After a two-month search, a Palm Beach County panel selected Kalinthia Dillard to lead the Inspector General’s Office, where she has worked for a decade.

Dillard competed against Jim Kirdar of the U.S. Capitol Police for the job. Kirdar has more than 20 years of experience in law enforcement and federal work, while Dillard has decades of experience in Florida, particularly in Palm Beach County.

She served as an attorney for many agencies, including the Palm Beach County School District, and has worked in the IG’s office as general counsel and deputy inspector general.
