Benny Napoleon was real police, he knew what was going on in the streets, Duggan said.
Napoleon is popularly remembered for his work with the department s gang squad, a sector of DPD that has grown over the years thanks to Napoleon s influence, Duggan said. The building, located on Oakman Boulevard near Focus Hope, was purchased for $1 million from Focus:Hope and it houses DPD’s Organized Crime and Gang Intelligence Units. He enjoyed every minute of those 26 years that he dedicated to the Detroit Police Department, he enjoy giving back he enjoyed being a public servant, Napoleon s daughter, Tiffani Jackson, said at the conference Wednesday. He enjoyed doing everything that he could to keep the citizens of the city of Detroit safe. And he was really big on training and education. I just think that this building really ties everything together, when it comes to his public safety career and his law enforcement career.
Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan might have to mount another write-in campaign to win reelection if challenger Anthony Adams has his way.
Adams on Monday attempted to get Duggan s name thrown off the August primary ballot. If successful, it would be the second time in the last three election cycles Duggan was unable to keep his name on the ballot.
Adams, a former deputy mayor under ex-Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick who is now running for mayor himself, challenged the certification of Duggan s name on the ballot, claiming the mayor lied on the reelection paperwork he filed last week. Despite attesting that his campaign finance reports are current, Duggan failed to file a complete campaign finance statement in July 2018, according to the challenge Adams attorney filed with the Detroit city clerk.
