The Chief Press Foundation | with Charles R. Press, Town of Surfside's New Police Chief
Chief Charles "Chuck" Press spent 17 years as chief of police in Key Biscayne. In this episode, Chief Press joins Key Biscayne Stories to talk about the ride-along that changed his life, what it took to rebuild a police department from the ground up, and how a small Christmas toy drive grew into the Chief Press Foundation, which has raised over $700,000 and forged a sister-city bond between Key Biscayne and Liberty City.
We cover:
Beating out 75 candidates nationwide to become Key Biscayne's police chief
The origin of the Chief Press Foundation and its Christmas toy drives in Liberty City
Making Liberty City Key Biscayne's official sister city
Opening food pantries in Liberty City and Homestead
His unexpected return to policing as Chief of Police in the Town of Surfside
Key Biscayne Stories is a podcast where neighbors meet neighbors — conversations with the people who shape our island community.
