TRU Returns
- Violent crime was down in the city last year, exceeding the goal James Craig set when he became police chief in July, but he insisted Thursday he isn’t satisfied, which is why he’s replaced the head of the Homicide Section, and will roll out a new “plan of action” for fighting crime next week.
There were 333 criminal homicides in Detroit in 2013 — the same number as the city of New York, which has a population of 8.3 million compared with Detroit’s 700,000. Detroit saw a 14 percent reduction in homicides in 2013.
“We ended 2013 with the exact same number of homicides as New York,” Craig said during a press conference at Police Headquarters Thursday. “I’m not proud of this. We’re trending in the right direction, but we still have work to do.”
Kind of a riff on the "progress, not success" that McCompStat was saying the other day. There must be some sort of "boss-speak" paper floating out there that chiefs use at their press conferences. But the big news is that TRU has made a reappearance:
- One reason for the drop in crime, Craig said, was a stronger emphasis on COMPSTAT, which is a data-driven approach. Also, the new Tactical Response Unit has gotten guns off the street; the unit confiscated 17 illegal guns in its first two days of operation.
“When we stop someone with an illegal gun, we’ve probably stopped a robbery,” Craig said. “We’ve probably stopped a shooting.”
Whoops - there's that CompStat thing again. Even in Detroit. And using the "we probably stopped...." words right out of the playbook. And guess what else he's doing?
- Craig instituted a “stop and frisk” policy, similar to the one started in New York by the man Craig says is his mentor, William Bratton of the Bratton Group, which was brought in as a consultant to fix Detroit’s police department.
Of course, "stop-and-frisk" will no longer be used in New York as their socialist mayor is dropping the city's appeal to overturn a federal court ruling. No word on how that may affect Detroit.
Here's a funny little CompStat trick they slip in - you have to read all the way to the end of the article to see it though:
Here's a funny little CompStat trick they slip in - you have to read all the way to the end of the article to see it though:
- When Craig took over, the average response time was 58 minutes, but the chief changed the way response time is counted by starting the clock when a dispatcher assigns a run to police, rather than when the 911 call is first placed. He said that was the national standard for counting response times.
"National Standard under CompStat" they mean. When we personally call the police, the clock is starting when the call taker picks up. Any delay from there is bureaucracy and it gets people injured or killed all the time.
In the meantime, welcome back TRU!

Police Chiefs in large cities are always bureaucrats, it goes with the job can't be any other way. If they didn't think like a bureaucrat, they would not have the job.
Extrapolating based on constant declarations that "Chicago is the next Detroit", I have three questions:
1. Will Detroit's TRU-Tards be as adept at sandbagging people as OUR Hair Gels were?
2. Will Detroit's TRU-Tards get unit-exclusive tattoos signifying their "eliteness" like some of OUR douchebags did?
3. Will Detroit's TRU-Tards cry foul like OUR entitled crybabies did when their illustrious unit gets disbanded and they all get shipped to precincts far from home?
True is back? What kind of activity do I need to apply? Can I bring my partner? When can I apply?

"Precincts???" We don't work out of "precincts" asshat. You just showed us all that you are not CPD so your opinion doesn't mean squat. And if you're going to be a troll on a CPD blog, get your facts straight. It was MSF that had the matching tattoos not TRU.
Now get off our blog. We have enough disgruntled real CPD officers, we don't need you.

TRU. 1 car goes in with 2 bags of weed and 1 head....the other 7 cars and 14 officers go in to "assist"
Heh...
Politicians and media bobble-heads are nothing if not predictable...
Within two years, there will be a loud crash and a ground tremor that will originate from the E/NE...
That will be the sound of the entire Detroit P.D. sitting on it's hands for the sake of survival & self preservation after the politicians and the media start demanding that they "do their duty" and fling themselves into the hot fires of bad and unsound policing policy and practices to deflect attention from the lunacy that walks hand in hand with the lying and statistical manipulation of Comp-Stat.
Same as in Chicago... As long as it's "only" Coppers who will be left exposed to personal, career and financial harm in the relentless pursuit of bad policy, nobody will give a shit.
Would someone please post a photo or design for those TRU tats? Are those the ones with the massive checkerboard on the arm? OMG I get excited just thinking about it.
Welcome to socialist policing. No substance, lots of fake statistics and ridiculous lies to serve as propaganda.
This is why true Americans hate socialists. They know that the government is inept and will never do for you what you can do better for yourself.
Got a cr some years ago, took an hour to respond to a call. Sheet showed dispatch held it 57 minutes. Wrote to/from. Told to rewrite it with no reference to dispatch delay. The supervisors were afraid to expand their investigation.
"I Fart in Your General Direction", you are aware you have more than jumped the shark, right?
Detroit is a dump. Last I heard, the response time for a priority 1 call e.g. "man w/gun" was something like 45 min, because manpower is so low due to lack of funds. There's even a 10 min you tube video out there of an assault ip where one neighbor pulls out a rifle on another during an altercation; a resident caught the whole thing on cam to warn possible tourists of the area. Their former mayors and city council, like Chicago's, ran that town into the ground throwing city revenue in the direction of all the connected contractors and themselves.
Didn't outgoing NYC mayor Bloomerberg claim he saved +9000 lives with his policies?
Send McGmac to the Motown he's worth his weight in bs too.
But the police have no control over how long it takes for a call-taker to answer, to create an event, to dispatch that event. Sorry, but the chief is right - count from the time the police get the job.
TRU was out there hitting the streets hard. They were effective and the numbers showed it. Dont hate because you didnt have the activity to get to the unit or that nobody liked you enough! :(
Copy right infringement , and they have the tattoos to prove it.
Put the two gang teams back in each district and let the commanders have to crime fighters back
Fart boy asked all the right questions.
After hearing that a new Tru unit was being started the owners of Bourbon Street are rushing to open there so that the unit will have somewhere to take two hour lunches.
"2. Will Detroit's TRU-Tards get unit-exclusive tattoos signifying their "eliteness" like some of OUR douchebags did?"
PLEASE tell me this did not happen. Please!

And yet you took the time to respond to his/ her post. Who's the stupid one?
And for the record, I Fart in your Gen Direction has some of the best posts. Smart and funny.

There's a reason you were "chosen" to work TRU, Mr. Former 253. You're dumb.
Too dumb to know how to read simple English. You see, even a 4th grader would know that the original poster was referring to the locations which the DETROIT POLICE report to and out of. They werent referring to CPD.
Which means you're probably easily convinced to jump thru hoops like a trained circus animal. Bringing in bullshit numbers to make your supervisors look good while you put your neck out and strayed into grey areas all to say you were part of what they convinced your stupid asses was some elite unit.
There's no doubt the original poster is on the job. That much is easily figured out by reading their posts. But again, you'd have to possess reading comprehension skills. Which you obviously don't. But I bet you were good at two bag weed arrests with 8 other elite TRU cops assisting. Probably aces at sitting at Portillos and Bourbon St for hours on end also.
And for the record, some idiots from BOTH MSF & TRU got tattoos to show 'how cool and elite' they were. I just threw up in my mouth a little typing that.
There was a time when a cop was called "a potted plant". It was a disgraceful analogy.
Today it's a wise career move.
@former 253...
Nobody said anything about us having precincts.
Either you completely misread what was said, or you're having a bad day.
Please don't embarrass yourself further.

Your balls must be hanging down in your eyes you 253 dick-head!
Move them out of the way and re-read the post.

Not Chicago!

Funny you are still bitter not being picked for a team. Get over it already. Apply to SAT, oh, you probably weren't picked for that either. Someday...
