Seattle Police Chief Adrian Diaz has been dismissed from his role amid multiple lawsuits alleging discrimination. A police captain sued, alleging Diaz discriminated against women and people of color, while several female officers also filed a $5 million tort claim alleging harassment and sex discrimination. Harrell said the lawsuits had become a distraction for Diaz and the department. Diaz oversaw the department for four years and took over as acting chief in 2020 after his predecessor resigned following protests against police violence. Diaz will transition to special assignments for the mayor within the police department.
