Art Acevedo was sworn in as the interim leader of the Aurora Police Department during Monday's Aurora City Council meeting.
Denver7 Investigates reported on Nov. 14 that the City of Aurora was looking to hire Acevedo as interim police chief. The next day, the city announced Acevedo's appointment to the role.
Earlier this year, Acevedo filed a lawsuit against the city of Miami claiming he was wrongfully fired as Miami’s police chief in 2021 after just a few months on the job. Acevedo is claiming they fired him for blowing the whistle on wrongdoing by city officials, as CNN reported. Acevedo most recently worked as a CNN law enforcement analyst and an adviser with the body camera analytics company Truleo.
A melancholy happy trails to Chief Dan Oates who retired today after serving as interim Aurora Chief for the last 6 months.
