Critical incidents including officer-involved shootings are one of the most emotional and difficult situations facing law enforcement officers and the communities they serve. The Detroit Police Department's commitment to providing 21st-century policing - includes transparency, use of available technology, and following of best practices. Therefore, Chief James E. White is implementing a new policy to present critical incidents to the community. These briefings will include maps, 9-1-1 calls - body-worn and in-car video, so that the community will have a preliminary understanding of what the officers responded to and were faced with, as well as, the outcome of the incident including explanations of the investigation process. These presentations will be released as soon as possible and no later than 45 days following the incident. Viewer discretion is advised.
