Precinct Musical Chairs: A History of Detroit's Shifting Stations

Detroit's police department has a long and fascinating history, but its number of stations has been more of a jazz riff than a steady beat. In the good ol' days (cue dramatic music), there were 13 precincts, neatly carved up like slices of a deep-dish pizza. But then, along came the fiscally responsible 2000s, and those 13 stations transformed into a lean, mean, six-station fighting machine.

However, Detroiters (rightfully) felt a little disconnected from their local law enforcement under the new system. So, guess what? The department did a precinct polka and went back to 13 stations in 2011.

So, how many stations are there now? Drumroll please... 13! But hey, that number could do a Justin Timberlake wardrobe change in the future, so stay tuned.
