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.
