Florida Police Chiefs Association Applauds Governor DeSantis and the Florida Legislature for Enactment of HB 3
Tallahassee, Fla. – The Florida Police Chiefs Association (FPCA) today applauded Governor Ron DeSantis and the Florida Legislature for the historic passage and enactment of House Bill (HB) 3.
“With the Governor’s signature on HB 3, Florida’s police agencies now have powerful tools to recruit and retain the most capable, professional officers, ” said FPCA president and Daytona Beach Shores Public Safety Department Director Stephan Dembinsky. “Despite our chiefs’ best efforts, police agencies still face great difficulty recruiting enough qualified officers. From hiring bonuses and educational scholarships, to support for law enforcement families and a new emphasis on health and wellness training, HB 3 is just what we need.”
