Summary
Charles L. Broadway was sworn in as chief of the Kissimmee Police Department; Broadway emphasized community partnership and continuity with department leadership during brief remarks.
Charles L. Broadway was sworn in as chief of the Kissimmee Police Department during the City Commission meeting, taking an oath to uphold the U.S. and Florida constitutions and the laws and ordinances of the City of Kissimmee.
The swearing-in, performed by Danny Banks, Orange County deputy county administrator of public safety, followed a short introduction by city staff noting that Broadway was selected from nine candidates and has more than 29 years of law enforcement experience, including 13 years as chief of the Claremont Police Department and service with the New York City Police Department.
In his remarks after the oath, Chief Broadway said he was “deeply honored” and “humbled” to serve, and said he was “dedicated to leading with integrity, transparency, and a strong commitment to public safety.” He thanked the city manager, Mayor Espinosa and city leadership for the appointment and praised Major Robert Anzueto for his work as interim police chief.
Broadway described policing as a calling and emphasized partnership with the community, saying, “Effective public safety is a partnership,” and urging officers to “remember your why” when doing the work.
The commission recognized the transition from interim leadership and presented ceremonial remarks thanking Major Robert Anzueto for serving as interim chief for several months.
The ceremony included attendance by local and regional law enforcement leaders and city officials.
