DETROIT (WXYZ) — A private police force is in the works at the University of Detroit Mercy.

The plan is to certify about 30 security guards and get them sworn in as officers.

They would have the power to make arrests in designated areas outside the Detroit Mercy campuses.

This is part of a bigger effort to address public safety around the Livernois Avenue and McNichols Road corridor.
