DETROIT – Detroit police Chief James Craig announced his retirement during a news conference Monday after heading the department for eight years.
He called the retirement “bittersweet.” June marks 44 years in law enforcement, Craig said the best part of his career has been in the City of Detroit. He will be retiring on June 1. He said his decision to retire is voluntary.
WATCH:
“I’m leaving in a good place. I love this city and I love this state,” Craig said.
The city has yet to identify an interim police chief, but Duggan said he is working with the Board of Police Commissioners to fill the position until they find a permanent successor for Craig. The board is then responsible to find and interview candidates who will be turned over to the mayor for a final decision, which is subject for approval by the city council.
Craig said the interim chief will be most likely be an internal choice and if Duggan chooses an interim chief before his June 1 departure, then the two will collaborate to smooth the transition.
While Craig highlighted Project Greenlight and the Real Time Crime Center as career accomplishments, he leaves the department while crime is high. Craig pointed to a backlog in courts and obstacles beyond his control in the prosecution process as part of the problem.
