Wayne State University to match tuition reimbursement for Detroit police officers {0}
Wayne State University to match tuition reimbursement for Detroit police officers
July 21, 2016
Recognizing public safety is essential to the continued revitalization of Detroit, a new Wayne State University pilot program will offer City of Detroit police officers tuition reimbursement to attend the school.
Through recently ratified union contracts, the City of Detroit is providing its officers a professional development package that includes a salary increase, an increase in starting pay and up to $2,000 per year in tuition reimbursement. The deal is aimed at helping with the recruitment and retention of talent. Wayne State will match the city’s tuition reimbursement with an additional $2,000 per year for officers enrolling for 12 credits or more and a prorated scholarship amount of up to $1,000 for less than 12 credit hours, depending on their credit load.
“Wayne State has a long, close partnership with the Detroit Police Department, and we know that retention of our talented DPD officers is key to our city’s continued progress,” said Wayne State President M. Roy Wilson. “We are proud to step up and support our hardworking DPD officers in furthering their education.”
Under the pilot program, which will launch in fall 2016, Wayne State will provide the match for up to 30 officers per year. Eligible DPD officers must begin in a fall semester. The Detroit Police Department will pay $2,000 for an officer’s first semester and WSU will pay $2,000 for the subsequent spring semester. The WSU offer is good for four consecutive years. The student must maintain a 2.5 GPA and remain in good academic standing. Program members must be seeking a bachelor’s degree and declare a major of study.
“This generous offer by Wayne State will help us to build on the professionalism that already exists within the Detroit Police Department,” said Mayor Mike Duggan. “A partnership like this shows the level of support our officers have in this community.”
Admission to Wayne State University will be based on the member’s educational background: high school GPA (may be required), ACT or SAT score (may be required), and community college credit hours and GPA earned (may be considered). DPD will assist with the selection process to admit qualified members, which will include an essay submission regarding improvements to Detroit, such as revitalization and stabilization.
“I am a firm believer in elevating one’s mind as a means of improving the world around them,” said Detroit Police Chief James Craig. “This very gracious tuition match program from Wayne State University serves to further this administration’s commitment to provide the City of Detroit with the best possible officers we can recruit.”
The Detroit Police Officers Association, the Detroit Police Lieutenants and Sergeants Association, and the Detroit Police Command Officers Association represent the 2,224 officers eligible for the WSU program.
Wayne State has long been committed to higher education for law enforcement officers. All of the Wayne State University Police Department’s 60 officers are commissioned as Detroit police officers and hold a bachelor’s degree or higher.

TELETYPE #16-0529 REVISIONS TO THE DEPARTMENT’S STANDARDS REGARDING UNIFORM AND APPEARANCE {0}
TELETYPE #16-0529 REVISIONS TO THE DEPARTMENT’S STANDARDS REGARDING UNIFORM AND APPEARANCE
In my years of police service, I have learned that an organization’s policies must be both modern and practical. This single observation has driven a number of recent changes in this Department, all of which have been aimed at breaking from the “status quo,” unlocking the immense potential of this Department, and continuing to rejuvenate morale. This observation instructs my thought process to this day.
Recently, the desire of the membership to wear their uniform in a manner consistent with modern trends―specifically, to wear earrings and maintain facial hair―has become apparent. After taking into account the direction of other reputable departments, as well as my own impression of this community’s expectations, I now agree that change is both warranted and much deserved. For this reason, effective July 1, 2016―
Confirmed female officers shall be permitted to wear earrings while on-duty AND in uniform, subject to the following conditions:
- No more than one pair of earrings may be worn at one time.
- The earrings must be non-dangling, modest-sized, post earrings.
- The earring must be black, gold, or silver.
- The display and appearance of the earrings must be uniform. For example, mixing designs or colors, or wearing an earring on only one earlobe is prohibited.
- The earrings may only be worn on the earlobe.
- The earrings must not extend below the earlobe.
Furthermore, confirmed male officers shall be permitted to maintain any of the following styles of beard provided the facial hair is neatly trimmed and no more than a ¼ inch in length:
- A goatee of the type where the facial hair of the mustache continues down and around the side of the mouth where it joins the shaven beard that extends only as wide as the outer edge of the mouth (also referred to as a circle beard).
Under no circumstances will facial hair be sculpted or otherwise trimmed to show design. Any of the above styles may be lined only to the extent necessary to present a neat, symmetrical appearance.
But these revisions to our policies on uniform and appearance will be accompanied by an increased expectation that members will wear their respective prescribed uniforms in the appropriate manner. Several recent situations have given rise to concern. For example, uniformed officers have been observed―
- Wearing do-rags
- Canting their uniform hats
- Wearing their approved ball caps backwards
- Mixing approved 30-series apparel with their Class A or Class B apparel.
Members are reminded of the importance of the properly worn uniform. Police agencies prescribe uniforms to help ensure that members are readily recognizable to citizens under very extreme conditions, to ensure a command presence in volatile situations, and to exude an appearance of discipline and uniformity among the rank and file. I will expect and require that supervisors identify members violating this Department’s uniform-and-appearance standards and to take the appropriate corrective action. Supervisors will be held strictly accountable for violations that go unnoticed or remain unaddressed.
Changes to the Detroit Police Department Manual are forthcoming.
JAMES E. CRAIG
Chief of Police
