Hamtramck police chief, another officer suspended following new allegations

Hamtramck Police Chief Jamiel Altaheri and another officer have been suspended pending an investigation following anonymous allegations sent to Michigan State Police, accusing the chief of grooming department members to obscure his actions. The suspension is seen by some, including Mayor Amer Ghalib, as potentially retaliatory, linked to the chief's discipline of an officer close to City Manager Max Garbarino, who denies the retaliation claim. An outside firm is expected to investigate, while the mayor has called for an emergency meeting as the city faces demands for transparency amid ongoing controversies.
