Detroit Police Department - 3rd Precinct
📞 Non-Emergency Phone: (313) 596-5300
🌐 Website: Detroit Police Department - 3rd Precinct

Brush Park primarily falls under the jurisdiction of the Detroit Police Department's 3rd Precinct, which handles most law enforcement needs, including both emergency and non-emergency incidents. Additionally, the Downtown Services Division plays a supporting role during arena events and other large gatherings, reflecting Brush Park's unique position near key venues.

For immediate assistance, always call 911. For non-emergency inquiries, you can contact the 3rd Precinct directly at (313) 596-5300.

Brush Park is now served by Neighborhood Police Officer Brad Hawkins of the Detroit Police Department’s Third Precinct. Officer Hawkins is our primary point of contact for neighborhood policing concerns and community coordination.

For emergencies or crimes in progress, always call 911 first. For non-emergency neighborhood concerns or follow-up matters, please text Officer Hawkins first at 313-518-3805. He can also be reached at Hawkinsb246@detroitmi.gov.

For incidents discovered after the fact, such as theft, vandalism, or property damage, residents should still begin by calling 911. You may be directed to the Telephone Crime Reporting Unit (TCRU). If additional evidence becomes available later, such as security camera footage, Officer Hawkins can help route it to the appropriate investigative unit.
