Detroit— Detroit Public Schools today opened a $5.6 million police headquarters and command center, a 23,000-square-foot high-tech facility built from the ground up in six months on a six-acre site near I-75 and Clay Avenue that will serve as an anchor for redevelopment in the city's North End neighborhood while providing an improved 24-hour security system to enhance public safety on campuses for all students and staff district-wide.

The new police headquarters will serve as the base of security operations for the district and includes a four-station Command Center post where officers will be able to monitor campuses 24 hours a day using live-feed monitoring surveillance systems from digital cameras and alarms installed on school grounds.
