CRIO remains open during the COVID-19 Crisis to serve the public. We are working remotely to promote equity, inclusion, and business in Detroit. Here's how:
The Civil Rights Team takes our mission to investigate charges of discrimination, harassment and workplace violence for City of Detroit employees and citizens very seriously. We continue to investigate complaints remotely and safely in person. We are also providing virtual, safe in person and self -paced training on workplace violence, discrimination and sexual harassment for City Departments.

DBOP continues to provide certifications and arrange virtual outreach events. As part of the application process, we will now conduct our site visits virtually due to COVID-19. This means a member of our team will schedule a time to virtually visit your work space. We will do this via Zoom. DBOP is also working hard to minimize the effect of COVID-19 on Detroit businesses in collaboration with Detroit Means Business.
The Incentives Team continues to investigate and report on development projects qualifying for EO 2016-1. They are also investigating Neighborhood Advisory Council CBO complaints, fielding customer service inquiries, and hosting virtual meetings with developers and contractors.
The Construction Outreach Team is providing stability to community partners, sharing information related to COVID-19 developments, and conducting business virtually. With Detroit at Work, they are identifying digital barriers facing Detroiters seeking training in order to coordinate quick and effective solutions.
The mission of the office is to increase independence, opportunities, community participation, safety, and wellness for persons with disabilities in the City of Detroit, and to ensure inclusion, representation, and equity for persons with disabilities as it relates to City employment, programs, and services.
