DETROIT (WWJ) – Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan on Tuesday rolled out a new plan to address violent crime in the city. The new “ShotStoppers” program will provide 2-4 local activist groups with $700,000 per year for two years to fund programs designed to prevent violence in Detroit’s most crime-riddled areas.
Duggan asked during his State of the City address, “what if we took groups that are from that neighborhood… That know the history, that know the families, that know the disputes, know the trauma that folks have lived there?”
On a new Daily J podcast, WWJ’s Brian Fisher looks into what type of impact the new approach to crime prevention could have on the city’s most troubled areas and whether the proposed funding will be enough.
