Attention, citizens: RoboCop is officially on patrol.

After nearly 15 years of planning, casting, fits, starts, snags and delays, Detroit's RoboCop statue is upright at Eastern Market.

The 3,500-pound bronze sculpture by George Gikas and his Venus Bronze Works was erected Wednesday, Dec. 3, along Russell Street south of Mack Avenue, a smooth four-hour effort at the end of a bumpy road Brandon Walley couldn't have imagined before he traveled it.

RoboCop was a police-officer-turned-cyborg who saved Detroit from hoodlums and a venal corporation in a 1987 movie that spawned several sequels.
