History
Launched January 1, 2016 and backed by Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan, eight city businesses, all of which were gas stations, were recruited with the assurance from the Detroit Police Department that the cameras and flashing green lights to be installed at each location would help identify criminal suspects in any future crimes, as well as decreasing criminal activity altogether. With continued governmental and state support, Project Green Light expanded with the justification that Detroit Police Department data showed a decrease in “criminal activity” at those locations.
