In tonight's episode, Florence battled with her decision and initially turned down the role.
But after a heart-to-heart with Commissioner Selwyn Patterson and some wise words from Neville about facing your fears, Florence agreed to the new job.
Florence returned to the place where her fiancé Patrice was murdered and told Commissioner Patterson that a part of her died when she lost him.
A heartbroken Florence told him: "I really want this job but I feel angry for myself being so afraid."
"Don’t be, fear can keep you safe," the Commissioner reassured her.
She remarked: "But it can imprison you."

The commissioner explained that he could put the decision on a temporary hold until she was completely sure.
Neville then helped Florence make her mind up when he decided to face his fears and jump out of a place as part of the investigation.
After deciding to face her own fears, Florence accepted the role and said an emotional goodbye to Neville.
Viewers were heartbroken as they watched Florence leave San Marie.
Fans have also shared their horror that Florence may be "killed off" after a preview clip for next week showed a gun being pointed at her by murder suspect Miranda Priestley.
Neville and the team then hear the gun being fired and race to save her - but is it too late?
One fan wrote: "I’m really hoping the fan theories about Florence being killed aren’t true, but #deathinparadise has pulled the rug from under our feet throughout the years."
Another posted: "Surely Florence won’t get shot twice whilst in the line of duty? That’d be really unlucky. #deathinparadise "
"#deathinparadise It’s been one minute and I already miss Florence bring her back please," one viewer pleaded.
A fourth commented: “Florence is my favourite. Really hoping she doesn’t leave. #deathinparadise”
Another gutted fan wrote: "Florence is leaving...noooo."
Someone else said: “She’s my favourite as well...better not leave. #deathinparadise"
One viewer predicted: “Cassell will crack the case and decide she wants to stay.#deathinparadise"
