Detroit Police Commissioners Meeting - June 11, 2026

The Detroit Board of Police Commissioners held a meeting on June 11, 2026, which included the election of new board officers and extensive discussions on police oversight and community relations. A significant portion of the meeting focused on the challenges related to the Office of the Chief Investigator's (OCI) access to police body-worn camera footage, with commissioners expressing concerns about recent restrictions imposed due to compliance with federal Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) rules. The board debated motions to direct legal action against the Detroit Police Department, Michigan State Police, and FBI to restore OCI's access, though some motions to postpone were also discussed. The meeting also addressed community complaints, officer conduct, and the need for improved training and transparency. Additionally, the board adopted a resolution urging the mayor and labor relations division to ensure future collective bargaining agreements do not conflict with the charter-mandated authority of the BOPC, emphasizing the preservation of civilian oversight and public trust. Several community members spoke on various issues, including police accountability, youth programs, and personal safety concerns. The meeting concluded with the adoption of several policy directives related to police procedures and protections.
