Fellsmere Police Chief Keith Touchberry is running for sheriff again.
Touchberry, 58, who filed the required paperwork with the Supervisor of Elections Office last week, was the runner-up to now-Sheriff Eric Flowers in the 2020 Republican primary.
Touchberry, though, sees himself as a stronger candidate now, having raised his stature beyond being a small-town police chief. In fact, he was inducted as president of the 1,000-member Florida Police Chiefs Association in August.
Officer wellness, recruitment and retention are just three of the priorities Police Chief Keith Touchberry is setting for himself as he takes on the presidency of the Florida Police Chiefs Association.
Touchberry, 58, was sworn in as president by Fellsmere Mayor Joel Tyson the second week of August during the association’s 70th Summer Training Conference in Palm Beach Gardens.
Also continuing on the Florida Police Chief’s Association board overseeing District 6 for another year is Vero Beach Police Chief David Currey.
