Baltimore County executive taps agency veteran for interim police chief, makes other personnel moves

Col. Dennis J. Delp will become Baltimore County’s interim police chief beginning in early December as the county mounts a national search for a permanent replacement, the county announced Monday. The current police chief, Melissa Hyatt, will leave the department Dec. 5 at the conclusion of her contract, a decision announced by County Executive Johnny Olszewski Jr. last week. He has declined to comment on the reason behind her departure.
