MIAMI (WSVN) - The director of the Miami-Dade Police Department is retiring after serving the force for more than three decades.
Director Stephanie Daniels made the official announcement in a video posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, Friday morning.
“Together, we’ve navigated challenges, celebrated victories, and most importantly made a lasting impact on the lives of those we served. This isn’t a goodbye, it’s just a transition into a new role where I will continue cheering you from afar,” said Daniels in the video.

Daniels made history as the first female director of the department, which she served for more than 32 years.
She joined after serving in the state attorney’s office and with the City of Miami Department.
Daniels will be succeeded by Sheriff-elect Rosie Cordero-Stutz.
Next year, Cordero-Stutz will take over as the department’s first sheriff in 60 years, after winning the election as the republican nominee last month.
