NEW: Aurora is looking to hire Art Acevedo as its interim police chief, Denver7 Investigates has learned. Earlier this year, Acevedo filed a lawsuit against the city of Miami claiming he was wrongfully fired as Miami’s police chief. JennKovaleski
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 most recently worked as a CNN law enforcement analyst and an adviser with the body camera analytics company Truleo. Prior to that, Acevedo was hired as the chief of the Miami Police Department in April 2021 but was then fired that October. He was hired amid high praise from Miami’s police chief – who called Acevedo the “Tom Brady or the Michael Jordan of police chiefs" – after more than four years as the Houston Police Department chief.
The interest from the city in Acevedo comes a little more than two months after it decided to scrap its last two finalists for the chief position and start the process over.
