Miami police chief being fired after 6 months on the job
Fox News
Miami officials have decided to fire the city’s new police chief six months into his stormy tenure, after he was lambasted by city commissioners who he accused of meddling in the police department and internal affairs investigations.
"The relationship between the Chief and the organization has become untenable and needed to be resolved promptly," Noriega said. "Chief Acevedo is not the right fit for this organization."
Art Acevedo was recruited by Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, who earlier this year hailed him as "America’s best chief." He was seen as a progressive law enforcer who headed the police department in Houston, but also shared ancestry with hundreds of thousands Cubans in Miami, as a Havana-born refugee.
