APS Police Chief will not be fired

No matter what APS Police Chief Steve Tellez has done, he will not be fired.  He can't be fired for the same reason they couldn't fire Gil Lovato, link.

Tellez cannot be fired without giving him his day in court.  At the end of that day, "... there won't be a single senior APS administrator left standing."

Instead, he will be placed on administrative leave with pay until his contract expires.

It's one of the tricks APS uses to keep the accused from defending themselves by exposing their body maps in open court. 

The other trick is to begin administrative investigations before (or instead of) criminal investigations, as has been done in the current investigation of allegations against Tellez.  The timing obfuscates outside law enforcement's ability to prosecute administrators criminally.  That's why under normal circumstances, criminal investigations precede administrative investigations.

Circumstances where people don't get to write their own rules.
