DeSantis activates Florida National Guard to assist corrections officers
Activating guard will help reduce overtime for corrections officers and provide temporary staffing relief.
Gov. Ron DeSantis activated the Florida National Guard in an effort to provide ongoing assistance to the state’s corrections officers.
Activating the guard will help reduce overtime for corrections officers and provide temporary staffing relief as the state continues to fill vacancies. They were activated immediately as of Sept. 9 for a period of nine months or until they are no longer needed.
The action, initiated through executive order, comes after the governor and the legislature authorized record pay increases to recruit and retain corrections officers. These and other incentives have already resulted in the state gaining 640 new officers since the 2022 legislative session ended this spring. It’s a record gain compared to a net loss of more than 465 officers during the same time period in the previous year, the governor’s office says.
The state’s goal is to continue to bring more highly qualified officers to the Florida Department of Corrections. The department’s primary directive is to “protect society by providing incarceration that will support the intentions of established criminal law,” according to Florida statute. It’s responsible for caring for and maintaining custody of more than 80,000 inmates who’ve been convicted of committing crimes.
While the department is authorized to employ more than 20,000 correctional and correctional probation officers, it’s been experiencing a severe shortage of employees, which has resulted in the department temporarily closing 176 inmate dorms and suspending 431 supervised work squads, the governor’s office says.
The “shortage threatens the safety of officers, inmates, and the public,” DeSantis said. The legislature’s incentive package has already begun to attract highly qualified individuals to fill vacancies for the long term; in the short term to provide relief to those in the National Guard will help fill the gaps.
According to the Florida Constitution, guardsmen and women can be used “to preserve the public peace [and] execute the laws of the state.” According to state statute, guardsmen and women can be used to “enhance domestic security” and “respond to any need for emergency aid to civil authorities” and to “provide extraordinary support to law enforcement upon request.”
Members of the Florida National Guard will be tasked with staffing guard towers and patrolling perimeters and control stations, which will enable correctional officers to focus more on supervising and caring for inmates. They won’t be responsible for any direct supervision of inmates “except where such supervision occurs as a normal part of manning control stations or when required in an emergency pertaining to safety and security,” according to the order.
The newly enacted Law Enforcement Recruitment Bonus Program provides one-time bonus payments of up to $5,000 for new Florida law enforcement officers and officers relocating to Florida from out of state.
A new Florida Law Enforcement Academy Scholarship Program also was made available to new recruits. It covers tuition, fees and up to $1,000 of eligible education expenses for trainees in a law enforcement basic recruit training program. Certified officers who relocate to Florida may also receive a reimbursement of up to $1,000 for equivalency training costs.
Among other programs launched in Florida, those in law enforcement may also qualify for the Hometown Heroes housing program, which helps those serving to be able to afford to live in the communities where they serve.

NEW: SEC chairman's role in Steele dossier payments adds to questions about Trump probe conflicts
Questions surfaced last month about the SEC's probe of Trump's Truth Social when RealClearInvestigations journalist Paul Sperry reported that Gensler, as SEC chairman, previously served as the Hillary Clinton campaign's chief financial officer.
In addition, Sperry reported that SEC Associate Director of Enforcement Melissa Hodgman was married to Peter Strzok, the FBI agent who led the much-criticized Russia collusion probe and was fired in 2018 for anti-Trump texts on his official bureau phone.

SEC chairman's role in Steele dossier payments adds to questions about Trump probe conflicts
House Intelligence Committee testimony identified Gary Gensler as having final approval for funding discredited dossier.
Gary Gensler, President Joe Biden's Securities and Exchange Commissioner, had final approval authority for the Hillary Clinton campaign's payments for the discredited Steele dossier, according to congressional testimony that is adding to concerns about conflicts of interest as the SEC investigates Donald Trump's social media firm’s merger request.
Questions surfaced last month about the SEC's probe of Trump's Truth Social when RealClearInvestigations journalist Paul Sperry reported that Gensler, as SEC chairman, previously served as the Hillary Clinton campaign's chief financial officer.
In addition, Sperry reported that SEC Associate Director of Enforcement Melissa Hodgman was married to Peter Strzok, the FBI agent who led the much-criticized Russia collusion probe and was fired in 2018 for anti-Trump texts on his official bureau phone.
The SEC declined comment when Just the News inquired about Sperry's report, the role, if any, that Gensler and Hodgman are playing in the Truth Social investigation or whether the two SEC executives offered to recuse themselves from the inquiry.
In addition to the connections to Trump, Truth Social is run by former House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes, who played a key role in exposing Strzok's conduct during the Russia probe, the Clinton campaign's connections to the Steele dossier, the inaccuracies of the dossier and the FBI's reliance on the former British spy Christopher Steele to obtain FISA warrants targeting the Trump campaign and adviser Carter Page.
In the end, Nunes' probe exposed that the FBI ultimately determined that most of the allegations Steele placed in the dossier and shared with the agents were disproven, uncorroborated or meaningless Internet rumor and that the FBI misled the court about the reliability of the information.
Steele's main Russian source for the dossier, Igor Danchenko, awaits trial this fall on charges he lied to the FBI in connection with the Russia investigation. And the Steele dossier has become a powerful symbol of the FBI's failures in a probe that falsely painted Trump as a conspirator with Russia to hijack the 2016 election.
While Gensler was widely known to be the Clinton campaign's CFO, former Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta personally singled Gensler out for responsibility for funding the dossier.
In testimony before the House Intelligence committee in 2017,Podestasaid Gensler was the top official in the campaign who would have approved payments to the campaign's law firmPerkins Coieto reimburse for the work that the Fusion GPS research firm and Steele did on the dossier.
"You think Gensler would have been the guy that would know that?" a congressman asked Podesta about the payments for the dossier.
"Gensler established the financial controls. Perkins had budgeted expenditures. They were billing against that. And those bills were paid," Podesta explained.

Podesta said as chairman he "never saw Perkins' bill" because "that was being managed by the people who were operational inside the campaign."
"I guess that's where we're trying to get to, to see who those guys were," Rep. Michael Conaway, R-Texas, said, pressing for more specificity.
"Well, at the top was Gary," Podesta answered.
The payments for the dossier also resulted in a significant penalty earlier this year. The Federal Elections Commission levied $113,000 in fines against the Democratic National Committee and Clinton campaign for improperly disguising payments to Perkins Coie as legal expenses when in fact they were opposition research costs for the dossier.
The conciliation agreements found "probable cause to believe" that both the campaign and national party "misreport[ed] the purpose of certain disbursements."

Despite all the controversy and ridicule the Steele dossier received, Podesta testified in 2017 he believed at the time the Clinton's campaign funding of it was legitimate.
"I found it, again, the idea that we were developing, trying to develop, trying to figure out complicated financial arrangements between Trump and entities" in Russia and "trying to find out what Carter Page was up to in Moscow, I think that was all perfectly appropriate," Podesta said.
Kash Patel, the House Intelligence Committee's former chief investigative counsel under Nunes, said the SEC's long delay in approving Truth Social's merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) known as Digital World Acquisition Corp. smacked of politics and further heightened the need for Gensler and Hodgman to publicly acknowledge they won't play a role in the outcome to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest.
"They need to recuse right now, overnight, without doubt," said Patel, an ally of the former president. "We exposed the dirty dossier and the Clinton campaign's funding of it and we got him (Strzok) fired."
Truth Social's parent company, Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG), also issued a statement Thursday urging the SEC to end its delay in approving the merger with Digital World, suggesting politics was involved in the slowdown.
"The SEC has needlessly delayed its review of our proposed merger, causing real and unnecessary financial harm to DWAC investors, roughly 90 percent of whom are small, retail shareholders whom the SEC is chartered to protect," TMTG said. "Despite its standard practice to provide comments within 30 days, the SEC has failed to give meaningful feedback on DWAC's registration statement for a stunning 115 days and counting.
"In the interests of simple fairness, the SEC needs to set aside any improper political considerations and bring its review to a swift conclusion," the company added.
Nunes took to Truth Social to stir even more pressure on the SEC. "No more BS," he posted.
