I met Jeff Lazzeri while working in the security department of Dadeland Jordan Marsh back in 1982. Jeff was a direct and to the point person with a fantastic sense of humor. Story telling? Jeff's eyes would light up when he'd tell his career stories while working at MDPD. Jeff was directly and indirectly responsible for several of the JM security people getting into law enforcement as a career. People like Jeff Lazzeri are few and far between. Rest In Peace JJ.
