing more about the role of the Board of
7 Police Commissioners, so we appreciate that.
8 It's my understanding that we have a
9 representative from the Mayor's office here. I'm
10 sorry.
11 Any individuals who we need to
12 recognize, ma'am? You're standing? There you
13 go, we're going to get it straightened out.
14 Thank you, okay. Any other elected official or
15 representative of an elected official?
16 Dr. Divers who stepped out, he's also from
17 Cushionberry's office. Good to have the
18 councilpeople in the house and we can now move to
19 hearing from the Chief of Police, Chief Craig.
20 CHIEF CRAIG: Thank you, Mr. Chair.
21 The only thing I'd like to report out on, first
22 of all I want to acknowledge our police officers,
23 our supervisors, managers and executives who are
24 a here today because what I want to talk about is
25 2014 crime stats and some read about it in the
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 16
1 recent news, so will that can we in advance give
2 these men and women a round of applause?
3 (APPLAUSE).
4 CHIEF CRAIG: Clearly a notable
5 statistic that was reported out is last year we
6 ended the year with 300 homicides which in the
7 city of Detroit represents in 47 years the lowest
8 number of homicides which is big news.
9 That does not mean -- thank you. It
10 doesn't mean that our work is over. I said last
11 year when we ended the year with 333 homicides
12 which was a deduction from the year prior, in
13 comparison New York City who has 8 million
14 residents still too many.
15 And so our work continues, but we set a
16 goal at the beginning of the year of a 10 percent
17 overall reduction in crime, Part 1 crime, which
18 includes violent and property, and we exceeded
19 that goal with a 16.5 percent reduction.
20 Where we saw the steepest reduction was
21 in the area of robbery. I'd like to talk about
22 robbery because when we look at what drives fear
23 in our communities, it really is a crime of
24 robbery.
25 Typically a suspect who robs a victim,
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 17
1 there's no connection, no acquaintance and those
2 are the crimes that really drive fear, whether
3 it's a robbery on the street or a carjacking
4 incident.
5 The good news is that we ended the year
6 with a 33 percent reduction in robbery and
7 carjacking I want to say it was 32 percent, so
8 all in all a good year, certainly a basis to move
9 forward for the year coming.
10 We did see another crime that's plagued
11 the city for many years is auto theft. We all
12 can relate to it who live in the city of Detroit,
13 given that we pay these high insurance rates, but
14 we did see an 18 percent reduction in auto theft
15 which translates into about 2,500 fewer vehicles
16 stolen in the City of Detroit.
17 So when you look at even comparing last
18 year's stats, 2014 to, say, 2012 even in homicide
19 we saw a 22 percent reduction. Certainly overall
20 violence in the city of Detroit comparing those
21 past two years was 28 percent.
22 So again we are moving in the right
23 direction. And while I talk a lot about the
24 police officer's, cop counts, and leadership
25 matters, certainly we could not have seen success
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 18
1 without the help of our community.
2 Our community plays a big role. When
3 we look at our -- we have our Homicide captain
4 here who provides tremendous leadership to the
5 men and women who work diligently on many of
6 these cases. But we also give credit, much
7 credit, to our community. Had it not been for
8 them, we wouldn't have the clearance rate.
9 We all year had a 62 to 68 percent
10 clearance rate in homicide and compare that to
11 when we arrived -- when I arrived here very
12 different, and it's different because we have a
13 community now that works with this police
14 department.
15 So with that, again, I thank everyone
16 for that and now that we're in 2015 our work
17 continues, so I'll open it up for any questions
18 you might have?
19 COMMISSIONER BELL: Commissioners, any
20 question or concern in reference to the Chief's
21 report?
22 COMMISSIONER CRAWFORD: Pardon me,
23 through the Chair. I really don't have any
24 questions, I just have a statement to make here
25 and it's not the department. I know they
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 19
1 reported it in the media, that referred to 1967,
2 its stats, and I bring a point of reference
3 because I was here in the city in '67 as I am
4 here today.
5 As a matter of fact, during the
6 rebellion I was over on the east side in Mack and
7 Bewick. As reported in the media and I received
8 some calls about it and I had to assure people I
9 wasn't suffering from any mathematical anxiety,
10 the '67 numbers, population was 1.5 million, 18
11 homicides per 100,000, homicides of 287.
12 And as reported which I do think is
13 great, the reduction, I do thank all of those in
14 police department and community too for the
15 reduction of 2013, but those numbers given the
16 population of 688,701 according to the 2013
17 census which really I think is 700,000 people in
18 this city. The media has a problem with
19 counting. Those that count, they often times
20 miss some of the citizens in the city.
21 But given the fact that 300 last year
22 and that 44 per 100,000 homicides, 44 per
23 100,000, the population, and that was just an
24 issue of equating the reduction with what
25 occurred in 1967. It was a million and a half
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 20
1 people here in the city of Detroit, so -- but I
2 do understand and respect greatly the reduction
3 and it is great work from the police officers and
4 the police department, the Chief, and also the
5 community.
6 COMMISSIONER BELL: Any others.
7 CHIEF CRAIG: Response through the
8 Chair?
9 COMMISSIONER BELL: Yes, sir.
10 CHIEF CRAIG: What I'd like to add just
11 a further detail analysis on the numbers, we
12 recognize that we were a smaller city in terms
13 of population, but there's some other factors
14 that are always overlooked when we start talking
15 about crimes per 100,000.
16 When we talk about Detroit in 1967 and
17 when I was here as a police officer in 1977
18 certainly we did have a larger population, more
19 police officers, but when you look at our poverty
20 level, we should never forget -- I don't care
21 what city it is -- cities with high poverty tend
22 to have high crime, and that's the reality.
23 But I think when you look at these
24 numbers, and while we're seeing a decline like
25 what you've seen in other large cities like you
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 21
1 look at Los Angeles for example, a place I spend
2 tremendous time, or New York, when LA started its
3 crime decline it didn't happen overnight.
4 By way of example, I remember working
5 one station in LA, and LA has 22 stations, I
6 remember it was not uncommon in some of the more
7 busy commands that it would be anywhere between
8 100 and 150 homicides a year per one station.
9 And so -- but certainly with some
10 strategic response a change in philosophy things
11 started to turn around. I believe that we' are
12 poised to continue to drive this number down.
13 But what's interesting, when people
14 talk about Detroit on the national, they make it
15 out to be this very dangerous very violent place.
16 I'm going to say something that may
17 shock some. Detroit is no different than any
18 other large city and I'm going to tell you why.
19 When you look at this -- we did an analysis on
20 homicide and what was telling for me, out of 300
21 homicides 246 of the 300, the victim and suspect
22 were acquainted in some way.
23 That tells a very different story and
24 the story that I hope to leave you with is that
25 when you look at homicide, it's not random. It's
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 22
1 not like we have violent predatory suspects
2 randomly shooting people on the street. Does it
3 happen, yes. Does it happen in other cities, yes
4 it does. So 246 some sort of acquaintance.
5 Stranger, of the 300 we determined that 39 were
6 strangers.
7 What was another telling stat that
8 certainly reinforced the great work that's going
9 on in the department in terms of investigative
10 follow-up, in 2014 there were 15 homicides that
11 we could not make a determination as to whether
12 it was a narcotic nexus, whether it was an
13 acquaintance, couldn't make the distinction.
14 What's interesting about that metric
15 when you look at the year prior in 2013 there
16 were 180 homicides that were undetermined.
17 In 2012, 238, so it reinforces this
18 notion that our community is working closely with
19 this police department in identifying those
20 responsible. So I wanted to share that with you
21 because I think it tells a different sorry about
22 Detroit.
23 Again we're not taking this solely as a
24 success because we know our work continues and as
25 long as we continue to work closely in
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 23
1 partnership with our community I think we'll
2 dramatically decrease these violent crimes in the
3 city. Thank you.
4 COMMISSIONER BELL: Thank you, Chief.
5 I think no doubt about it that Detroiters feel
6 much safer in the last year or so and as we move
7 towards a safer community we just have to really
8 work and strive towards that.
9 I spent some time just in the last two
10 weeks in Memphis, Tennessee and when you're
11 talking about crime, you're talking about police
12 officers relocating and telling people not to
13 come to Memphis because of the benefits and you
14 look at New York in reference to officers
15 shutting down in certain precincts that these
16 officers involved, you look at basically LA where
17 they have sabotaged some equipment.
18 So I just want to commend the men and
19 women here in Detroit for their professionalism
20 as we go forward in terms of -- regardless of the
21 politics, regardless of the issues that -- the
22 bottom line is you protect and serve, and I just
23 want to really acknowledge that on behalf of the
24 Board that that's basically what it's all about.
25 We know about the low pay, the morale
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 24
1 and all that, but because you raise your right
2 hand and you take an oath to serve, and I just
3 want to say I'm proud that I'm part of that
4 family of DPD as we move forward.
5 Just in the last couple of weeks we
6 have buried retired police officers. I have
7 attended funerals and the family just really we
8 just acknowledge the change in terms of the
9 Detroit PD, so I just wanted to share those brief
10 remarks with you.
11 And so we can move on with the agenda.
12 There's nothing else you want to report out,
13 Chief? I see Deputy Chief Hall is here.
14 Any other ranking officers or command
15 officers you want to acknowledge at this time.
16 Chief CRAIG: Actually we have several
17 command officers and Asst. Chief Dolunt, are you
18 still in the building?
19 COMMISSIONER BELL: He's always hiding
20 somewhere.
21 CHIEF CRAIG: Capt. Decker. If you
22 would quickly identify your command and who you
23 are starting with -- yes.
24 (VARIOUS COMMAND OFFICERS IDENTIFIED
25 THEMSELVES TO THE AUDIENCE.)

1 COMMISSIONER BELL: Let's give them all
2 a round of applause.
3 (APPLAUSE.)
4 COMMISSIONER BELL: And before we
5 continue on the agenda, if this is your first
6 meeting as far as the civilian population, would
7 you just please stand. If this is your first
8 meeting of the Board of Police Commissioners
9 ever, please stand. You have more.
10 Let's give these people a round of
11 applause for coming out on an evening like this.
12 Thank you for coming out.
13 (APPLAUSE.)
14 COMMISSIONER BELL: She said Deputy
15 Chief Hall didn't stand.
16 DEP CHIEF HALL: I'm sorry, Deputy
17 Chief Hall. I want to make sure you're clearly
18 identified, okay, in terms of your service.
19 As we move forward, Item 12 would be
20 standing subcommittee, any subcommittee reports
21 at this time?
22 Under new business would be -- we have
23 a resolution tonight for, first of all, for
24 retired police officer Sidney Taylor, III. Is
25 Sidney Taylor here? I guess we need to pause --
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 26
1 Capt. Balinski, you're going to come forward with
2 the 12th Precinct?
3 CAPT. BALINSKI: Through the Chair,
4 Capt. Ken Balinski of the 12th Precinct. I know
5 Commissioner Bell told me I have about 45
6 minutes, but I'm going to keep it short. I just
7 want to give you a little outline of what the 2th
8 Precinct is.
9 Because last year at this time I
10 addressed a new Board of Police Commissioners
11 because it was my first time coming up to the
12 podium to address, and at that time the 12th
13 Precinct was 11 square miles. Now the 12th
14 Precinct after redistricting the lines is 13
15 square miles, but as of that we still been able
16 to maintain double-digit crime reduction.
17 Our boundaries now are Eight Mile to
18 the north and south we go West McNichols, Fenkell
19 and the Lodge, west Greenfield, Schaefer and East
20 John R. and the Highland Park border.
21 Some of the known properties that we
22 have in the 12th Precinct are the Northwest
23 Activity Center, the Gateway market is now part
24 of the 12th Precinct. Last year it was part of
25 the 11th Precinct.
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 27
1 And we know that anchor store there is
2 Meijers and several other stores
3 and the Detroit Golf Club.
4 The population in Number 12 is
5 approximately 81,500 persons. Other points of
6 interest we have 20 learning facilities in the
7 12th Precinct. We have four high schools, 14
8 elementary and middle schools and two centers of
9 higher learning, University of Detroit-Mercy and
10 Marygrove College.
11 Some of the things we've done in the
12 12th Precinct, we do have a Home Invasion Task
13 Force which again this year was successful
14 reducing home invasions by 20 percent and last
15 year it was above 20 percent also, so we're
16 seeing double-digit reductions in our home
17 invasions and we're going to continue to work to
18 that end to do it again.
19 Also, the neighborhood policing
20 officers on home invasion go out and talk to the
21 victims of the home invasions so maybe that they
22 can do a little survey of the home, see what kind
23 of security they need or can afford because
24 that's another issue that they're able to cover
25 for the person who's been victimized.
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 28
1 Currently we have 14 12th Precinct
2 Youth Enforcement Explorers in our program. That
3 allows students to check out the career of a law
4 enforcement officer and I also want to have a
5 young gentleman who's at his first meeting is
6 from No. 12, he's one of our explorers.
7 Can you can introduce yourself? Go
8 ahead.
9 MR. MARTIN: My name is Justin Martin,
10 I'm a sergeant in the 2th Precinct Explorers
11 program. This is my first program, I'm 18 years
12 old.
13 (APPLAUSE.)
14 COMMISSIONER BELL: We can continue, I
15 think they're going to address that issue thank
16 you.
17 CAPT. BALINSKI: Just a side note of
18 our Explorers. I watched them yesterday doing
19 their drills and he is one good drill sergeant.
20 COMMISSIONER BELL: Are we going to
21 recruit him?
22 CAPT. BALINSKI: Absolutely. Currently
23 we're planning for Police Week and as part of
24 Police Week we try to bring in schools and people
25 into the precinct, introduce them to the officers
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 29
1 to get them to know the officers.
2 August 4 this year is going to be our
3 National Night Out which we'll be celebrating the
4 police and the community working together.
5 And during the month of November, 2014
6 we distributed 16 turkeys to needy families and
7 in December the neighborhood policing officers
8 worked with the Old Newsboys Goodfellows and
9 handed out over 4,500 packages and we also do
10 Toys for Tots, but the feather in our cap this
11 year was Sgt. Santa, and that was a very
12 successful program for us.
13 I done know if Shirley Bledsoe, Sgt.
14 Bledsoe left out or not -- come out from behind
15 that wall, Sgt. And I want to thank her and our
16 neighborhood policing officers. They ended up
17 getting three barrels of toys and $1,200, I
18 believe it was $1,200 donation which ended up
19 being Number 1 in the city for the precincts for
20 No. 12.
21 (APPLAUSE.).
22 CAPT BALINSKI: So I thank the citizens
23 for helping us out with that, it was a great
24 time. Lastly, I just want to indicate that
25 through the hard work of the officers and the
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 30
1 supervisors at the 12th Precinct we again had a
2 double-digit reduction in Part 1 crimes of 14
3 percent and that is another double-digit two
4 years in a row.
5 (APPLAUSE.)
6 COMMISSIONER BELL: Thank you, Captain.
7 COMMISSIONER MOORE: Through the Chair,
8 Captain, if a citizen wanted to get in contact
9 with you or one of your NPOs, what's the best
10 method?
11 CAPT. BALINSKI: All the NPOs and
12 myself have business cards, so when I meet
13 citizens and the NPOs do, they have business
14 cards which have their cell phone number on them,
15 it has their personal line number at work on it
16 and mine are the same way.
17 So they can contact me anytime. When I
18 give them my number at my desk, I don't give them
19 my clerk's number, I give them my number. So if
20 I'm not at my desk, they will get my voicemail
21 and I'll answer it.
22 COMMISSIONER MOORE: Thank you.
23 COMMISSIONER BELL: Any other questions
24 or concerns.
25 CHIEF CRAIG: Through the Chair, I
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 31
1 don't know, Captain, are we making a presentation
2 to a Mrs. Maggie Williams-Hinton?
3 CAPT. BALINSKI: Yes.
4 COMMISSIONER BELL: I assume we can
5 pause on that note and we're going to have
6 Commissioner Moore address Officer Taylor -- I
7 did not -- I'm looking at the agenda, but I see
8 that on the resolution that he's deceased, so we
9 want to recognize him at this particular time in
10 terms of resolution.
11 COMMISSIONER MOORE: Yes,
12 Mr. Chairman, I'll read the last part.
13 NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the
14 Detroit Board of Police Commissioners speaking
15 for the citizens of Detroit and the Detroit

Page 35
1 signed by each of -- Brenda Jones, Council
2 President, and the remaining council.
3 Congratulations.
4 (APPLAUSE.)
5 COMMISSIONER BELL: Ms. Hinton, you can
6 grab the mic and you can give your two-minute
7 speech.
8 MS. WILLIAMS-HINTON: Thank you, I
9 thought I would get away with that, but I really
10 appreciate you, thank you so much, thank you so
11 much. We're having so many problems and any way
12 that we all can help to charge the culture of our
13 youth and we're starting at -- at my center, from
14 seven years to 19 years old.
15 I have changed culture for some of the
16 kids that was going to jump out of high school,
17 they graduated from high school and they got
18 their own business. What they're doing is that
19 they're -- they have their own barbecue, fried
20 chicken and fish, so they making their money, so
21 they got their business.
22 We got seven year olds playing with
23 guns and the parents don't know. We had a seven
24 year old -- no, he was nine years old and he
25 brought a play gun to the center and I knew that
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 36
1 he did that as some of the other children his
2 age, they came out of the bathroom looking
3 wide-eyed so I had to check on that.
4 Found out he had a gun, but it was a
5 play gun, but, see, kids start at seven years
6 old. Parents, neighbors have to watch these
7 children. They got to get the children involved
8 in something that -- outside of letting them roam
9 the streets by themselves. You found when they
10 roam the streets by themselves they get pulled
11 over to get in gangs, and these kids, they're
12 scared. Some of them don't want to get involved
13 in the gangs and some don't know what to do.
14 But with the programs like changing the
15 culture program the kids will have a choice.
16 When they come over to the program at my center
17 which I'm begging for some more funds this year,
18 Wayne County has not got any funds for me this
19 year, but it's a good program for kids.
20 After school they do their homework,
21 they have a martial arts program and the martial
22 arts program is giving them discipline that they
23 need that they don't get at home.
24 I invite you all to come to my center
25 and look at the kids and if you can find some
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 37
1 money for me to continue this program, I would
2 appreciate that too because we do need -- we need
3 sponsors and we need supervisors and instructors
4 to help guide these kids where they need to be.
5 Thank you. There's lots more to it,
6 but I appreciate you and I appreciate everything
7 and I really appreciate you. Thank you very
8 much.
9 (APPLAUSE.)
10 COMMISSIONER BELL: And thank you, well
11 deserved. The Chair would entertain a motion to
12 receive the two resolutions for Officer Taylor
13 and Mrs. Maggie Williams-Hinton at this
14 particular time.
15 COMMISSIONER MOORE: So moved.
16 COMMISSIONER CRAWFORD: Support.
17 COMMISSIONER BELL: It's been properly
18 moved and seconded. Are we ready for the
19 question? Those in favor, aye?
20 COMMISSIONERS: Aye.
21 COMMISSIONER BELL: Those opposed?
22 Motion carried. And the next item would be Item
23 2 under new business, Directive 204.3, Operating
24 While Intoxicating and we all should pay
25 attention to this particular directive because we
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 38
1 know the impact of people driving intoxicated,
2 but not the people here, but we want to make sure
3 you're aware of the directive.
4 LT. MURCESON: Good morning -- I mean
5 good evening. When it's that cold outside you
6 bring out the tendency to freeze.
7 Board Chair, Commissioners, citizens,
8 distinguished guests, members of the Detroit
9 Police Department, I'm Lt. Murceson in charge of
10 our Planning and Deployment Unit, and on behalf
11 of the Detroit Police Department we wish to
12 present to the Board an up-to-date policy
13 guideline to keep our streets save from the
14 impaired drivers operating motor vehicles while
15 intoxicated.
16 The policy outlines the administrative
17 rules set forth by the Michigan Department of
18 State Police, Alcohol Enforcement Unit as well as
19 how investigations and reports shall be completed
20 by DPD members.
21 The two major aspects of the policy
22 changes fall under equipment operation and
23 interpretation and processing of blood alcohol
24 results.
25 Under equipment operation, it's going
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 39
1 to be required that personnel authorized to use
2 the Datamaster machine and the PBT test units be
3 certified by the State of Michigan. Also the
4 certified PBT which is the small units that
5 officers use out on the street will be
6 responsible for the preventative maintenance of
7 the PBT instruments while they're used in testing
8 the individual suspected of operating the motor
9 vehicles.
10 For evidentiary purposes the larger
11 units, the blood alcohol contact Datamaster
12 machines which is used at our detention center,
13 the accuracy of those units is going to be
14 required to be increased by about a 1000th of a
15 percent. So those machines are going to be
16 having to be more accurate given this policy
17 guideline.
18 As it relates to the blood alcohol
19 content, the test results, individuals with blood
20 alcohol content between .08 and .16 will be
21 arrested for operating a motor vehicle while
22 intoxicated under the City of Detroit's code as
23 opposed to the state regulatory rules.
24 So in that way the City of Detroit is
25 going to actually receive more money for those
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 40
1 fines. The fines is going to be between $100 and
2 $500 for blood alcohol content between that
3 level.
4 However, the blood alcohol content of
5 0.17 or above shall still be prosecuted under the
6 state law where the fine can be between $200 and
7 $700. Blood alcohol content under .08 from
8 individuals displaying great impairment are to be
9 conveyed to Detroit Receiving Hospital where
10 chemical tests will be required -- will be
11 requested. Individuals can still refuse that
12 test. However, their license will be suspended
13 automatically for 12 months.
14 In the event that the blood alcohol
15 content is .30 or higher they shall be
16 automatically conveyed to the Detroit Receiving
17 Hospital.
18 Those outline the major changes of this
19 policy guidelines. If everything taken together
20 we thought it would be best for the Board to
21 review the policy guidelines which if you don't
22 have a copy of that guideline I have some here if
23 you just let me know and I will give you one.
24 At this point does the Board have any
25 questions?
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 41
1 COMMISSIONER BELL: Any questions or
2 concern at this time from the board. If there's
3 no action to be taken, I guess the action would
4 be to receive this report. Commissioner White?
5 COMMISSIONER WHITE: Thank you,
6 Mr. Chair, just a point of information. First
7 and foremost, thank you, lieutenant, for a very
8 informative report.
9 Mr. Chair, I guess my point of
10 information would raise, is it the department's
11 intent to provide this as information or is it
12 the intent that at some point we would vote to
13 approve this policy directive change?
14 LT. MURCESON: Yes, please digest the
15 contents of the proposal and we will ask for you
16 at a later date to approve it, but once you have
17 received that document we will then post it on
18 the department Internet and we'll also give you
19 the results of that posting too at that time when
20 we ask you to pass the policy changes.
21 COMMISSIONER BELL: Commissioner White,
22 any further response?
23 COMMISSIONER WHITE: Not at this time,
24 Mr. Chair.
25 COMMISSIONER BELL: Any other
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 42
1 Commissioners. So, I guess Commissioners, we
2 should formulate a motion to receive this
3 document and I guess at some point in time we
4 would be asked to approve this document, but not
5 tonight. It could be 30 days, you're going to
6 post it and we can weigh in on it at a future
7 meeting perhaps if we have any questions or
8 concerns.
9 You might want to come back before this
10 body if we have some concern prior to. Would
11 that be appropriate?
12 LT. MURCESON: Yes, sir, please.
13 SECRETARY ANTHONY: Mr. Chair, there is
14 no need to motion, we can just receive the
15 document.
16 COMMISSIONER BELL: Okay, thank you,
17 sir. The Board Secretary has spoken, we're just
18 going to receive it.
19 LT. MURCESON: Thank you.
20 COMMISSIONER BELL: Thank you. Old
21 business, any old business before this body by
22 the Commissioners.
23 COMMISSIONER CRAWFORD: Yes, sir,
24 through the Chair. Four weeks ago Ms. Tonya
25 Wells attended our community meeting or the Board
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 43
1 of Police Commissioners meeting in the community.
2 At that time she stood before the
3 podium and stated before this board and all who
4 were there that some police officer pointed a gun
5 to her head on a traffic stop. Two weeks ago,
6 our last meeting, we all looked at the video that
7 was presented to us thanks to the department and
8 it was a dashcam video that was available and to
9 say the least Ms. Wells misrepresented the truth.
10 I'm being nice here.
11 It was definitely a misrepresentation
12 of the truth. Having been a police officer for a
13 number of years and all of those who are and have
14 been understand the anxiety that one may go
15 through during an investigation, particularly
16 when they didn't do anything wrong.
17 And also too there's some communication
18 her as to whether or not she filed a report or
19 not or statements were made and I know if she
20 filed an official report, perhaps she could you
21 charged with filing a false report.
22 I think we need to have our attorney
23 research that. If not, if she can't be charged
24 with filing a false report, perhaps the Board
25 needs to send a letter to Ms. Wells, you know,
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 44
1 stating the outcome of this investigation and
2 also too in the future if she makes such
3 misrepresentation of the truth before this Board
4 or in any area against a police officer, then
5 there should be some sort of repercussions.
6 So I think that we need to do as a
7 Board some sort of research as to what can be
8 done.
9 Also too recently I heard the Mayor
10 state he supports body cams for police officers.
11 I'm so glad that the Mayor has come out with a
12 statement because this Board back in the summer
13 and for months have -- a number of -- I'll say a
14 number of Board members have advocated that. And
15 something the Chief often or recently has spoke
16 about, expanding a narrative. The federal
17 government or specifically President Obama signed
18 an executive order for all police departments to
19 report to the Justice Department any sort of
20 police shootings of citizens and it even goes a
21 little bit beyond that.
22 I don't know and haven't heard -- I
23 have heard of some in the media of officers who
24 have been assaulted by citizens in the city of
25 Detroit, most notably the one who was cut with a
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 45
1 razor in the face. Also too the one that a pit
2 bull was put upon. I don't know if -- well, I
3 know the department does track assaults because
4 definitely if a police officer is assaulted then
5 they will get a warrant and charge that
6 individual and rightfully so.
7 But in terms of -- using the Chief's
8 terminology -- expanding the narrative and also
9 bringing about this balance since, you know,
10 assaults or fatal shootings or non-fatal
11 shootings by officers upon citizens should be --
12 the opposite too, assaults on the officers by
13 citizens should definitely be tracked and there
14 should -- well, I know there's some
15 accountability, I don't think -- that's not even
16 a question here.
17 But getting back to the video with
18 Ms. Wells, had it been the other way around and
19 the media would have FOIA'd that video, it would
20 have been on 2, 4, 7 at 6, 11 and 10 o'clock,
21 also in all the papers.
22 My friend Ron Scott from the Coalition
23 Against Police Brutality, he would probably be
24 marching on the precinct and I may have joined
25 them too.
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 46
1 But just to indicate that it is a
2 serious issue and also to Albuquerque, New Mexico
3 Saturday morning 3 AM, there was a police officer
4 wearing a body cam stopped a vehicle, a SUV with
5 tinted windows, approached the vehicle, the door
6 opened, the man fired a number of shots, shot the
7 officer in the leg.
8 The officer went down -- I mean, they
9 closed the door back to the vehicle, he couldn't
10 start it and that officers fired a number of
11 shots into that vehicle. The individual couldn't
12 get the vehicle started and he came out and of
13 course he ran away.
14 And the officer by the grace of God is
15 okay, but it just had all of that crystal clear
16 in that video as to what happened, not only that
17 but it was a great description too.
18 So in reference to -- getting back here
19 -- to those two officers who Ms. Wells filed a
20 complaint against, I think this Board needs to
21 send them some sort of communique too as to
22 being very professional and having the courage
23 and continue doing the great job that they're
24 doing out there in the community for this city.
25 COMMISSIONER BELL: Thank you,
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 47
1 Commissioner Crawford. You addressed two issues.
2 One is Mrs. Wells' video that we witnessed that
3 perhaps the Board Secretary could look --
4 I don't know if there was any reference to
5 follow-up on that with the Chief. I don't know
6 if there was any formal complaint, we can look
7 into that.
8 The second item, you raised the issue
9 about the Mayor, I guess the Chief, some remarks
10 in the media in reference to the body cam. I
11 don't know if the Chief wants to elaborate, but
12 we had a pilot program last year that went
13 extremely well so I would give the mic to Chief
14 Craig if he wants to respond to the body cam.
15 CHIEF CRAIG: Yes, as was pointed out,
16 Mr. Chair, we had a successful pilot. The Mayor
17 and I today met with those involved in the pilot
18 as part of our effort to move forward with a full
19 deployment.
20 At this point we're still working out
21 how we would deploy body cams, but certainly the
22 Mayor and I are in full support of equipping
23 officers with the on-body cameras.
24 COMMISSIONER BELL: Okay. Is that to
25 your satisfaction, Mr. Commissioner?
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 48
1 COMMISSIONER CRAWFORD: Oh, yes, sir.
2 COMMISSIONER BELL: Yes, sir.
3 COMMISSIONER MALLETT: The Commissioner
4 raised a question about the communication back to
5 the officers who were the subject of Ms. Wells'
6 complaint indicating that we should send a
7 letter.
8 I would assume that as a result of our
9 investigation some formal -- some kind of formal
10 communication with the officers who were involved
11 is a matter of course, is that not correct?
12 COMMISSIONER BELL: Okay, Chief
13 Investigator Drake?
14 CHIEF INV. DAVIS-DRAKE: Thank you,
15 Mr. Chair and good evening, Board. In answer to
16 the question, yes. First of all, Ms. Wells did
17 request that an investigation be conducted
18 through our office prior to her coming to the
19 Board meeting.
20 We did make a determination in that
21 matter and given the videotape it is quite clear
22 what our determination will be. There are
23 letters that go out to not only the officers that
24 are involved, but also the citizen once the case
25 has been completed and the Board has time to
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 49
1 review the document.
2 COMMISSIONERS MALLETT: Okay, thank
3 you.
4 CHIEF INV. DAVIS-DRAKE: You're welcome.
5 COMMISSIONER BELL: Commissioner, are
6 you satisfied with the explanation?
7 COMMISSIONER MALLETT: I am, thank you
8 very much, Mr. Chairman.
9 SECRETARY ANTHONY: Thank you, sir.
10 SECRETARY ANTHONY: I think the
11 Commissioner also mentioned something about
12 perhaps it being a criminal matter. As a general
13 rule, filing a false police report only regards
14 filing it to a sworn law enforcement officer our
15 9-1-1 station.
16 This would not fit being a civilian
17 investigative body.
18 COMMISSIONER BELL: Okay, thank you,
19 Mr. Secretary. We're satisfied with the
20 explanation that's been given, okay.
21 We can move on if there's no other old
22 business to come before the body we are at the
23 point in time in terms of announcement.
24 Our next Board community meeting will
25 take place on February 12, 2015, Matrix Human
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 50
1 Services Center, at 6:30 PM and that's 13560 East
2 McNichols on the east side of Detroit, that's
3 near Gratiot and Six Mile and hopefully you have
4 an agenda that were cover that item.
5 Our next meeting would be next
6 Thursday, January 15, at 3 PM at the Public
7 Safety Headquarters 1301 Third Avenue and I would
8 love to see more people attending our meeting at
9 the Public Safety Building at 3:30. We have low
10 attendance. I would hope if your schedule
11 permits that you would come out in that time
12 frame to meet at 3 o'clock. That's when we have
13 our ongoing meeting at Public Safety and there's
14 free parking and it's a really nice facility.
15 I would told in the past that we had a
16 tremendous turnout in the old 1300 Beaubien, but
17 it's not the case in our new building and we have
18 free parking.
19 So I don't know how we can attract more
20 people. Maybe we can do more public service
21 announcements and more newsletters, more website
22 and through word of mouth get more attendees
23 because we have a very -- I think we average less
24 than 10 people coming out for those meetings, and
25 that's another business opportunity where you can
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 51
1 see the operation of the Board of Police
2 Commissioners and the Detroit Police Department
3 and Chief Craig in terms of the interaction that
4 we want to try to encourage in 2015.
5 In your newsletter that the Board
6 Secretary is circulating, I hope that you have a
7 copy of that, the Commission hasn't had a chance
8 to weigh in on it, but they know we've been
9 engaging religious leaders and activists who want
10 to see the Board's power and authority restored
11 under the 2012 Detroit City Charter.
12 Detroit Pastoral Alliance for Change
13 DPAC has called a press conference for next week
14 to announce, among other things, to support a
15 fully empowered Board of Police Commissioners.
16 DPAC is also expected to talk about the American
17 call for more police officer accountability and
18 law enforcement oversight. We welcome that type
19 of involvement.
20 There's also going to be a forum on
21 January 20 we will circulate more information for
22 the Commissioners to come out for the press
23 conference and also for the prayer activities and
24 also for the public.
25 We just now -- this has just been
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 52
1 formalized this week and I'm glad it's getting
2 off the ground in terms of community support, so
3 that is in your newsletter and we're going to
4 have -- they're going to have a press conference
5 and we are going to be supportive of that effort.
6 I will be sharing that information as
7 soon as tomorrow in reference to the Board of
8 Police Commissioners coming out if they care to
9 in terms of attending that press conference with
10 all the details, but that's something that they
11 just worked on this week in terms of formulating
12 that.
13 So that's the announcements. I also on
14 a sad note want to acknowledge and our prayers
15 and condolence to Commissioner Reginald Crawford
16 in terms of the passing of his mother this week
17 and the funeral is going to be on Saturday
18 morning at Ebenezer Church on Dequindre, that is
19 Bishop Vann's church.
20 The funeral is going to be at 9:30, the
21 family hour is going to be at 9. We offer our
22 condolence to Commissioner Crawford. I didn't
23 anticipate him coming this evening, but it's good
24 to see him and surely he's needing your prayers
25 and support in terms of this condolence in terms
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 53
1 of his mother's service this coming Saturday
2 morning, who keep him and the family in our
3 prayers and support, so we offer that.
4 Now comes to Item 16 would be oral
5 communication from the audience. You have two
6 minutes. We are somewhat liberal with that, but
7 we hope that you stay on point and don't make a
8 commentary note of that, so I can please come
9 forward to the mic.
10 Clearly identify yourself, be
11 respectful and we are respectful to you and give
12 you that time frame. As I stated in the past,
13 unlike the Council, you don't have to sign up for
14 it, you just show up and you get the mic. I
15 think that's one of the luxuries of having this
16 Board of Commissioners in terms of engaging in
17 the community.
18 I see a couple of people,
19 representative from Council President Jones'
20 office there. Yes, sir.
21 MR. WILSON: Good evening. My name is
22 -- I'm the -- and sometimes infamous depending
23 upon who you talk to Tom Wilson, or as I sign my
24 letters to the editor Thomas A. Wilson, Jr.
25 What I'd like to say is this. In terms
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 54
1 of when Mr. Orr finished his job as emergency
2 manager Mr. Orr gave powers back to the City
3 Council, he gave powers back to the Mayor, but he
4 left you all unempowered and I think that it's
5 wrong. You all should have the same kind of
6 powers that the City's bible, which is the City
7 Charter, gave you when they redid the Charter and
8 we voted for it back in 2012 or whenever.
9 And another thing, in regards to -- and
10 I've said this before -- in regards to the
11 position of Police Chief, personally I think it
12 should be an elected position because Chief Craig
13 could have the greatest plan in terms of fighting
14 crime since high button shoes and sliced bread,
15 but if he doesn't go in synch with the Mayor,
16 well, is he going to bite the hand that feeds him
17 or is he just going to go ahead and try and ride
18 off in the sunset and go somewhere else.
19 But I mean I often say this, I'm a
20 small fish in a big pond and David Brinkley
21 called in a book that says I have an opinion and
22 you're entitled to it.
23 But, you know, and then my last
24 statement is this. In terms of the crime going
25 down, Chief Craig, and Detroit finest, I have the
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 55
1 utmost respect for you and you all are a
2 different breed of people, just like teachers
3 which I was a former teacher, I retired, but they
4 do what is a thankless job and, you know, but
5 when -- as long as things are going right you
6 think someone is going to pat them on the back,
7 but you let one person, one police officer, go
8 out and do something wrong, they want to grab
9 that big old broad brush and they want to say all
10 of them are like that, and that is far from the
11 truth.
12 I would say 99.44 100 percent of those
13 police officers when they get up in the morning
14 and don that badge and put that blue uniform on,
15 they leave, they want to go home and come back
16 home just like I do, and I have the utmost
17 respect for you all and the job you do.
18 And let us meaning -- this is no
19 Ferguson, this is not us versus them, this is
20 Detroit. As Paul Harvey says this is how we do
21 it in the D. We've got to have cooperation. I
22 mean -- I mean -- okay, I'm going to wrap it up.
23 Are things where we want it, no, it's not where
24 we want it, but there's always room for
25 improvement.
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 56
1 But like I said, I have the utmost
2 respect to you and the department and the
3 community. We will continue to work together and
4 we will continue to bring those crime statistics
5 down; thank you.
6 (APPLAUSE.)
7 COMMISSIONER BELL: Thank you, sir,
8 for your remarks; appreciate it. Yes, ma'am.
9 MS. DOBBINS: Good evening. My name is
10 Vicki Dobbins, I'm from River Rouge. Thank you
11 to the Chief and to the Commission for accepting
12 my comment tonight.
13 We just selected the River Rouge Chief
14 of Police, first African-American female
15 downriver ever, okay. I just wanted to bring
16 that to your attention. I'm quite sure you know
17 it, but at the same time we need to give her the
18 most utmost support. That lady is going to need
19 so much support, not only from River Rouge and
20 Ecorse and the downriver area, but also from
21 previous Wayne County Sheriff that she has worked
22 for before in her lifetime.
23 So, again, I would just like to say
24 please don't forget our Chief of Police, her name
25 in Debra Price-Allen. Thank you so much for
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 57
1 having me, okay, and Chief.
2 COMMISSIONER BELL: Thank you, and
3 please invite your Chief to come out and attend
4 one of our meetings, I will receive her and we
5 would appreciate it and welcome her. I'm pretty
6 sure Chief Craig will be willing to work with her
7 and helping her in any way that he possible can,
8 also the Board of Police Commissioners.
9 Yes, sir.
10 MR. CABACARONS: Greetings, honorable
11 Board and Chief. My name is Kenneth Cabacarons.
12 I'm the president of Metro Detroit Cab Drivers
13 Association.
14 First and foremost the association would
15 like to give our condolences to losing your
16 mother. I know I always -- I open up my mouth
17 sometimes and I hear my grandmother speaking to
18 me, so -- but I'm going to say this. It's good to
19 see you here, specially in light of what's going
20 on in your life.
21 But down to the business at hand. I
22 have letters here that we had sent out. We have
23 some serious issues that are going on with law
24 enforcement and the cab drivers. We have already
25 been and we've talked, there was supposed to have
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 58
1 been a line of communication open, supposed to
2 have been a moratorium that was dealing with
3 citations and, Chief, that has not been
4 happening, you know.
5 So we have a situation that, you know,
6 we know you got a hard job. Law enforcement has
7 a hard job, but we also know that black
8 businesses matter in this city and we're talking
9 about -- you're talking about entrepreneurs that
10 are cab drivers.
11 We're being shut down by Uber, they
12 have come in here that we believe that is being
13 illegal. We have outside entities that are
14 looking at the internal operating agreement that
15 was signed by this city. So what we're trying to
16 do is first and foremost let's get down to the
17 issues at hand.
18 Public vehicles license, we asked you
19 to take the driver's license off the front so it
20 wouldn't be identity theft; that didn't happen,
21 and y'all said you was going to do it.
22 You said the lines of communications
23 was going to be open; that hasn't happened. We
24 have reached out to your department, to your
25 office, and we haven't been getting any response.
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 59
1 We asked that our public vehicle
2 license be extended until February 1st because of
3 the fact that Public Vehicles Department didn't
4 start issuing licenses until the 15th of December
5 and then the last week of December 36th District
6 Court was closed where we couldn't get our public
7 vehicles clearance, so we're asking for an
8 extension on that.
9 We're also in the midst of the North
10 American International Auto Show. Starting
11 Sunday will be press week. When we had our
12 meeting with you at the church in October you
13 said you have never been to a city that didn't
14 have a -- they always had a cab stand outside
15 their convention center. We don't have that.
16 So we would like to see and humbly
17 request that there's a special event cab stand
18 not only at Cobo, but at any other major function
19 that's going on. So we are -- I believe I've
20 covered the major issues, special events, but we
21 still want that line of communications open
22 because when you had it, at least we had --
23 because, brother, you know you being the general,
24 you're the Chief of Police. I'm a military man
25 and when you have the general, you give out the
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 60
1 orders and the orders aren't carried out by the
2 troops, there seem to me that -- I don't know and
3 this is me speaking -- but that's a lack of
4 respect for the leadership.
5 So we need to go ahead and start
6 getting to the point of -- because we got these
7 guys -- we got people that are getting $1,500
8 worth of tickets at one time. That is -- how is
9 a small businessperson supposed to survive
10 because your license is in jeopardy, that means
11 that your livelihood. Used to be that being a
12 transporter or cab driver was the middle class,
13 you're entry level to middle class. It's not
14 happening like that. We're being pushed out of
15 downtown Detroit.
16 So what is this -- is it being
17 capitalist, racism or is it being economic
18 regenefication.
19 COMMISSIONER BELL: Okay, sir --
20 MR. CABACARONS: What's going -- I
21 mean, I understand, sir. I mean, I'm trying to
22 show -- and I'm being nice because I know that
23 there's people here out of the church, but I
24 really want to say it the way the membership
25 wants me to say it, but I'm being nice with that,
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 61
1 but I appreciate your time.
2 So what I'm going to do is who do I
3 need to give a copy -- I see the 2nd Deputy Chief
4 Washington isn't here.
5 COMMISSIONER BELL: Well, you're
6 addressing the Board, so if you're going to share
7 that with the Board Secretary and share it with
8 the Board of Commissioners, and I think the Chief
9 wants to respond in terms of your remarks in
10 terms of the line of communication.
11 I know this is a serious issue for the
12 cab drivers and I know you've been before the
13 Council, you've met with the Chief. I think
14 somewhere along the line the buck probably has
15 stopped with the Mayor. On some issues you raise
16 about cab stand, the whole protocol, so maybe you
17 need to address not just the Council, but the
18 Mayor of Detroit. Some of those issues falls
19 within his territory, perhaps you need to maybe
20 start from the top.
21 But Chief Craig probably wants to
22 respond and I'll give the mic to him at this
23 time.
24 CHIEF CRAIG: It is a fact that we did
25 meet in October. This is a first time I've heard
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 62
1 of any grievances you had. You have not reached
2 out to my office, at least it didn't come to my
3 attention.
4 At this meeting I remind you that the
5 city attorney was present as well as other
6 members of not only the Mayor's staff, but a full
7 room, open lines of communication. There was
8 follow-up plans, there was a moratorium placed.
9 I can't give you an up to date, but I can tell
10 you with certainty you did not reach out to my
11 office.
12 If the line of communications stop post
13 October, then my suggestion would have been you
14 should have reached out to my office and we could
15 have conducted a follow-up.
16 I know that Deputy Chief Hall was here
17 -- is she still here.
18 MR. CABACARONS: Well, Washington was
19 our point person.
20 CHIEF CRAIG: And Capt. Petty who works
21 in the 1st Precinct, so again I open the door for
22 follow-up, but you have not reached out
23 post-October. So when you make statements that
24 the lines of communication have been severed I
25 would offer that I disagree.
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 63
1 They're open and I would be willing to
2 meet with you and my staff in the coming week.
3 You can certainly contact my office and we'll set
4 that up.
5 MR. CABACARONS: Okay, well,
6 understand, sir, we have reached out to 2nd
7 Deputy Chief Washington and there was ongoing up
8 until Thanksgiving, but the point being, sir, and
9 I'm not saying --
10 CHIEF CRAIG: There was communication
11 --
12 MR. CABACARONS: But understand with
13 the moratorium with my phone ringing off the hook
14 all times of the time with these guys getting
15 tickets and I'm not trying to hold this up, sir,
16 but it's like the moratorium, the drivers have
17 been undue -- it's still abuse, it's still abuse.
18 So I will hopefully once Sister
19 Washington called me yesterday --
20 CHIEF CRAIG: So there was
21 communication as recently as yesterday.
22 MR. CABACARONS: She called me
23 yesterday and we weren't able to sit down there,
24 but she wants -- I got the tickets in my
25 briefcase that I will leave with whoever you tell
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 64
1 me.
2 COMMISSIONER BELL: Okay, sir, could we
3 close this out?
4 MR. CABACARONS: We can.
5 COMMISSIONER BELL: The Chief is going
6 to establish communication, he made it quite
7 clear, so I assume that's going to be tomorrow
8 morning that you communication with the Chief's
9 office and I'm pretty sure he's a man of his own
10 words in terms of responding to you.
11 So could we close this out and give
12 somebody else the opportunity --
13 MR. CABACARONS: Then I will say this
14 though, that the association is definitely is in
15 support that there's civilian oversight and has
16 its power back that comes into play, because we
17 don't want the fox guarding the hen house here.
18 Thank you, sir.
19 COMMISSIONER CRAWFORD: Excuse me,
20 through the Chair because I know months back and
21 I was also in that meeting, the particular one
22 you're talking about I went to and you and I have
23 communicated too.
24 Some of your grievances were resolved
25 back a few months ago and now there seems to be
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 65
1 kind of a --
2 MR. CABACARONS: There was a moratorium
3 and there's still talk going on, but I'm totally
4 in agreement with what Commissioner Bell is
5 saying in that I see it's going to have to come
6 from the top.
7 We tried to work this out through the
8 department and it's not working, so we're going
9 to have to go and the buck, it has to stop with
10 the Mayor.
11 COMMISSIONER CRAWFORD: But most
12 importantly here, I know the auto show starts in
13 a week or so.
14 MR. CABACARONS: Sunday.
15 COMMISSIONER CRAWFORD: Sunday and that
16 is big -- that is probably the biggest period for
17 cabs in the city and also too I know the biggest
18 limo night, you can't given get a limo at that
19 black tie event.
20 MR. CABACARONS: So hopefully we'll be
21 able to get this worked out.
22 COMMISSIONER BELL: Yes, sir and
23 perhaps Commissioner Crawford could still be that
24 liaison on behalf of the Board in terms of what
25 impact we might have. Perhaps he can still weigh
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 66
1 in on it in reference to the Chief's office, the
2 Mayor's office, whatever endeavors that we might
3 have.
4 I understand the nature of your concern
5 has been quite pressing, but make sure you keep
6 those lines of communication and your
7 documentation and etc in reference to the Chief's
8 office in terms of -- and keep us informed, keep
9 us in the loop and we'll try our best to try to
10 get a response.
11 MR. CABACARONS: We're going to start
12 making more of the meetings over at -- wherever
13 we need to be.
14 COMMISSIONER BELL: Okay, thank you,
15 sir. Any others?
16 MR. JONES: Good evening, Board. My
17 name is Daniel Jones. I part of the cab
18 association too. I just received 10 tickets as a
19 cab driver. I can no longer drive a cab. I have
20 a CDL, I can't even get my CDL license now, I'm
21 out of work.
22 COMMISSIONER BELL: Duly noted, sir and
23 I'm pretty sure that the gentleman is going to
24 address those concerns.
25 Any other comments?
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 67
1 MR. CUMMINGS: Good evening,
2 Commissioners, happy new year. My name is Marcus
3 Cummings. I'm the current vice-president of
4 Schaefer Lodge Association. Welcome to District
5 2. Thank you for being here.
6 Our president, Mr. Winfred Blackman,
7 and I'm not sure if he's coming up tonight, will
8 be coming to address the issues that we have with
9 medical marijuana, this new endeavor we seek
10 through the State with their shops and the
11 enforcement and how do we go about that and I
12 will let him speak to that.
13 I'm here tonight to say, one, I want to
14 applaud the police department for their hard
15 work. I definitely want to applaud our captain
16 who is the most successful captain, between him
17 and I've had the honor of volunteering at No. 11,
18 Capt. Balinski and Capt. Leach are probably two
19 of the most successful captains I've met in this
20 department and they do a lot in terms of their
21 community work and they are outstanding.
22 The issue that we though see in the
23 community is not with the department but with the
24 breakdown in the criminal justice system here in
25 Wayne County.
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 68
1 And we're wondering if this Commission
2 will be reaching out to our sheriff's department,
3 our prosecutor's office and also our state
4 legislature.
5 It's unfortunate we had a horrible
6 shooting on Norfolk and Roselawn, a young man was
7 set to testify in an armed robbery case. His
8 house was shot up, he was killed.
9 The detectives in the 12th Precinct
10 worked hard, they caught the assailants in that
11 case, those assailants were given a very low
12 bond.
13 The issue that we have is how someone
14 like Mr. Campbell can get a $300,000 bond here in
15 Wayne County but people who are out murdering
16 people get off for about $2,500 and then I go
17 back and then they shoot more people.
18 And this is problem, we have the
19 revolving door of injustice in Wayne County and
20 we hope that this Commission will meet with our
21 other elected officials to work on legislation
22 saying that we need mandatory minimums for bonds.
23 If you are charged with murder, you
24 should get no bond no less than $500,000 or 10
25 percent of that, and then we won't see some of
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 69
1 these folks who get off go back and shoot the
2 people that are set to testify against them.
3 So I want to thank the hard working men
4 and women of this department for going out there,
5 working hard to catch the criminals and I just
6 feel heartbroken for them once they do to see
7 these idiots back out on the street because
8 they're able to make bond.
9 So I thank this Commission for your
10 time.
11 COMMISSIONER BELL: Thank you, sir. So
12 the Commissioner could entertain bringing forth
13 the Chief Judge of the Third Circuit Court and
14 also the Chief Judge of 36th District Court to
15 address those concerns because we haven't had any
16 interaction with them as far as the criminal
17 justice system, so we can entertain in terms of
18 bringing those two Chief judges if they're so
19 kind to come before this body to speak to the
20 issues that you brought to our attention as we
21 formulate our agenda for 2015 and thank you
22 again.
23 Any other comments from the audience?
24 MR. SCOTT: Good evening, Board. I
25 just want to say that I think -- oh, yeah, my
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 70
1 name is Ron Scott.
2 Anyway, I just am glad that the Board
3 is here and is engaged in this forum. It should
4 be a civics lesson to everyone that this is in
5 fact democracy in action. And so I'm glad that
6 the ministers are going to step up and say
7 something about this.
8 I think that having been around and
9 having argued for it and pushed for it during the
10 anti-STRESS period for the creation of this
11 Board, also having pushed for the recruitment of
12 more African-Americans to be on the police force
13 at that particular time and police officers
14 should be pushing for this. The DPOA should be
15 pushing, the command because when they have a
16 problem, they too can come to the Police
17 Commission if they have a problem internally, so
18 it's not just for the citizens alone, it's also
19 for officers and for the men and women of the
20 Detroit Police Department for their
21 consideration.
22 So if you deprive one of democracy, you
23 deprive everyone of democracy and so within that
24 context, it's not just a question of the Board,
25 it's a question of we the citizens being deprived
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 71
1 of our democratic rights.
2 So therefore this is as important as
3 any other fight in the civil rights movement and
4 this is in fact as imperative as the Voting
5 Rights Act.
6 So in effect that's what we're really
7 fighting for. I just wanted to kind of capsulize
8 it that this is something that at some point
9 certain people in the world fight for and die for
10 the right to vote for things, so in that context
11 I laud you for continuing the battle and we will
12 continue it with you.
13 Condolences to Commissioner Crawford.
14 Chief, I agree with you, I'm very glad that there
15 is a reduction, but I'd like to go back and say
16 having worked with Save our Sons and Daughters,
17 Stop the Violence movement, we worked over the
18 last 10, 15 years with the Coalition Against
19 Police Brutality, Peace Zones for Life, Mothers
20 of Murdered Children.
21 Rev. Vann has ring in the new year with
22 a bell, not a bullet. All of those organizations
23 have contributed to what we see as a reduction in
24 crime. Tom Adams and his organization in terms
25 of returning offenders, these things collectively
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 72
1 resolve or diminish the effort, the violence at
2 this particular point.
3 And so essentially we collectively as a
4 community do it. I'm glad you made reference to
5 the community, Chief, but I wanted to put some
6 names there, I wanted to mention some names of
7 people, not just the community, but the names of
8 the people who've been out there.
9 Like Charity Hicks who just recently
10 died who talked about waging peace. Those are
11 the kinds of people who have brought to bear this
12 consciousness that violence is too much and we've
13 had enough and we need to do something about it.
14 So that in conjunction with those of
15 you in the uniform need to do that.
16 And finally I just want to say this. I
17 was asked on two occasions to talk about alleged
18 efforts to use the context of the moment of
19 understanding that Detroit which is far in
20 advance of Ferguson and everywhere else of having
21 police oversight that people around the country
22 are fighting about, that there were going to be
23 attempts to attack officers.
24 And I said these do not reflect any of
25 the people that I know. They don't reflect
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 73
1 anything like this and so I think when these
2 things are brought up that -- and I have to thank
3 AC Dolunt, because you and I said almost the same
4 thing.
5 You said "walk a mile in my shoes",
6 didn't you say something like that? And I said
7 we don't advocate violence against police
8 officers, you don't advocate violence against
9 citizens and I think that was something that
10 ironically enough in both hands we were saying
11 the same thing, that we have to be conscious that
12 media raises these kinds of questions that we
13 have to stand for peace regardless of any side.
14 We can't be seen as individuals who
15 want to go out and attack somebody because they
16 have a blue uniform or a blue shirt. That is not
17 where this city is, that is not the kind of
18 people we are. We deal with issues and not
19 individuals.
20 So I just wanted to say that and put
21 that on the record and, and Pamela Davis-Drake,
22 I'm apologizing to you. You attempted to contact
23 me -- no, she wants this on the record.
24 We tried to contact you, you didn't
25 have enough time to get in touch with us. We'll
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 74
1 be contacting you soon, we want about three or
2 four or five or six investigators to come up.
3 Thank you.
4 COMMISSIONER CRAWFORD: Through the
5 Chair, Mr. Scott I want to thank you for that
6 late night call a few weeks ago and that was that
7 call about that a graffiti that was on the wall
8 of Boysville. You were quite disturbed about it.
9 MR. SCOTT: I thought it was horrible.
10 COMMISSIONER CRAWFORD: And I read your
11 response in the media and I thank you for those
12 responses and in case everyone hadn't -- and some
13 may be puzzled as to what I'm talking about,
14 there was graffiti painted on the wall of
15 Boysville which depicted a police officer with
16 his hands up and a black youth I would assume I
17 guess one could say with a halo and some angel
18 wings with a gun in his hand shooting the officer
19 in the back.
20 So I want to thank you for that and
21 addressing that issue to the public and I can
22 assure you in this year 2015 I will be a
23 commissioner in perpetual motion, in perpetual
24 motion. You know Aaron Pryor used to fight out
25 of Cincinnati, he was called The Hawk and he
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 75
1 fought pound for pounds, at one time he was the
2 greatest and he fought in perpetual motion.
3 So that's what we'll see out of me this
4 year. Thank you.
5 COMMISSIONER BELL: Mother Bernice?
6 MS. SMITH: Good evening to the Board
7 and to the Chief, welcome, and a blessed new year
8 to everybody and welcome, Conrad. For the
9 public, Conrad and I go way back. Of course I'm
10 older than he is because I come along with his
11 daddy when he held him --
12 COMMISSIONER BELL: Mother Bernice,
13 don't tell your age, just speak to the issue,
14 don't tell you age.
15 MS. SMITH: I'm proud of it. But
16 anyway, I'm a member of our Police Chief Advisory
17 Committee and he's doing a good job and advising
18 us on quite a few things, but what I come before
19 you this evening is I have been working with
20 Faleek Shaboz in regards to seeing that the
21 rapist is being apprehended and as all of you
22 know I imagine through the news that he was
23 caught yesterday morning on the Jackson -- in
24 Jackson on the bus.
25 Now, I wasn't walking, I can tell you
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 76
1 that because I can't do much walking, the arches
2 will not let me walk, but I did survey the
3 neighborhood there on John R. and Church; it is
4 terrible, it is terrible.
5 You have new houses that has been built
6 in that area and an average of six to seven of
7 them were vandalized, the windows were broken and
8 I went up four blocks, went up one block, down
9 another one while the other ones were walking and
10 it's a disgrace -- I said this on the radio the
11 other night -- it's a disgrace that we have
12 facilities that will accommodate us, but we don't
13 appreciate it -- some of us, I not saying all --
14 some of us, but it's terrible because I'd never
15 been in that area before and I saw something that
16 I never thought I would see in Highland Park.
17 But in the meantime we got together
18 with the police, Capt. Connie -- Conrad I guess
19 his name is -- and the Mayor, they had the press
20 conference as most of you know yesterday and he
21 had arraigned this morning.
22 And I'm so happy that people came out
23 not only to parade up and down the street with
24 us, but also to let the police know that you will
25 tell. We can't keep all this to ourselves. Same
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 77
1 thing is happening in Detroit.
2 The Chief needs help. He asks you
3 every time he's before the newspaper we need
4 help. Tell what happens. If there's any crime
5 that you're aware of, don't do it because of the
6 money part, do it because you live in the city of
7 Detroit and you want a clean city, you want the
8 police to be able to get out here and not be
9 afraid to apprehend these criminals, and the
10 Chief is doing a -- I'm not going to say it --
11 but he's doing a hell of a job anyway. But when
12 he does something wrong, I will tell him and the
13 same thing with the police department. I love
14 them truly and if they do anything wrong, I will
15 come before this Board and I'll let it to be
16 known publicly.
17 I am proud to be a citizen here in
18 Detroit, I'm originally from Chicago and you know
19 what Chicago is like now, but anyway the fact is
20 we got a heck of a good city that we live in and
21 let's not destroy it by not telling and hiding
22 any crooks that we know that has done wrong in
23 our city. We will be very very blessed and I
24 pray every day that the police department
25 continue to be safe when they go out.
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 78
1 I tell each and every one when I see,
2 "you be careful out there now and look out for
3 your back." I want them to be the way -- I know
4 time is up, I know, but anyway we're blessed with
5 the police document that we have and welcome
6 again, Conrad. Hope to see you again at another
7 meeting and you, Reverend, glad to see you also.
8 So we'll see what you're going to do for us. You
9 take care.
10 COMMISSIONER BELL: Yes, sir.
11 EARL C.: Hello, Board. My name is
12 Earl. And I first of all want to give most
13 respect to the Board and respect to the DPD
14 because my brother was part of the DPD for five
15 years, so I understand how much spirit, how much
16 energy it takes to be a part of it.
17 And part of the reason why he's not a
18 part of DPD is that we both went and we actually
19 opened up a gym together in Oakland County. One
20 of the reasons we did that is because I was one
21 of the first black-owned marijuana dispensaries
22 within Oakland County, and not to mention the
23 first light-skinned person to own a marijuana
24 dispensary and I'm kind of proud of that because
25 I am light skinned, but I just wanted to mention
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 79
1 that real quick.
2 But -- and I also apologize on my
3 behalf of my sandals. I do not wear shoes and I
4 try to be consistent in my personality, but this
5 2 degree weather, it's really kind of questioning
6 my character.
7 But I wanted to just kind of speak on
8 the behalf -- I understand that the issue is
9 being really controversial at the moment, but I
10 did want to speak on behalf that there are
11 businesses that are professional, there are
12 businesses that are providing safe access to
13 legitimate patients and there are businesses that
14 are actually providing a great service to those
15 who don't want to go to the black market, to the
16 black corner. I just wanted to make that aware.
17 I understand it's controversial, I
18 understand you guys got a job to do, but at the
19 moment there are people who are involved in the
20 industry that if were in Oakland County.
21 We did get raided in Oakland County,
22 but we ended up after four years of fighting in
23 court actually winning the case because we did
24 was by the book, and that did not go well with
25 them, but that proves that you can be a business
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 80
1 owner in this industry, do things legitimately
2 and benefit the community and the County.
3 And the fact that I'm here now and I
4 hear how much I can be involved in the community,
5 I will be one of the ones that help donate to the
6 organization that came here earlier today, I will
7 be more involved in the community, but I just
8 wanted to comment. I understand it's a
9 controversial industry and comment, but there are
10 people who are legitimate in this business, not
11 being greedy, not take advantage of people and
12 are giving a legitimate service; thank you.
13 COMMISSIONER BELL: Thank you, sir.
14 COMMISSIONER CRAWFORD: What's your
15 last name? You said Earl.
16 EARL C: Earl C, thank you very
17 much. I'm just not sure how that's going to go
18 after today.
19 COMMISSIONER BELL: You can go back to
20 Oakland County, we going to love you anyway.
21 Make those donations to Detroiters though, we
22 still love you.
23 EARL C.: I'm in Detroit now.
24 COMMISSIONER BELL: I understand.
25 Yes, ma'am.
1/8/20151/8/2015

1 SGT. BLEDSOE: Good evening,
2 Commission. My name is Sgt. Bledsoe, 12th
3 Precinct Community Relations. I just wanted to
4 make a small announcement. We are in the
5 process, the 12th Precinct, of getting a clergy
6 coalition together and for those clergy who I do
7 not have your e-mail or have the address of your
8 church or have not been to your church to deliver
9 this invitation.
10 I'd like to take this opportunity to
11 invite you on Tuesday, January 13 of this year,
12 the time will be 1 PM to 2 PM at the 12th
13 Precinct, 1441 West Seven Mile Road an
14 opportunity to come and meet face to face with
15 your command officer at your Detroit Police
16 precinct station.
17 You can express your concern and help
18 find solutions. Our agenda is to establish a
19 permanent clergy council for the Detroit Police
20 Department's 12th Precinct. Let's works
21 together. So if I have not made contact with
22 you, I don't have your e-mail, if you have not
23 received this letter at your church yet, you can
24 see me or I can be reached at 313-596-1221.
25 Thank you.
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 82
1 COMMISSIONER BELL: Sgt. Bledsoe, I
2 just want to say that Sgt. Bledsoe was one of our
3 OCI staff members and we have groomed her in what
4 you see today and it's a blessing to --
5 SGT. BLEDSOE: Well, thank you very
6 much.
7 COMMISSIONER BELL: So I just wanted to
8 make that acknowledgment. Thank you.
9 I assume there's no other announcements
10 at the mic. I'd like to give our newly
11 commissioner to the Board, Commissioner Vann and
12 Commissioner Mallett, I don't know if they had an
13 opportunity to speak. The last community meeting
14 I arrived late, I don't know if they had the
15 opportunity to express their concerns or opinion,
16 whatever they want to say. This would be the
17 opportunity if you want to make some brief
18 remarks if you care to.
19 COMMISSIONER VANN: Oh, no, I'm not
20 timid and shy, I will speak out. I'm very -- I
21 mean I'm very apprised of the process, this is
22 not my first time at the radio and so I'm very
23 honored to be here and honored to serve the
24 citizens of the city of Detroit, most especially
25 in District 2, so I feel right at home. I know
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 83
1 everybody and I'm having a good time.
2 COMMISSIONER BELL: Okay. Commissioner
3 Mallett.
4 COMMISSIONER MALLETT: Mr. Chairman,
5 the -- I'd never been a member of the Police
6 Commission, but Lord knows that I've done more
7 than my share of public service. I'm in this --
8 but this is particularly an important
9 opportunity. My father was a Detroit police
10 officer for five years and my godfather is the
11 legendary Frank Blunt, so I got a lot of this
12 tradition, so it's good to be here, good to be
13 back in this particular milieu, and like Rev.
14 Vann, I've never seen a microphone -- let me take
15 that back. Speaking only for myself and not
16 Bishop Vann, I've never turned down an
17 opportunity to speak in front of a microphone, so
18 don't worry, Mr. Chairman, I'll speak right up
19 when I need to.
20 COMMISSIONER BELL: Yes, sir. I just
21 wanted to make sure that the community
22 acknowledge you and appreciate you in terms of
23 the newly formed -- and yes, sir.
24 MR. CLEMENT: Greetings, great Board
25 and Commission. My name is Richard C. Clement,
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 84
1 I'm the legislative aide for Councilman George
2 pro tem Cushinberry and I know the gentleman just
3 got up here and spoke about the medical marijuana
4 and that growing business about it.
5 Well, we looked it over and we know
6 that Colorado has made over $329 million in sales
7 and the point is -- I'll cut to the chase -- we
8 know that police and firefighters have taken a
9 cut through this claw-back provision. I did a
10 little research and a claw-back provision in a
11 police contract is where basically they took the
12 police and firefighters' benefits and cut them
13 because of the financial condition.
14 Now that we have -- we're looking for
15 revenue and businesses and things like that, this
16 medical marijuana industry is like unchartered
17 waters, just like we appointed the new City
18 Council person.
19 What the plan was looking at is taking
20 some of that profit from some of these places,
21 that's including the industrial hemp that grown
22 by the farmer, the male plant which doesn't get
23 you high, and using that revenue to refund or
24 repopulate or restore the police and firefighter
25 cuts they had to take during the financial
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 85
1 conditions.
2 Because in your claw-back position the
3 only reason you got your claw-back is because we
4 was broke. Not that we're not broke, we can use
5 the funds and the revenue from this new industry
6 to fund the pensions of the police and fire
7 department, okay, and the general retirees.
8 So we have to think outside the box so
9 much you got to look like ball, and if you're
10 broke you got to make money, you got to do
11 something.
12 And we've got to create jobs and let's
13 get some education out here and I like to
14 compliment the Detroit Police Department for all
15 their good work and fire and as I say my older
16 brother was a cop for 35 years diving in the
17 water and scuba diving.
18 And another thing too, there's o
19 swimming lessons over here at the Northwest
20 Activity Center so we kind of wonder if we could
21 get some guys out of the scuba diving unit to
22 teach -- Adams Butzel, come over there and do
23 some swimming and teach some lessons and
24 hopefully we get and pay it forward.
25 Other than that, keep up the good work,
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 86
1 peace.
2 COMMISSIONER CRAWFORD: Through the
3 Chair, Mr. Clement. I knew you would be in
4 support of this. So your suggestion is the
5 citizens smoke, there's a profit and that could
6 be used for pensions?
7 MR. CLEMENT: Not only smoke, but other
8 things, making wool fiber, clothing and stuff
9 like that. It's a growing industry.
10 COMMISSIONER BELL: You're part of the
11 Council, so that's another issue.
12 MR. CLEMENT: I just want to let the
13 folks know that I did inspect some of those
14 places and some of them are very well run.
15 COMMISSIONER CRAWFORD: No pun
16 intended, it is a growing industry, yeah.
17 COMMISSIONER BELL: That's beyond our
18 level. On that note, I think we are prepared to
19 close out the meeting. I want to thank you once
20 again for coming out tonight in this warm weather
21 for your attendance and input, we welcome that,
22 and as you go forth in 2015 keep in mind that we
23 have elected commissioners and we have appointed
24 commissioners, but we have a Charter-mandated
25 collectively to address the concerns of the
1/8/20151/8/2015
Page 87
1 community and we're all in this together, whether
2 it be DPD or civilian and we just want to move
3 forward.
4 And I want to say thank you for coming
5 out from South Carolina. You didn't bring enough
6 warm weather with you, but it's good and bless
7 you and safe travel and the Chair would entertain
8 a motion for adjournment.
9 COMMISSIONER VANN: So moved.
10 COMMISSIONER CRAWFORD: Second.
11 COMMISSIONER BELL: Properly moved and
12 seconded. Ready for the question? Those in
13 favor, aye?
14 COMMISSIONERS: Aye.
15 COMMISSIONER BELL: Motion carries.
16 Thank you.
