Karen Dietrich is no longer interested in being Fort Lauderdale's police chief now that the city manager plans to hire a new interim chief not interested in applying for the job as top cop.
Karen Dietrich is stepping down as interim chief of the Fort Lauderdale Police Department after six months in the role, effectively taking herself out of the running to be the agency’s top cop.
An earlier search to replace former Chief Rick Maglione failed to lure enough good candidates, city officials say. A new interim chief also will be named to level the playing field.
