Tequesta Police Top Brass Return To Streets
Police Chief, Other Top Officers Will Assist With Shift Work, Routine Calls
POSTED: 10:51 am EDT July 18, 2011
TEQUESTA, Fla. -- The Tequesta Police Department is putting its top cops back on the streets.
Tequesta police have restructured their road patrol so that there are three officers on shift at all
times -- including Chief Pete Pitocchelli, Capt. Rick Ricciardi and Lt. Jason Turner. They will assist
with shift work and routine calls such as burglaries and traffic stops.
The new schedule, which began Monday, is to increase Tequesta's police presence and eliminate
overtime costs whenever an officer is out sick or on vacation.
Pitocchelli said the new shift "will help command staff maintain a pulse on what is happening
within the community and ensure command level officers remain in touch with what our road
patrol officers deal with on a regular basis."
