Chief Acevedo has long been a proponent of relational policing and has a career that spans from Los Angeles to Austin to Houston and soon to be Miami, Florida. We were so happy to hear that Chief Acevedo will soon lead the City of Miami as their new Chief of Police. Though we know Houston will miss his presence and the heart and passion he displays for his officers and his community, we also believe that he will bring that same spirit to his new hometown.
