DETROIT – Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan on Monday announced former assistant police chief James White has been named the city’s interim police chief.
White, who left the Detroit Police Department last year to become director of the Michigan Department of Civil Rights, will fill the role left by Chief James Craig, who announced his retirement effective this June. White’s tenure as interim chief starts June 1.
With an interim police chief selected, the board of police commissioners will then “conduct a search to identify a list of candidates from which the Mayor will select a permanent replacement, who also must be confirmed by Detroit city council,” a press release reads Monday.

ISLAMABAD:
Supreme Court judge Faisal Arab retired on November 4, 2020 after completing his term while Justice Manzoor Malik also retired on April 30, 2021. However, despite an ever-growing caseload, two vacant positions in the Supreme Court have not yet been filled. Another apex court judge, Justice Mushir Alam, will also retire this year on August 17.
The Supreme Court comprises 17 judges including the chief justice of Pakistan and many experts believe that this strength is insufficient to deal with the cases. At present the number of pending cases in the apex court is 49,000. Talking to The Express Tribune, Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) Secretary Ahmed Farooq Rana claimed that the reason for this delay in filling the vacant SC posts is internal differences.

During his days in public service as a teacher, Eldard Muhangisa, now 65 years old, preferred working in rural areas. This, he attributes to having been raised in a humble family. He would either walk or ride a bicycle.
His colleagues called him insane because they felt he needed to change environment; go to the urban areas and enjoy a styled-up life. They fantasised a luxurious life.
“They looked at my standard of living as so low and undeserving, but I persevered. My humble lifestyle gave me an opportunity to be near home, save and invest in fixed assets in preparation for retirement,” says Muhangisa.
First Assistant Chief Lashinda T. Stair will be retiring from the Detroit Police Department after 25 years of dedicated and distinguished service to the department and the community.
