Arres said of Zbrozek, "He’s an experienced supervisor who leads by example, takes great pride in his job and exemplifies the City’s core values daily. I look forward to Deputy Chief Zbrozek’s continued leadership of the Investigations Division and contributions to our department’s administrative team," per a news release.

In a statement, Zbrozek said he was "grateful" for his new role with the police department. He added, "As the dynamics of our department continue to change, one of my main areas of focus will be on training, career development and succession planning to ensure we can maintain not only the high level of performance currently achieved by the Investigations Division but also our strong community and school partnerships and crime prevention efforts."
