The Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan announced Tuesday it granted $200,000 to police departments and other organizations in five Metro Detroit communities to develop programs aimed at police reform.
Under the foundation s Community Policing Innovations Initiative, the funds will be used to provide support for local public safety departments to work with their communities to address issues in police practices, systems and services, a foundation press release said.
Selected to share the funds were the Canton Township Police Department and its Canton Coalition for Inclusive Communities; the Detroit Police Department; East Downtown Dearborn Development Authority and Black Legacy Advancement Coalition; Inkster Police Department; and Beloved Community Initiative and First AME Church of Farmington Hills.
Focusing on community was a hallmark of the work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. In honor of that legacy, several organizations in Iowa City have put community at the heart of planning a weekslong celebration. The annual Martin Luther King Jr. Human Rights Celebration is an opportunity to highlight why Dr. King s legacy is as important today as it was when he was alive.
