Hello Detroit, this is Morgan Riley coming to you with your Friday news update for May 23, 2025.
Word on the streets of Detroit is that Hamtramck's Police Chief Jille Alahhiri and another officer have been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation. This development came to light yesterday when Local 4 News uncovered a memo detailing serious allegations against the chief. According to sources, the memo claims Alahhiri may have not only violated city policy but potentially broken the law. The suspension was ordered by the city manager, who interestingly was himself ousted as police chief back in 2015. Residents are demanding answers, with one local stating, "We want to know what's going on, why people are getting kicked out, and we need answers." Chief Alahhiri joined the department just last year after working in New York City, and so far, city officials remain tight-lipped about the specific reasons behind the suspension.
