FAMU Police Chief Resigns
April 3rd, 2012 by Mike VasilindaFlorida A and M University is looking for a new police chief tonight. Chief Calvin Ross resigned today after eleven years on the job. Ross says his departure is voluntary, despite multiple hazing investigations that are on going at the college. The chief says he promised his wife in 2011 that he would retire at the end of the year, but circumstances, including the death of a drum major, forced him to stay on longer than anticipated.
“Then the Champion incident happened” says Ross “And I had to beg off and committed to stay around until we got through the bulk of this crisis.”
Ross will stay on the 98 thousand dollar a year job until May first. He spent 11 years as chief. Before that he was the first secretary of the Department of Juvenile Justice and before that spent 23 years with Miami PD, including serving as the departments chief.
