Fort Pierce commissioners are split on choosing a new police chief, with debate over reinstating veteran Caleb Gillette or selecting from three external candidates.
Fort Pierce city commissioners are divided over selecting a new police chief, with three external candidates under consideration despite calls to reinstate internal candidate Caleb Gillette, a 24-year veteran endorsed by the police union.
Commissioner Michael Broderick and Mayor Linda Hudson urged reconsidering Gillette, citing institutional knowledge and morale concerns, while others upheld the city manager’s authority to choose from the final three finalists.
The city manager, Richard Chess, will recommend a candidate by December 8, with a commission vote expected, though a 2-2 split could delay the decision.
The search follows recent turmoil, including a commissioner’s arrest, and amid concerns over a $21 million police budget seen as inadequate.
