Broward County Sheriff Gregory Tony in September 2025.<\/p>\n

Miami Herald File<\/p>\n

Broward County commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday to pursue any necessary legal action to access the Broward Sheriff\u2019s Office headquarters.<\/p>\n

This comes after Mayor Mark Bogen and other county commissioners attempted to enter the headquarters Monday, but say they were blocked.<\/p>\n

Bogen said they were trying to tour BSO\u2019s training facility, which a county auditor said cost more than expected.<\/p>\n

\u201c We have a sheriff who refuses to disclose things, fights our requests, locks his doors, hides in his office,\u201d said Bogen at the emergency comission meeting on Tuesdsy. \u201cEverything stops if they just open their books and say, \u2018Here\u2019s what we\u2019re spending our money on.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The county and sheriff\u2019s office have been in an ongoing budget battle that has resulted in stalled negotiations. Broward Sheriff Gregory Tony argues BSO needs more funding for salary raises.<\/p>\n

In response to Tuesday\u2019s commission vote, Tony in a social media post called it a \u201cfoolish decision\u201d that will cost hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn attack on the Sheriff\u2019s constitutional powers and authority will prompt a unified response from all 67 sheriffs,\u201d said Tony in a video shared<\/a> on Facebook.<\/p>\n
