Boca Raton, FL – Boca Post (BocaPost.com) — After 8 short months, Daniel Alexander has resigned from his position as Police Chief of the School District of Palm Beach County. This resignation marks the 2nd time someone has quit that job in less than a years time.

Alexander served as the police chief of The City of Boca Raton for 13 years before joining the ranks of the School Police in December of 2019 as Deputy Chief. Alexander was then promoted to Chief when his predecessor, former Chief Frank Kitzerow, quit the post in April 2021.
