Broward Commissioners Voice Concerns Over Proposed $937 Million Sheriff’s Office Budget
Broward County commissioners have raised concerns about the Broward Sheriff’s Office’s (BSO) proposed budget for fiscal year 2027, which totals $937 million. This figure represents an increase from the current budget of $833 million.
The proposed budget increase is primarily attributed to rising personnel costs and the necessity to hire additional staff. A significant factor mentioned is the absorption of deputies from Deerfield Beach, a city currently forming its own police department.
Commissioners cited existing budget constraints and the need to allocate funds to other essential county services as reasons for their apprehension regarding the BSO’s expanded budget request.
