In the wake of the
Palm Beach County Police Benevolent Association President John Kazanjian said the association voted on Friday to ask PBSO to submit a proposal to merge with the school district s police department and take over operations. It s about time that he left. Because since he s been over there, the morale has just gone as low as it can get, Kazanjian said of Kitzerow s resignation. I m glad he s gone.
Kazanjian said the low morale is attributed, in part, to Kitzerow bringing in his own policies, trying to change the culture of the department, and running an operation that was too heavy on administration.

The new police chief in Jupiter checks in for Protecting the Palm Beaches, brought to you by the Palm Beach County Sheriff s Office. David England took the helm after former Chief Dan Kerr s retirement in February.
He shares positive news. We re down 14% in our traffic crashes. We have 19 less than we had through the same time period (Feb 20 - Feb 21) last year. And for crimes, we re actually down 20 percent. We re down 14 incidents from the same time again last year.
Chief England says his team works hard to get those numbers down. We re pleased. You know, we put a lot of effort into going out into the community and not only solving crimes, but preventing crimes.
