Detroit Police Commissioners Meeting - November 5, 2026

The Detroit Board of Police Commissioners meeting on November 5, 2026, addressed oversight, department operations, and community concerns. No contracts were awarded and no spending or procurement motions were approved. The board was told that a ShotSpotter study is underway, but a contract with a university has not yet been signed. Commissioners also identified crime scene services needs and the detention center HVAC system as potential subjects for the upcoming budget committee’s review; no funding amounts or allocations were specified. The department said body-worn camera access for the Office of the Chief Investigator would be restored, and the board separately passed a motion directing the department to restore that access immediately. A motion accepting the chief’s recommendation on an officer’s change of duty status also passed.
