After more than three and a half years with the city, Dallas police Chief Eddie García is retiring. Here's what to know about the chief and his departure.

DALLAS — Dallas Police Chief Eddie Garcia has told city officials that he plans to retire from law enforcement and appears to be in line to take a new position with the city of Austin, multiple sources told WFAA. The move means Garcia would be joining T.C. Broadnax, Dallas' former city manager who took the same role in Austin earlier this year.

Chief Eddie Garcia is retiring from the Dallas Police Department, according to multiple reports. The news comes just months after the city agreed to make him one of the state’s highest-paid police chiefs.
