DETROIT (WXYZ) — Both the Detroit Police Department and Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan say City Council has made the appointment of Interim Police Chief James White to full-time Detroit Police Chief official.
The DPD announced the news in a Facebook post:
Duggan said the vote was a unanimous 7-0 on Twitter:

White was appointed interim chief by Duggan following the retirement of James Craig. He then said he was submitting White's name to be the replacement chief a few weeks later.
