The union represents 27 officers. On Sept. 28, 23 members voted no confidence in Frazzano, who took charge of the department in 2019. “The trust and confidence between the members of this union and Chief Frazzano is broken beyond repair,” the letter states. “This vote of no confidence was done as a last resort.” The union alleges Frazzano showed up to crime scenes in workout clothes, issued unfair discipline, and put the safety of officers and the community at risk. It also says many officers have left because of what the union describes as poor leadership. McNees said he currently has no plans to remove Frazzano but will meet with the union to discuss their concerns in more detail. “I certainly don't have a plan to remove her,” McNees said. “My next step is to hear out the union, hear what they have to say.” Frazzano issued a statement addressing the union’s concerns:"I want to take a moment to address the recent vote of no confidence expressed by our union members. I appreciate their willingness to share their opinions on various topics that impact our department and the city of Marco Island. As someone who has served as a police union delegate, I understand the significance of voicing concerns and ensuring everyone feels heard. This vote is a serious reflection of the sentiments among our uniformed members, and I want to assure you that I do not take it lightly. I recognize that I am not perfect and do have weaknesses. I am committed to being a continual learner and will take this opportunity to work diligently with my team to create a better internal culture for the Marco Island Police Department." The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, where more clarity is expected on the union’s demands and the city’s next steps. </div></body>
