Daniel Oates, the former Miami Beach Police chief who retired in 2019, has been rehired as the top cop of another former police department in Aurora Colorado.

Oates led the police department in the Denver suburb of Aurora when a gunman killed 12 people in a movie theater a decade ago. Now he is returning to temporarily lead the embattled department following the firing of its last chief.

The city, Colorado’s third-largest, announced Wednesday that Daniel Oates will serve as interim chief and help in the selection of the next police chief. He served as police chief in Aurora from 2005 to 2014 before retiring as police chief in Miami Beach.
