Good afternoon,

The record provided included dates of birth (which I would have to redact) rather than ages. I am waiting for a revised record. I can provide a response early next week with the record provided, if you no longer wish to receive the age data. Please let me know.

Thank you,

Hi Monique,

This is fantastic; thank you so much!

Would it be possible to get a labor cost estimate for providing the same spreadsheet with the names of full uniform officers, as described in the letter? With ~2400 officers, Detroit probably doesn't have more than a few dozen undercover and it would be helpful to have names for the rest.

Thank you!

Jonathan

Good afternoon,

The Police Department Personnel Division indicated that they are not able to determine which officers are plain cloths/undercover. I was informed that some of the officers work undercover/plain clothes for certain assignments and that holds true for those at precincts as well.
