A panel of the Florida commission that oversees police to make sure they are competent and ethical will meet on Tuesday to decide whether there is probable cause to revoke Broward Sheriff Gregory Tony’s law enforcement certification.
If probable cause is found, the full Florida Criminal Justice Standards & Training Commission (CJS&T) would consider Tony’s case in August. If Tony’s certification is yanked, he could no longer be a police officer anywhere in the state, which among other things means he would have no power to make an arrest.
Tony, however, would remain as Broward’s sheriff because elected sheriffs are constitutional officers and are not required to be certified police officers. For example, former Broward Sheriff Ken Jenne was a civilian, not a sworn police officer.
Still, if Tony is decertified it would be politically embarrassing for Gov. Ron DeSantis, who appointed Tony, a former Coral Springs police sergeant, in January 2019 to replace Sheriff Scott Israel in the wake of the Parkland school massacre.

DeSantis is the embarrassing factor. I’m embarrassed for non Floridaians to know I live here and even voted for that man. After he allowed all those babies to die unnecessarily from covid and all rhe other people, his true character cane right on out. Like we need TWO Donald Trumps in this world. God spoke and the anti Christ, but maybe He knew there could be 2. Like Job, if DeSantis can’t become a decent, honest, and caring about his Florida people, he too will loose all his love ones to something. His wife already has cancer. And she and his daughters don’t deserve to be afflicted from his evil behaviors on others. He makes bad choices for his own selfishness and greed. That Sherriff is a prime example.
A hateful person is an unhappy person.
May gid grant you peace in your life.
