NYPD career

After injuring his ankle in a skydiving accident, Dietl retired from the NYPD in March 1985 (rather than take a desk job) and went on to found Beau Dietl & Associates, specializing in corporate investigations for major international companies. Among his clients are Columbia Pictures, Coca-Cola, Grey Advertising, PaineWebber, Lehman Brothers, Bankers Trust and the Saudi Royal Family. Dietl was also given the secret Kentucky Fried Chicken recipe to safeguard while the company's internal security was being revamped [http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/K/KFC_SECRET?SITE=AZPHG&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT] .

Film

In 1998 Dietl's autobiography "One Tough Cop: The Bo Dietl Story" was made into the film One Tough Cop starring Stephen Baldwin as Bo Dietl. [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0122642/]

The plot in Abel Ferrara's crime drama "Bad Lieutenant" is mainly inspired by Dietl's investigation of the rape of a young nun. Dietl played a role in the movie, which had Harvey Keitel as the anti-hero, as one of the investigating detectives.

Dietl also played the narc who arrests Henry Hill in Martin Scorsese's 1990 film, "Goodfellas".

Radio and Television

Dietl is a frequent guest of Don Imus on the "Imus in the Morning" radio program on WABC radio and simulcast on RFD-TV. He has also appeared on "The Daily Show" with Jon Stewart.

According to "The New York Times", Dietl claimed to have talked to Imus just after the cancellation of the MSNBC simulcast of Imus' morning show on April 11, 2007. Dietl said that he had just talked by telephone with the host, and that Imus' mood was "very down, very upset about what occurred with MSNBC. I said to him that they didn't even give him time to talk to the victims. He agreed with me."
