Polk County is the only County in Florida that's got its poopy's together. I think the rest of the sheriff's need to start looking at Sheriff Grady from Polk County. Look how he gets things done he's actually got people working together. Isn't that amazing

Fired everyone in that department.. Ignoring 911 calls and pickin up and hang up is unacceptable

[sirspeedsalot]

When seconds count, cops are hours away if they come at all - stay armed stay trained stay safe .

[buttholasaurus]

Bullsheeet, they still collect the tax dollars that cover those jobs....stop paying when you get no service

[Patrick-yhyd]

This is true story. I called the non emergency number and they told me to only call if I had an emergency.

[geonandez]

911 calls unanswered? WTF! Are you serious? People need to be fired! Period! Unacceptable!

[Lp-bmtc]

This is embarrassing. I know I wouldn't do that job either. They're not getting paid enough for all the crime that's going on there.

[markgeorges]

It’s so many police forces in broward that’s why

The new hotel at the convention center is priority, not dispatchers 🤷🏽‍♀️

[silviatrevino]

I'm sure his recieving his raises 😉

[natbfunky]

Give some of those prisoner's jobs to earn some early release - why are they just sitting around everyday doing nothing 😅

[ckarlgo]

Never once did the sheriff address his failure to be a competent leader. But he did have one of his spokespeople blame the people calling 911 for the problem.

That tells you all that you need to know about what the real problem in Broward is.

[iamme]

He literally said I ain't paying y'all. 🤦‍♀

[arthurbrumagem]

Unfortunately you can’t always throw money at the issue. I feel for the sheriff. 7 unions? Maybe I’m seeing the problem

[yardandabroad]

NOT only not answering but they also ask you what you want them to do when a crime is happening like they don't know how to do the job 😑😑😑 & how about HIGHER PAY and have a mix of people not everyone you people hire that you say are QUALIFIED are actually qualified

[wandabellamy]

Stressful job, pay the people more money

[missesmia]

Wouldn't fly in Polk County... or Volusia... Flagler, St Johns, Lake... literally any other county other than Dade

[djromaxtions]

its funny how people that are sittin in power that is not responsible for that particual problem they dont even suggest how to fix the issue he black so he gotta fix it but the point dexter behind the glass aint doin jack but talkin down to him

[rudyvalentin]

There's a saying TALK IS CHEAP. MONEY BUYS LAND. Translation, PAY the people!

[ROYAL]

Are they hiring, lol. Don’t pay enough but someone may want it! They know they’re passing the buck. I couldn’t do that job
