The management of Florida police and the Department of Community Safety have intervened in the ongoing Florida CPF saga and announced that CPF elections will go ahead this year, setting aside the election postponement announced earlier this month.

CPF elections are a year overdue and were initially set to take place early in November before a serious health scare for chairperson Farhaad Sardiwalla prompted the executive to announce a postponement to February next year.

During a recent meeting held at the Florida Police Station, however, it was decided to move forward.
