Kissimmee police chief search narrows to two finalists

Kissimmee officials are moving closer to appointing a new chief of police, narrowing their search to two finalists: Clermont Police Chief Charles 'Chuck' Broadway and retired Orlando Police Chief Orlando Rolon. The decision will be made by City Manager Mike Steigerwald in the coming weeks, with Wilson Munoz currently serving as Acting Chief. This leadership search follows significant issues within the Kissimmee Police Department, including the resignation of former Chief Betty Holland amid a State Attorney's investigation into excessive force allegations. Steigerwald emphasized that the new chief must continue the reform efforts initiated by Interim Chief Robert Anzueto, who led the department following Holland's departure. Both candidates bring extensive experience, with Broadway having a background in law enforcement since 1996 and Rolon credited with developing community programs during his tenure. The city aims to ensure the next chief fosters transparency and trust within the community.
