Boynton Beach Police Chief Michael Gregory announced his resignation at a time when the community is anxiously awaiting the results of an Internal Affairs investigation into a crash that left a young boy dead and the possibility of a merger with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.
In the wake of a Boynton Beach boy's death during a police pursuit, newly elected Boynton Beach Mayor Ty Penserga called for a vote as to whether to contract for law enforcement with the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office. The city commission, largely as inexperienced as Penserga, should take care that such a move is more about protecting the populace than kowtowing to police unions.
