Chitwood served as chief of police in the Daytona Beach Police Department from 2006 to 2016. He became the sheriff of Volusia County in 2017, after which he conducted police reform with the goal of reducing use-of-force and bias among officers. In 2023, he was targeted by antisemitic activists inside and outside the state of Florida following his statements denouncing the anti-Jewish hate group Goyim Defense League.
