(The Center Square) – Police Chief Adrian Diaz is stepping down from his role as head of the Seattle Police Department amid an increasing number of issues within the department.
Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell announced the move on Wednesday, stating that Diaz “will be stepping aside to work on special assignments.”
Former King County Sheriff Sue Rahr will serve as the interim police chief, but Harrell said she will not be considered for the permanent police chief position.
Last month, Diaz was accused of grooming and harassment by four female SPD officers, who filed a $5 million tort claim of damages against the city earlier this month. The officers allege sex discrimination, sexual harassment and a hostile work environment within SPD.
