SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio Police Department Assistant Chief Anthony Treviño will retire, effective Friday, multiple sources confirmed to the KSAT 12 Defenders.

Treviño indicated after being named interim chief that he wanted the position permanently.
“I don’t view it as me keeping the seat warm for somebody else,” Trevino said in December 2014. “I plan on putting in for the permanent position.”
Officials with SAPD media services did not immediately respond to a request for comment about Treviño’s departure.
