Miami Reinstates Officers Disciplined by Fired Chief Acevedo

“They are expected to return some time in the next few weeks,” was all Morales would say,

Commissioner Joe Carollo, an Acevedo critic, welcomed the news. “All those people and others deserve to be put back to their previous ranks and positions,” the commissioner said.

Morales did not offer details to the Miami Herald on why he decided to overturn the personnel decisions of Acevedo.
