DETROIT -- The city of Detroit has planned four public safety meetings to provide residents with more detail in plans for the police department, which include more layoffs.

Chief Ella Bully-Cummings announced a restructuring plan several weeks ago designed to save the city millions of dollars, which included about 150 layoffs, the consolidation of precincts and downsizing command staff, Local 4 reported. On Friday, a Wayne County judge ruled in favor of the command officers union and issued an injunction to stop the reduction of inspectors and commanders, the station reported.

Bully-Cummings said the ruling will force her to lay off about 100 additional police officers.

"It's definitely leaving the public confused," said resident Chris Marks about the public safety changes. "I'm definitely concerned for the safety of my family."

Resident Willie Marks asked, "What else is there to do? Who can you talk to?"

Town hall meetings will be held to help clarify for residents the new plans involving the police and fire departments. The meetings are scheduled this week from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the following locations:

Monday: Roberto Clemente Recreation Center, 2631 Bagley St.
Tuesday: Farwell Recreation Center, 2711 E. Outer Dr.
Wednesday: Butzel Family Center, 7737 Kercheval St.
Thursday: Northwest Activities Center, 18100 Meyers St.

Residents and city officials hope the meetings will provide a better understanding of what lies ahead for police and fire service in the city of Detroit.
