DORAL, Fla. — Miami-Dade Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz is making leadership changes.
In a statement on Monday afternoon, Detective Joseph R. Peguero Rivera described the changes as “not only routine but also essential.”
Without defining the changes, Peguero Rivera, a spokesman for the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office, wrote that “these transitions play a crucial role in the comprehensive transformation from a county department to a fully independent Sheriff’s Office.”
Peguero Rivera did not identify the leaders affected. Instead, he wrote, that they “have served this agency and our community, and we thank them for their dedication and years of service.”
