BROWARD COUNTY, Fla. — Broward Sheriff Greg Tony is overhauling his organization, with a new focus on deputy training, threat management and recruiting.
Tony, who was appointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis in January after the governor removed former Sheriff Scott Israel, submitted his first proposed budget to county commissioners Wednesday.
The office’s “focus this year will be to build the most comprehensive public safety training facility in the State of Florida,” Tony said in his budget message. The regional training center would be built using reserve funds and would ensure that county deputies and other first responders never lack necessary training, he said.
