Shown The Door?

Did Cisco Ortiz, the outgoing police chief, leave of his own accord as the City Hall fell all over themselves saying or , like former Fire Chief Dennis Daniels, did the mayor show him the door. My gut tells me it was the latter, but no one from City Hall would ever admit it. The mayor doesn't like controversy and, according to script, city powerbrokers made the company line clear. As Rob Smuts, the city's CAO, put it, who could begrudge a good opportunity for a good guy.
Anyone who follows the p.d. knows the relationship between the mayor and Ortiz was, at times, strained and some people would argue the "at times" is too generous. So, did Ortiz land the security at Yale on his own and make his decision on his own terms or did the mayor, looking for a way to jettison the chief without it being blatantly obvious that he jettisoned the chief, make some calls to Yale to make sure Ortiz had a soft landing and a nice press conference.
Dunno. And City Hall will never tell.
