PALM BAY POLICE DEPARTMENT RESPONSE TO A POST THAT WENT VIRAL OVER THE WEEKEND
The Palm Bay Police Department has been made aware of Facebook posts from “Brevard County F.O.P.” calling for law enforcement officers from Minneapolis, Atlanta, and Buffalo to relocate to Brevard County to seek employment with local law enforcement agencies in Brevard County. The “Brevard County F.O.P.” page does not speak for the City of Palm Bay, the Palm Bay Police Department, or our staff members. The Palm Bay Police Department would like to assure the public that it is not affiliated with the “Brevard County F.O.P.”, nor do we condone the opinions expressed in the posts.
In recent days, Police Chief Nelson Moya has led the City of Palm Bay in publicly addressing issues of police brutality and misconduct. Chief Moya and representatives from the Palm Bay Police Department have attended several peaceful demonstrations to show their support, listen to the community, and continue this important conversation. We stand in solidarity with our community and remain committed to positive, proactive community policing by officers who conduct themselves with honor and integrity.
