James E. Craig (born 1956) is the head of the Detroit Police Department. He has served in this capacity since 2013. At times Craig has gained widespread attention for his defense of the right of city residents to own guns.

Craig was raised in Detroit and graduated from Cass Tech High School. He first joined the Detroit Police force in 1977 until 1981. He was laid off that year and went to Los Angeles to work for the LAPD. From 2009 to 2011 he was police chief in Portland, Maine. From 2011 to 2013 he was chief of police in Cincinnati, Ohio. During his tenure with the Cincinnati Police Department, he changed the rank structure, retired the white police uniforms for navy blue uniforms and temporarily removed hats on patrol.

He was originally appointed police chief by Detroit emergency manager Kevyn Orr.

When Craig took over as police chief he was replacing Chester Logan, who had held the position on an interim basis since the previous October when Ralph Godbee, who was fired for having sexual relations with a subordinate.[1]
