BSO Deputies Association schedules no-confidence vote in Scott Israel
The Broward Sheriff’s Office Deputies Association announced that it has scheduled a no-confidence vote on Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel.
Union President and BSO Deputy Jeff Bell said the move follows many instances of suspected “malfeasance, misfeasance, failure to maintain fiduciary responsibility by the sheriff, failure to properly investigate possible criminal conduct by members of his senior command staff and the lack of leadership that has crushed morale throughout the agency.”
The vote comes months after many have called for Israel’s resignation in the midst of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School that happened on Feb. 14.
Despite the calls for his resignation, Israel said he will not step down.
This is the first time in Broward County’s history that such a vote has been called for.
