Detroit Police Commissioners Meeting - October 29, 2026

The Detroit Board of Police Commissioners meeting was held October 29, 2026. The board approved the agenda and prior meeting minutes, adopted resolutions honoring two retiring department members, and approved a personnel motion related to an investigator position, naming Monica Weathers as an alternate candidate. The department reported year-over-year reductions in several crime categories and provided updates on incidents, recruitment, and precinct activities. No contract award, bid approval, or purchasing decision was identified.

A public commenter asked about the status of a ShotSpotter study, noting that the related contract was expected to return for City Council reevaluation in March; the department said it would obtain and provide a status update. The board received weekly ShotSpotter and facial-recognition reports, but took no action on the contract or study. Discussion also addressed public-comment procedures and the planned posting of a written comment on the meeting’s webpage.
