Tampa Police Department Assistance Chief Ruben "Butch" Delgado announced he is retiring this Summer. He plans to take a job with the private sector, he said.
Tampa police say violent crime is down and they'd like to keep it that way. To help, they're leaning on the community for possible solutions on curbing gun violence and feedback.

Tampa Mayor Jane Castor announced Mary O'Connor would be the city’s new police chief. O'Connor will take over for former Chief Brian Dugan who retired after 31 years with Tampa Police last September.
