Members of the Aurora City Council meet during their weekly city council meeting in the City Council Chambers at Aurora Municipal Center on December 5, 2022 in Aurora, Colorado. Part of this weekÕs session was the swearing-in of Interim Police Chief Art Acevedo. Wearing the Aurora Police Department uniform,ÊArt AcevedoÊofficially took the helm of APD at a Monday evening swearing in ceremony. He succeeds the previous interim chief, Dan Oates, who played a hand in recruiting Acevedo to the position. Acevedo has led a tumultuous and widely-followed career Ñ from gaining national attention for walking alongside racial justice protesters and a reputation as a reform-friendly chief to being fired from his last post as MiamiÕs chief of police, prompting him to file a wrongful termination lawsuit.
