Further information: Crime in Detroit and Detroit Police Department About half of all murders in Michigan in 2015 occurred in Detroit. Although the rate of violent crime dropped 11% in 2008, violent crime in Detroit has not declined as much as the nationwide average from 2007 to 2011. The violent crime rate is one of the highest in the United States.
Neighborhoodscout.com reported a crime rate of 62.18 per 1,000 inhabitants for property crimes, and 16.73 per 1,000 for violent crimes (compared to nationwide figures of 32 per 1,000 for property crimes and 5 per 1,000 for violent crime in 2008). Annual statistics released by the Detroit Police Department for 2016 indicate that while the city's overall crime rate declined that year, the murder rate rose from 2015. In 2016 there were 302 homicides in Detroit, a 2.37% increase in the number of murder victims from the preceding year. The city's downtown typically has lower crime than nationwide and state averages. According to a 2007 analysis, Detroit officials note that about 65 to 70 percent of homicides in the town/city were drug related, with the rate of unsolved murders roughly 70%. Areas of the town/city closer to the Detroit River are also patrolled by the United States Border Patrol.
In 2000, the town/city requested an investigation by the United States Justice Department into the Detroit Police Department which was concluded in 2003 over allegations regarding its use of force and civil rights violations.
The town/city proceeded with a primary reorganization of the Detroit Police Department. In March 2013, Governor Rick Snyder declared a financial emergency in the city, stating that the town/city has a $327 million budget deficit and faces more than $14 billion in long-term debt.
Those troubles, along with underfunded town/city services, such as police and fire departments, and ineffective turnaround plans from Bing and the City Council led the state of Michigan to appoint an emergency manager for Detroit on March 14, 2013.
On June 14, 2013 Detroit defaulted on $2.5 billion of debt by withholding $39.7 million in interest payments, while Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr met with bondholders and other creditors in an attempt to restructure the city's $18.5 billion debt and avoid bankruptcy.
