Art Acevedo

City Council members say they agree APD needs more resources, but they're not sure what that should look like.

Changes have been made in the years since a 2018 lawsuit, but survivors said there is more to be done. The changes will not impact most of the plaintiffs, but many said their fight was about how the system serves people moving forward.

The City of Austin announced last week that Acevedo would return for a newly created position to oversee police. But after backlash from the community, he said he will not take the job.

Several social justice leaders told KUT his return is a step backward and undermines the work many in the community have been doing to reform the criminal justice system, especially around sexual assault cases.

Acevedo led Austin's police department from 2007 to 2016. He left to become Houston’s police chief. Since then, he’s worked in Miami and Colorado, and even spent some time as an on-air analyst for CNN.

Miami Police Chief Art Acevedo, a star in law enforcement circles, appears to be out of a job after six months. He's had a rocky tenure, clashing with city leaders who he says are meddling.

Acevedo, who was sworn in as Houston Police chief in 2016 after leaving the Austin Police Department, said in an email that his departure was “bittersweet.”
