Broward Sheriff Gregory Tony won’t talk about predecessor Scott Israel. ‘I’m focused on being a public safety professional.’

“You probably won’t ever hear me say any comment about Scott Israel being fit or unfit,” Tony said. “It is my role, my responsibility, and my personal opinion that as I become a candidate for this position and begin the campaign, that it should be based on my performance and what I am doing as an individual, and that’s the message that should be put out to this community and let them decide what type of sheriff do they want in this office.”
