HPD Police Chief Art Acevedo leaving for Miami, FL

[Blue Dogs]

In a move that surprised some but didn't with others, HPD Police Chief Art Acevedo recently announced he was leaving the Space City for South Beach & becoming the new police chief of the Miami PD in Miami, FL. 

In his last press conference, he also got into another testy exchange with NBC 2 KPRC-TV Houston reporter Mario Diaz.

Texas Monthly had an article detailing how Acevedo managed to piss off everybody. 

Give me your thoughts on Acevedo's tenure as HPD Police Chief & how he'll be remembered ?

 

Yesterday inside Houston City Hall: Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner (D) announced Troy Finner would become the new HPD Police Chief replacing Acevedo.

Former Chief Art Acevedo — recently fired from his job in Miami — has found a new job: he’s now a newsman.

The former Houston police chief tweeted Tuesday that he’d joined CNN as a commentator focused on law enforcement and criminal justice.

Maybe there’s a campaign for  National office in his future?

Let's hope not. The man is a loon.

I doubt Acevedo will keep that job very long. He'll be back in law enforcement down the road!
