Get to know Detroit police Chief James White: Conversation about family, history and more

Police Chief James White dreamt of becoming a trash collector in his neighborhood when he was growing up -- because that’s what his grandfather did.

What a great Police Chief. Personable, wiling to grow and learn, but also effective. I can't imagine the toll of being in that position in Detroit of all places. I'm from another County, but I've always liked Chief White.

Boy, reminds me that my only uncle passed in his early forties, and that changed things a bit for us as well, because he was the kind of person that would pave the way for those after him.

Beautiful house Beautiful Man Of Integrity. I never had the opportunity to meet Chief White or him before he was promoted. I had the opportunity to serve the Detroit Police Department as a Operator from Detroit Department Of Transportation as an honor guard funeral coach operator moving officers in motorcades for fallen heroes having met former Chief Craig and Captain Petty but never met White to my acknowledgement.

❤ even though his mother was a single parent that's just fine you can tell he was raised right he had his grandparents in his life as well as his uncles he also seems like a God-fearing man thank you chief White

Chief is an awesome guy. So calm and cool. Speaks really well. You can tell he had a good upbringing which has served him well to this day... very compassionate and understanding... wish him well in all his endeavors... don't forget to eat as well as you can to keep your diabetes in check... they're simple herbs in the kitchen and spices as well that can help.... sorry you lost your mum so early, and your uncle as well, but by God's grace you made it...
Wish you continued blessings....
Lol. My daughter used to watch the garbage truck men from the window when she was quite young and wanted to be one as welll. 🤣🤣🤣 . It became so funny to her since she's all grown up.

[ingridleacock]

Very interesting interview, but quite emotional also...
It hurts when he says it changed so many people's lives, and I understand what he's saying.... but thank God you've held your own through thick and thin. And I hope your other family members are okay... I'm not a psychologist, by no means, but I believe I can still see a certain degree of hurt and pain in your eyes as you speak, but rest assured that God and the good parenting your mum and grandparents and uncle gave you have served you well, and you've been able to walk the straight and narrow way. God bless you.

[ingridleacock]

I didn't know you lost your uncle to violence, but I see the hurt and pain when you're speaking about the senseless crimes, how emotional you become, I'm so sorry, glad you've healed a bit...

Wish more people believed in an old fashion spanking. You learn more respect because you learn consequences.

Did they catch the person who murdered your uncle?
