DORAL, Fla. \u2014 The city of Doral could soon have a new top cop.<\/p>\n

Local 10 News has learned the city offered the job to Matthew Castillo, the current Miami Springs Chief of Police. <\/p>\n

The leadership change comes after Doral Police Chief Edwin Lopez announced he will step down from the position to become the next chief for the Miami Police Department<\/a>. <\/p>\n

In a statement to Local 10 News, Castillo said: <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m extremely grateful for the opportunity to be considered for such a prestigious position with the city of Doral. At the same time, I\u2019m incredibly thankful to the city of Miami Springs and the Miami Springs Police Department for everything they\u2019ve provided me throughout my career and for the trust they\u2019ve placed in me over the years. This is a major professional and personal decision, so before making any final commitment, I need to have further discussions with my family. With that said, I\u2019m very honored by the opportunity and I am leaning toward accepting the position.\u201d<\/p>\n
