Not impressed with Detroit 187 and While they got the scenery right so far the writers certainly haven't done thier homework.
Cop remarks "if we fight em here we don't have to fight them in Ferndale"
Detroit police officers must live in the city. There are no if's and's or but's They have a gated nieghborhood just for the police to live in. ....and Ferndale is not the safest place to live. Contrary to popular belief 8 mile rd is not the great divide.


Conversly.....
Felony parole is handled by the State, not city. Once again it's something I kind of know about as my father worked as a deptartment of corrections parole officer for the state and 10 years of that service was in the city of Detroit. If you work for the state you don't have to live in the city you are assigned to. The reason I bring this up is if you watch the episode the p.o. was killed in his home in Detroit. PO's generally don't live in the city they work.
