Feds grant $1 million to new Detroit Crime Commission
DETROIT (AP) — The new Detroit Crime Commission is getting a $1 million federal grant to help fight crime on the city's east side.
The money will be used to develop a “data-driven approach” to identify issues fueling crime. Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy says she’s putting an assistant prosecutor in place to concentrate on Detroit’s east side.
The commission is a nonprofit group formed last year to act as a liaison between the public and law enforcement agencies. It is staffed by retired law enforcers and led by Andrew Arena, the former head of the Detroit FBI.
