It
wasn't until recent years that the city began
to realize that 1300 Beaubien where the Detroit
Police had been headquartered for over 148 years
was beginning to show signs of aging and serious
structural problems as well as an infestation
of rodents and insects throughout the building.

Beginning
with Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's administration the
city began kicking around the idea of consolidating
the city's police and fire departments into one
complex, however plans were temporarily halted
following the sudden but not unexpected resignation
of Kilpatrick following his arrest on charges
of federal corruption.
