#LowerDetritCrime

According to Forbes, Detroit is the number one most dangerous city in the country for the fourth year in a row. Even with rates having lowered 10%, crime rates are still five times the national average. Some citizens don't even feel safe in their own city, but what can the police do about that? It turns out, it is not only the job of the police, but of the citizens themselves and the economy to help make not only Detroit, but a lot of other cities a safe place to live as well. Until the police can figure out budgeting and better safety precautions, the least citizens can do it self-police and not stay quiet about what they feel may be threatening them.

Crime in Detroit is on the rise and nothing seems to be happening to fix that as of late. Currently, response time to a police call in Detroit is 58 minutes on average compared to the national average of 11 minutes. How are citizens supposed to feel safe with rates like these? Who should be responsible for changing it? Granted the crime rates fluctuate yearly, it is never enough to get them low enough to get the city off of the list for most dangerous city in the world. How do the Detroit Police plan to help change this and when?
