May 22--Detroit Police along with the Grandmont Rosedale community on the city's west side plan to announce details of pilot program this afternoon aimed at reducing crime.
Police say the initiative stems from the Broken Window theory, an idea that revolves around the thought that if a window in a building is broken and not repaired, it leads to other windows soon being in the same condition.
Additional details of the program that launches today will be released today at 2 p.m.
Detroit Police Chief Ralph L. Godbee and George Kelling, Ph.D, who wrote a book Fixing Broken Windows: Restoring Order and Reducing Crime in Our Communities will be at the news conference along with other community members.
