Broward County Deputies Schedule No-Confidence Vote For Sheriff Scott Israel


The Broward Sheriff’s Office Deputies Association has scheduled a no-confidence vote for Sheriff Scott Israel over his behavior during the lead-up to and aftermath of the Parkland school shooting, union president Deputy Jeff Bell announced Friday.

The union is accusing Israel of “many instances of suspected malfeasance, misfeasance, failure to maintain fiduciary responsibility by the sheriff, failure to properly investigate possible criminal conduct by members of his senior command staff and the lack of leadership that has crushed morale throughout the agency.”

This surprised me. Deputies here are political appointments so I think Broward County is different. You would think that a lot of them would lose their jobs. Israel should have resigned already....

In Broward County, this is an elected position. I don't expect him to resign. He is very political and I'm sure he's hoping he can ride this thing out.

Wonder when he is up for re-election?

Broward deputies union votes 'no confidence' in Sheriff Israel



A union of deputies in Florida on Thursday announced it has "no confidence" in Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel.

The Broward Sheriff's Office Deputies Association said a symbolic vote among its members, initiated last week, indicated 534 of 628 officers in the union voted they had no confidence in the sheriff.



Bell said the association's next step is to present the vote to Florida Gov. Rick Scott — who rejected calls from some state legislators to suspend Israel after the shooting — and to ask him to "please make change and replace the sheriff with somebody who is capable of amazing leadership."

That's a message.

In law enforcement, where their lives depend so much on each other, it tells us a lot.

In a tough spot, he won't have their backs. They know it.
