Officials in Ocoee have chosen a familiar face to head up their police department.

They announced the appointment of Vincent Ogburn, Sr. to serve as their next Chief.

Ogburn has served as Deputy Chief of Operations for the Ocoee Police Department since 2020, and has held the role of Interim Chief since former Chief Saima Plasencia was fired back in December.

Ogburn started his law enforcement career in 1991 with the Florida Highway Patrol as a state trooper serving Orange and Osceola Counties.

In 1996, the Orlando Police Department hired him as a patrol officer, but he eventually rose through the ranks to serve as a Deputy Chief.

Peloton to lay off 400 employees as CEO Barry McCarthy departs
Peloton, the exercise equipment maker and online fitness course provider, said it is laying off 15% of its workforce (about 400 people) as part of cost-cutting measures. The company also said its CEO, president, and board director, Barry McCarthy, would step down after two years in the role. McCarthy, who was previously CFO at Spotify and Netflix, was coerced out of retirement in early 2022 when Peloton's co-founder and then-CEO, John Foley, left the role alongside a major cost-cutting effort that saw 2,800 employees laid off.
