“It feels good,” Craig said. “Maybe my arm will be a little sore.”
Craig’s department was ravaged by COVID-19 in 2020. At one point, nearly 700 officers were quarantined.
The department is still mourning the COVID related deaths of Cpt. Jonathan Parnell, dispatcher Shawn Pride, chaplain Valerie Parks and reserve officer Gus Hughes.
With 2,800 people working for the Detroit Police Department, will they get the vaccine?
“I hope in doing this, it will serve to encourage men and women on the frontlines to get the vaccine,” Craig said.
