• Homicides ↓ 18% (165 total, down from 203 in 2024)
• Nonfatal shootings ↓ 26% (447 incidents, down more than 50% since 2022)
• Carjackings ↓ 46% (77 incidents, a 90% reduction since 2013)
These results reflect coordinated enforcement, community violence intervention, and prevention efforts citywide.
As part of this work, Mayor Mary Sheffield announced plans to establish a new Office of Gun Violence Prevention within her first 100 days, focused on prevention, coordination, and long-term safety.
Together, we will continue working to keep Detroit safe , now and into the future.
Detroit will become the largest city in the nation to participate in Michigan State University’s Rx Kids program. Mayor Mary Sheffield is delivering for Detroit families, she announced a historic step forward today for Detroit.
This transformational mom and baby cash prescription program has already changed the lives of nearly 5,000 families across Michigan, delivering more than $20 million directly to parents when they need it most. Now, under Mayor Sheffield’s leadership, Detroit families will have access to this powerful support, strengthening financial stability, improving health outcomes, and giving babies the strongest possible start. This program will help to strengthen Detroit’s economy for all families.
With nearly 8,000 babies born in Detroit each year, this expansion signals a bold promise: that Detroit’s children and families come first. Mayor Sheffield is setting a new national standard for how cities show up, lead with compassion, and invest in their people from day one.
Enrollment for Rx Kids Detroit is expected to open within the first 100 days of the Sheffield Administration. A stronger future for Detroit families starts now. Let’s Rise Higher, Detroit.
Today marks a powerful moment in Detroit’s history. 💙
Mayor Mary Sheffield has officially been sworn in as Detroit’s 76th Mayor and first woman, stepping into leadership grounded in people, neighborhoods, and opportunity.
On her very first day in office, Mayor Sheffield made intentional stops to be with those who serve our city every day, visiting Detroit Police and Detroit Fire Department sites to personally thank our first responders for their dedication, sacrifice, and service to Detroiters.
Later, she continued the day in community at the Capuchin Soup Kitchen, serving neighbors in need and honoring the values of compassion, dignity, and service that define Detroit at its best.
A proud supporter of union and labor workers and a strong advocate for our public safety professionals, Mayor Sheffield understands that leadership starts by showing up for workers, for families, and for community.
People-centered. Community-focused. Ready to lead Detroit higher. The work continues together. đź’™
