The position will now be two levels higher, will report to the superintendent and will have a seat on his cabinet.
"We are extremely fortunate to have someone with Chief Kitzerow's breadth and depth of experience to lead our School District Police Department," Fennoy said in a statement. "Chief Kitzerow has built his career by working with multiple local, state and federal agencies, and that knowledge will only benefit our students, teachers and staff in Palm Beach County."
