Isaiah "Ike" McKinnon (born June 21, 1943) is an American former police officer employed by the Detroit Police Department from 1965 to 1984, and its chief from 1993 to 1998.[1] He was one of the first African American officers in the Detroit police force,[2] was the deputy mayor of Detroit from 2013 to 2016, and was also a professor at University of Detroit Mercy. In 1967, while an officer in the Detroit police, McKinnon was almost killed by racist fellow police officers in an incident that was later covered internationally.[3][4][5]
