The city of Miami on Monday moved to terminate its police chief, a nationally known law official who has been outspoken in his criticism of local leaders. "Today, I suspended Police Chief Art Acevedo with the intent to terminate his employment," City Manager Art Noriega said in a statement.Under Miami's charter, the suspension is a necessary first step in a process of removing the department's chief.
"The relationship between the Chief and the organization has become untenable and needed to be resolved promptly," he said in the statement."In particular, the relationship between the Chief and the Police Department he leads — as well as with the community — has deteriorated beyond repair." Noriega said in his statement that the city will search for a new leader and that Assistant Police Chief Manny Morales takes over on an interim basis."I promise to continue to fight the good fight to rid MPD of the political interference from city hall that unfortunately continues to negatively impact this organization," he said.." He said the comment was an attempt at humor that was being politicized against him.
