Hello I am an Employee of Florida International University. A friend who is employee of the City of Miami Police Department told me that FIU is getting a new Chief. He said that an upper level FIU Public Safety official and retired member of Public Safety were meeting with university officials to bring a former City of Miami Assistant Chief Vega to the department. Also Mr. Vega just step down form Police Department job in New Jersey to take the job.
There was some unhappiness with members of Public Safety Management Staff over the way they have been treated and pay issues. Some of the members of the Command staff have been over at the Charles Perry Building lobbying for Mr.Vega.
When I first learned of this did not believe it and believed I may have been given false information. Bill has always been well respected in the FIU community. I hope for FIU this is just failed attempt by few discontented members of his leadership team.
The only uncertainties I have are several news articles online that state Vega did step down from his current job to move back to Florida I hope that Bill does stay with FIU and this not in anyway racially motivated.
I posted this on here because my friend told me this is a good site to get information from Law Enforcement Community.
