Cocoa Beach Police Chief Gets 14 Weeks Of Unused Paid Time, Then To Resign

After he uses up his remaining 14 months of unused paid time off, the police chief in Cocoa Beach will walk away from the job. Cocoa Beach Police Chief Scott Rosenfeld and the city have reached an agreement that calls for him to then retire. Following allegations of creating a hostile work environment, Rosenfeld has been on paid administrative leave since February. The mutually agreed to settlement arrangement specifies that Rosenfeld will not be involved in operations of the police department from now through Aug. 31, 2024. That’s when his paid-time-off payments will run out. At that, he no longer will be a city employee. The 14 additional months of paid time off will add up to more than $132,000.
