IIRC, Livonia cops are the only city cops I've seen sitting on a freeway. I always thought that was county/state jurisdiction. I always see a Livonia cop (or two) in the median of 275. Didn't know that was allowed.
I've seen city cops along I-94 near Metro airport which I think might be Taylor or Allen Park but the cars are unmarked.
I have kids who are cops and my understanding is...
Jurisdictions overlap.
State cops generally are responsible for patrolling the freeways but that doesn't prevent a city or county cop from hanging out if its in their jurisdiction....within city or county limits. My kids are Washtenaw County cops. They can patrol the whole county but they generally stay out of Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, Pittsfield Township, Chelsea, or anywhere that has their own police department. Not that they couldn't patrol there but since resources are thin they don't waste the time with double coverage.

Romulus and Huron Township also park in the median of I-275. Romulus used to patrol Eureka Rd bordering the airport when it was 45mph. They wrote so many tickets a speed study was done. It’s 55 now, which it should have been all along.

The odds are strong that I have passed your kids on the road then. I frequently work in Washtenaw county (especially Salem Twp. Or as I call it "The land that time forgot"). And then going to meetings at St. Luke's right behind the jail. Never had a problem in Washtenaw. Now Warren...that is a different animal. I've been warned for years not to speed through there. Not to mention all the dope and dope fiends coming back and forth across 8 mile. I'd rather just avoid the area altogether. They used to sit in parking lots on the north side of 8 mile, just waiting for folks like me to come along. No more of that shit. I avoid Warren like the drunk chick at a party, and I have FAMILY there. I don't want the trouble.
