Art Acevedo, a nationally recognized law enforcement expert who has more than 35 years of law enforcement experience and who served as police chief in Austin, Texas, Houston and most recently Miami, will lead the Aurora Police Department on an interim basis as the city resets the national recruitment process for a permanent chief. Current Interim Police Chief Daniel J. Oates will return to his home and family in Florida upon Acevedo’s arrival and a successful transition in early December.
