Garcia told city officials on Thursday that he is planning on retiring from law enforcement and taking an assistant city manager role overseeing public safety in Austin.

Dallas Police Chief Eddie Garcia will be taking on a new role as the Assistant City Manager of the City of Austin.

Police leaders say Chief Eddie García’s impact can’t be reduced to a single event in Dallas. In his more than three years here, he oversaw drops in arrests for lower-level offenses, reckoned with pyramid promotional schemes involving his officers and created a new constitutional policing unit.
