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.
