Detroit ended 2025 with one of its lowest homicide totals in decades. The number is striking โ€” and incomplete. In this conversation, our executive director, Nancy A. Parker, joins Robyn Vincent to talk about the long, sometimes invisible work that shapes public safety: housing stability, community trust, movement lawyering, and the slow effort to repair systems from the inside. Listen to The Metro weekdays from 10 a.m. to noon ET on 101.9 FM and streaming on demand. ๐Ÿ”— Link to this episode in bio! by @nancy.a.parker
