Eddie Garcia served as Dallas' police chief for three and a half years before leaving last October to become assistant city manager for public safety in Austin.
The city said Executive Assistant Chief Michael Igo's appointment will take effect Oct. 18 as current Chief Eddie Garcia transitions out of the role to become an assistant city manager in Austin. Igo's entire 33 years in law enforcement have been spent on the Dallas force.
