Chief Art Acevedo

Life in @austintexasgov ain’t perfect, but it sure doesn’t get much better than this (freshly caught fish fry and floating Lake Austin). Here’s to a great day and to @Austin_Police Lake Patrol who have been by this area several times on this busy Sunday keeping folks safe.…

Saddened by the passing of former @austintexasgov Council Member @billspelman. His impactful lifetime of service and inspiring passion for public policy will be deeply missed. I cherish our discussions, many filled with laughter. He mastered disagreeing without becoming…

Looking forward to joining Albuquerque Police Chief Harold Medina and many other outstanding leaders at the 2025 Safety of our Cities Conference in Albuquerque, NM, August 27 - 29, 2025. This is sure to be a very informative conference and there is still time to register. Let…

Slow down, Austin! Speeding is the #1 contributing factor in crashes on our roads. Drive a safe speed and help us #EndTheStreakTX. #BeSafeDriveSmart #DriveLikeATexan . Reduce la velocidad, Austin! El exceso de velocidad es la principal causa de accidentes en nuestras carreteras.…

Outstanding work by @TxDPS! A Trooper has arrested a person in connection with threats against state lawmakers. Great to see that once again our state and local law enforcement professionals are working hard to keep us safe. #RelationalPolicing

Wishing my brother Nelson, my brother-in-law James Roper; a Vietnam Purple Heart combat veteran who recently passed away, my cousin, my nephew - an active duty @WestPoint_USMA graduate, and all who have honorably served in @Army throughout the past 250 years and serve today, all…

The Middle East is on fire, the people of United States are facing an unprecedented number of public safety and national security threats, and rather than focusing their limited resources on these serious threats, our Federal partners are committing disproportionate level of…

And look at what just made an appearance! Beautiful cool evening. #RelationalPolicing

Hey everyone! I just took this photo, and I’m on the lookout for the first person who can guess where I took it. If you’re the lucky one, you’ll get a challenge coin! Just a heads up, let’s try to avoid using any AI tools and be super specific about your guesses. And for my…

Interesting read ⁦@BecauseMiami⁩, 💧💧💧💧💧 Miami Commissioner Joe Carollo to lose appeal on $63.5 million judgement - Political Cortadito politicalcortadito.com/2025/06/06/mia…

Reallocating limited Federal law enforcement personnel from their daily mission of combating violent crime, foreign and homegrown terrorism, our drug epidemic, and many other critical missions is misguided. @DOJCrimDiv, @ATFHQ, @FBI, and their crime-fighting sister agencies need…

This long-overdue, fantastic news will bring peace of mind to many first responders and their families and will open the door to this noble profession to many more. Congratulations ⁦@SanDiegoPD⁩! Departments with live academies take note. nbcsandiego.com/news/local/san…

I love aviation and flying ⁦@AmericanAir⁩. About to start final leg of a business trip. Any guesses as to where I am about to board another on time flight? AA, you can’t play. #RelationalPolicing

The war on cartels and drugs has primarily focused on law enforcement and has been waged within the US, neglecting the source of the problem. This approach has missed an opportunity to enhance safety in communities on both sides of the US-Mexico border. The US Department of…
