Former Houston Police Chief and now-Miami Police Chief Art Acevedo has been suspended and faces imminent termination, Miami’s city manager said in a statement Monday evening.
Miami City Manager Art Noriega said Acevedo’s relationship with the Miami Police Department had “deteriorated beyond repair.”
“The relationship between the Chief and the organization has become untenable and needed to be resolved promptly,” wrote Noriega.

Acevedo, who served as HPD police chief for over four years, departed Houston for Miami in late March. When he was hired as Miami’s top cop earlier this year, Acevedo was hailed by Miami’s mayor as the “Michael Jordan of police chiefs.”
“We’re very blessed to have someone in Art who not only has presided over three large departments but is someone who brings a tremendous ability, personality and has the right frame of mind to come in here and make this the best department on the planet,” Miami Mayor Francis Suarez said in March.
Miami’s opinion of Acevedo has since plummeted.
Acevedo faced severe scrutiny after a series of decisions involving top brass at the Miami Police Department and several remarks he made in his first five months at the helm of the department.
View Miami City Manager Art Noriega’s statement in its entirety below.
“Today, I suspended Police Chief Art Acevedo with the intent to terminate his employment, consistent with the City Charter.
The relationship between the Chief and the organization has become untenable and needed to be resolved promptly. In particular, the relationship between the Chief and the Police Department he leads - as well as with the community - has deteriorated beyond repair. Relationships between employers and employees come down to fit and leadership style and unfortunately, Chief Acevedo is not the right fit for this organization.
It is now time to move forward with the search for new leadership at MPD. Assistant Police Chief Manny Morales will be appointed as interim chief as the City engages in the search for a permanent replacement,
As this matter remains a personnel matter between employee and employer, I will have no further comment at this time.”
