Nerd Swag Visuals | Detroit Police: Domestic Violence Unit (Major Crimes) and Faith & Blue Weekend (DPD Chaplain Corps)

Last weekend, Team Nerd Swag had the opportunity to capture the Detroit Metropolitan Police Department in the community.

💜 DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS

Presented by DPD’s Domestic Violence Unit, this was more than an event. It was a space for education, empowerment, fellowship, and healing.

From the Domestic Violence Awareness Walk to vendors providing massage therapy, yoga, mental health services, and other resources, attendees experienced community support in action. DPD’s Sex Crimes Unit, Victim Assistance Program, Firearms Training Unit, and others were also present. And yes, there was food!

Special thanks to Detective Adams, one of the primary organizers, for the invitation.

💙 NATIONAL FAITH & BLUE WEEKEND

From the kickoff at DPD Headquarters to a community prayer walk with the Chaplain Corps, faith leaders, school staff, and children, we witnessed faith and community intersect.

Perhaps the most powerful moment was watching children approach afterward and personally ask for prayer.

That’s not just community engagement. That’s trust being built.

Special thanks to DC Starks, Chief Chaplain, Lieutenant D. Anderson, and NPO Franklin.

The Detroit Police Department is a law enforcement agency, but the badge represents more than the authority to enforce the law. It represents a responsibility to serve humanity.

It’s the detective who understands a survivor needs more than a police report.

It’s the chaplain who offers prayer when someone needs hope.

It’s the officer who takes time to listen.

It’s the child who begins to see an officer as someone they can approach and trust.

Sometimes, the most powerful thing an officer can do has nothing to do with making an arrest. Sometimes, it’s simply showing up, listening, and reminding someone they are not alone.

Because long after the events end, the impact of a meaningful connection can remain.
