DETROIT (WWJ) – The men and women of the Detroit Police Department believe the city is too dangerous to enter, and they want citizens to know it.

Detroit Police Officer Association (DPOA) Attorney Donato Iorio said officers are holding the “Enter At Your Own Risk” rally at 3:30 p.m. Saturday in front of Comerica Park to remind the public that the officers are overworked, understaffed, and at times, fearful for their lives.

“Detroit is America’s most violent city, its homicide rate is the highest in the country and yet the Detroit Police Department is grossly understaffed,” Iorio told WWJ’s Kathryn Larson. “The DPOA believes that there is a war in Detroit, but there should be a war on crime, not a war on its officers.”

Nothing new, Detroit has always been the most violent city. Do not stray off
the main path, its as bad as some third world countries. Ever noticed the
politicians don't make speeches in that area, they would rather attend each
others rallies than go down there as it were.
I remember in the sixties and seventies the same stories were being written.
In some areas the police refused to go into some areas after dark. They were
under staffed and ill equipped to deal with the violence. The only thing different
is the police are talking about it.
