With BSO, we have specialty crews that can help us with anything, drugs, prostitution, crime of any kind, helicopters, we have a lot of support through BSO,\u201d Pompano Beach Commissioner Darlene Smith said. \u201cWe wouldn\u2019t have that, at least at the beginning, with our own police force.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">City leaders expect to finalize it with a vote on Tuesday evening. The new contract with BSO will cost $71 million next fiscal year. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Smith said it would take about three years to get a new police force going. Commissioners voted unanimously to accept the new contract with a 5% rate increase cap each year, and a 90-day get-out clause for both sides. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Watch the meeting<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-article-body__copyright\">Copyright 2026 by WPLG Local10.com &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" alt=\"Byron Tollefson\" class=\"c-image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/https:\/\/author-service-images-prod-us-east-1.publishing.aws.arc.pub\/wplginc\/b58c08f2-f400-4245-95df-.jpeg\"  width=\"100\" height=\"100\"\/>Byron Tollefson<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-author-bio__author-description\">Byron Tollefson joined Local 10 News as a reporter in July 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Published:\u00a0July 28, 2026 at 5:22 PM Updated:\u00a0July 28, 2026 at 6:06 PM POMPANO BEACH, Fla. \u2014 Pompano Beach&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":355459,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[249,251,250],"class_list":["post-355458","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-lauderdale","tag-fort-lauderdale","tag-fort-lauderdale-headlines","tag-fort-lauderdale-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/355458","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=355458"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/355458\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/355459"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=355458"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=355458"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=355458"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
