Broward Sheriff Gregory Tony

Broward County’s Top Cop continues to act like a petulant teenager with a Friday night social media post attacking his perceived enemies in Deerfield Beach. Sheriff Gregory Tony went on Facebook to blast Deerfield Beach Commissioners for supporting City Manager Rodney Brimlow. Tony said city leaders “doubled down and placed their official support of their City Manager’s lies and false police report.”

It is time for the grownups to intervene.

As sources told REDBROWARD, Tony’s unhinged behavior over the last ten days has caused “complete mayhem” at BSO.

Below is Sheriff Gregory Tony’s complete Facebook screed:

The Deerfield Beach City Mayor and Commissioners have doubled down and placed their official support of their City Manager’s Rodney Brimlow lies and false police report.

This is extremely alarming and troubling. Especially considering they were provided with clear video evidence of what was stated during my roll call briefing. Moreover, FDLE, an independent law enforcement organization has thoroughly examined all the evidence and concluded no threat was ever made against Mr. Brimlow.

There is only one truth in this matter and @cityofdeerfieldbeach intentionally ignores it.

I will not accept being falsely accused of a crime and then being told by other elected officials the lie never happened.

Deerfield Beach residents will be thoroughly and truthfully educated on this issue.

What is it that this Commission is trying to protect by accepting this lie?🤔

“COMPLETE MAYHEM:” Police Union Says It Never Held “No Confidence” Vote In Deerfield Beach vs Broward Sheriff Gregory Tony Battle

2 Replies

Broward Sheriff Gregory Tony (D-Thin Skin) was quick to tout a police union vote of “no confidence”against Deerfield Beach City Manager Rodney Brimlow. On Thursday afternoon, BSO released a statement regarding the vote. “I stand in solidarity with the members of our public safety unions in their recent letter expressing a vote of no confidence in City Manager Rodney Brimlow,” Tony said. “Their collective action reflects deep concerns regarding the handling of critical budget negotiations that directly impact the safety and well-being of Broward Sheriff’s Office personnel and the residents and visitors we serve in Deerfield Beach.” It turns out it was not very collective.

Just hours later, the police union representing BSO personnel including corrections lieutenants said there was never a vote of “ no confidence” by its members.

A statement by the Broward FOP says, “Decisions of this magnitude are never decided by a select few individuals, nor are they influenced by political pressure or directives from agency members.”

“Any public statements or letters implying an official FOP position on this matter do not reflect an authorized vote or decision by our membership. The Fraternal Order of Police will continue to follow our bylaws and democratic processes to ensure that the voice of every member is heard and respected before any official stance is taken,” Broward FOP District Director Andrew LaFramboise said.

Multiple sources claim there in turmoil in numerous police unions over this “no confidence” vote. Most complain that no formal votes were actually cast.

A trusted high-level BSO source told REDBROWARD it is “complete mayhem.”

The vote appears to be Sheriff Tony’s latest move to undermine the authority of the Deerfield Beach city manager.

On Sunday, REDBROWARD broke the news of Tony’s unhinged teleconference with BSO personnel where he attacked Brimlow.

Tony’s performance caused FDLE agents to investigate his diatribe.
