The Detroit Police needs the public’s assistance in apprehending a suspect wanted for the sexual

Anyone with information is asked to contact Detroit Police Sex Crimes at 596-1950, or Crime
Stoppers (anonymously) at 1-800-SPEAK-UP. Citizens can also anonymously text tips directly to Detroit
Police at 847411. Text tips must start with the letters DPD, followed by the tip information.
Law enforcement partners step up efforts
to reduce violent crime
“Still not good enough.”
That is the sentiment of local law enforcement leaders as the city of Detroit crosses into the second
half of 2010 with a 25 percent reduction in homicides and a 20 percent reduction in non-fatal shoot-
ings compared to the same point last year. So they are upping the ante.
The Detroit Police Department, along with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives, the
US Attorney’s Office and numerous other state, federal and local law enforcement agencies have
joined forces for a sustained citywide violence reduction initiative.
Phase One of the Comprehensive Violence Reduction Partnership (CVRP) has been operational for
the past two weeks and will continue until mid-September. While the majority of the activity is taking
place in the city’s highest crime area – the 6th and 8th Precincts bounded by Telegraph, 8 Mile,
Schaefer and Ford Road – joint efforts also are under way in the Southeastern and Eastern Districts.
Police Chief Warren Evans said reducing crime – particularly gun violence - in this target area will be
the CVRP’s primary focus for the next three months because data show that nearly all of the zone’s 28
scout car areas have been more significantly impacted by gun crimes, robberies and burglaries.
The project has at its core Chief Evans’ Project CRUSADERS philosophies of inter-agency
cooperation to effectively add manpower and data-driven enforcement. While the past CRUSADERS
initiatives consisted of several weeks of intelligence gathering followed by up to one week of multi-
faceted street enforcement, this phase of the CVRP project will be sustained over a period of three
months with continuous crime analysis and dynamic redeployment of resources.
“This is CRUSADERS on steroids. It is built for speed, agility and endurance,” said Chief Evans. “We
continue to refine our efforts so they are more strategic and more effective in reducing crime –
particularly violent crimes.”
The CVRP is also built for strength, said ATF Special Agent in Charge Thomas Brandon since it
includes a much stronger threat of federal prosecution.
Among those arrested are several dangerous career criminals, including David Dennis, who already
did time for 2nd Degree murder and was arrested this week with four handguns and an assault rifle,
not to mention some of the drugs he was dealing.
CVRP officers also arrested Kevin Wiley, who is on parole for manslaughter, who also was dealing
drugs as a member of the Brightmoor Gangstas. They also arrested Marlon Allen and Corey Nelson,
both of whom had served time for violent crimes, both of whom were dealing drugs in this area and
both of whom had multiple weapons in their possession.
All of these suspect are being referred for possible federal prosecution, SAC Brandon said.
“To correct a problem, you have to focus on it, said SAC Brandon. “For the next three months we will
concentrate our resources where they are most needed, Northwest Detroit. Through the CVRP, ATF
will work shoulder to shoulder with DPD and our law enforcement partners to prevent and reduce gun
violence. The public should know that we are committed, we have the resources, and we have the
resolve.”
CVRP search warrants and street enforcement already have resulted in the seizure of numerous high
powered weapons, including a Tec 9 handgun and several assault rifles, as well as the arrest of
several known gang members.
The CVRP initiative grew out of a conversation two months ago between Police Chief Warren Evans
and ATF Special Agent in Charge Thomas Brandon. From that meeting, the two agreed to a long-term
effort that would include a large commitment from the ATF to focus on confiscating illegal guns and
arresting those who possess them.
