Barry Skolnick and Alvin Eskanazy, co-founders of the nonprofit Community-Police Relations Foundation, formed in 2017 to assist law enforcement communities in South Florida and around the country, are involved in a legal battle.

Skolnick accused Eskanazy of misusing funds in mid-June. Now, Eskanazy has filed a $10 million defamation countersuit, alleging that Skolnick falsely informed donors about the misuse.
