US EditionDetroit Sergeant, Officer Suspended without Pay After Calling Border Patrol During Traffic Stops
Detroit police suspended two officers without pay for violating policy by contacting Border Patrol during traffic stops, leading to federal detainments, officials said.
- On Thursday, last week, the Detroit Board of Police Commissioners voted unanimously to suspend two officers without pay for 30 days, and Bettison said he will concur and not pursue termination.
- After a review, officials concluded the officers had contacted Border Patrol during traffic stops on Dec. 16, 2025, and Feb. 9, 2026, leading to federal detentions.
- Wallet's attorney Radner said she followed orders after a fingerprint scanner failure, and Corsi contacted Border Patrol during a felony-warrant stop, according to department officials.
- Bettison emphasized department policy and community safety, saying policies provide structure and limits to protect officers and citizens, and he will review use of DPD contracted translation services while the Board's suspension preserves medical benefits.
- The mayor's office supports the DPD policy that officers should not engage ICE or CBP, as flagged during a routine audit amid national tensions over federal immigration activity.
