Detroit Police Chief Warren Evans allowed Amber Hunt of the The Detroit Free Press to ride along with him through the streets of Detroit patrolling streets of a city that has yielded 850 shootings this year. Evans has only been on the job for six weeks, and has been asked to be called every time there's a shooting. Needless to say, he's been called every night in a city that averages 4 people being shot a day.
Evans is overseeing a department that needs a complete overhaul from a cultural standpoint, and the don't snitch philosophy on the streets makes it difficult to solve cases. He's trying to be as proactive as possible, and knows that he has a tough job ahead of him. Interesting article on what every big city in America faces in terms of dealing with crime.
