Richard "Bo" Dietl, a renowned New York City Police Officer and Detective, served the force from June 1969 until his retirement in 1985. Throughout his illustrious career, Bo earned numerous accolades, boasting an impressive arrest record of several thousand individuals. Two pivotal cases exemplify his remarkable achievements: the 1981 convent rape and torture of a nun, which was deemed "the most vicious crime in New York City history" by former Mayor Edward I. Koch, and the 1984 Palm Sunday Massacre, one of the city's most brutal mass slayings, resulting in the deaths of ten people. Bo's tireless efforts led to the arrest and conviction of the perpetrators in both cases.
In addition to his law enforcement career, Bo is a published author, co-authoring the book "One Tough Cop," which chronicles his life as a New York City police detective. The book's success was later adapted into a major motion picture. His subsequent book, "Business Lunchatations," a guide to networking and business strategies, debuted in April 2005 and reached the #5 spot on Amazon's Business Best Seller List.
Bo's versatility has led him to explore various roles in the entertainment industry. He served as an Associate Producer on the film "The Bone Collector" and a Producer on "Table One." In television, Bo has worked as an Executive Producer on ABC's "The Runner," originally slated for release in 2002, and CBS TV's "The Gray Area."
