Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell has fired former Seattle Police Department chief Adrian Diaz after a lengthy investigation by the Office of Inspector General citing multiple offenses including having an intimate relationship with an employee that he hired.
In an eight-page letter sent to Seattle City Council Tuesday, Harrell outlined multiple claims in detail alleging Diaz was dishonest about his relationship with the employee, hired the employee and circumvented the normal human resources process.
According to the letter, Diaz “had an intimate or romantic relationship” with a former SPD employee, and then hired and directly supervised that employee. The letter also states the employee “wrote a handwritten card to Diaz that indicates a romantic or intimate relationship took place between Diaz” and the employee.
Diaz also “made direct statements/admissions” to other city employees about his “intimate interactions” with the employee.
