The City of Miami Police Department (MPD) will get a new top cop next year, and more than 30 applicants from around the U.S. have thrown their hats into the ring to replace the current chief of police, Jorge Colina.
Colina, a 30-year veteran of the MPD, has led the department for three years. Earlier this year, he announced that he would step down in January, sparking a nationwide search for a replacement.
The search comes on the heels of major unrest and increased scrutiny of American police departments following the death of George Floyd at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer. Colina himself came under fire this year when he was accused in June of using the N-word during a law-enforcement training session in 1997, and in September when he was named in a lawsuit alleging widespread corruption in the MPD by a fired detective who testified against another officer in an FBI investigation.
