SOURCE: BSO Public Standards Committee Recommends Termination of Eight Deputies Involved In Tamarac Triple Homicide Case

3 Replies

The Broward Sheriff’s Office Professional Standards Committee (PSC) recommended the termination of eight deputies for failures surroundinga triple homicide in Tamarac, a trusted BSO source tells REDBROWARD. Last February, Nathan Gingles allegedly murdered Mary Gingles, her father, David Ponzer and Andrew Ferrin. Evidence soon emerged how BSO personnel failed to fully investigate Mary Gingles’ warnings about her estranged husband.

In May, a BSO captain was fired.

In June, seven deputies were placed on leave pending an internal investigation.

According to BSO, the “PSC consists of community members and BSO command staff. The PSC meets monthly to review the investigator’s reports, discuss the facts of the case and make a recommendation on the disposition of the investigation. Complaints may be sustained, not sustained, unfounded, exonerated or deferred for further investigation. When the members of the PSC sustain a complaint against an employee, they also recommend corrective action to the sheriff. Corrective action can range from remedial training to termination. By using the PSC to review serious infractions, the Broward Sheriff’s Office allows community review of internal disciplinary matters.”

According to our source, in this matter, the corrective action is termination.

Will anyone hold Sheriff Gregory Tony accountable? After all, somebody is training all these BSO deputies, right?

Sheriff Gregory Tony Says Media Will Cause Riots In Broward

On Monday, the notoriously thin-skinned Broward Sheriff Gregory Tony appeared to blame the Los Angeles riots on President Donald Trump. In a lengthy Facebook post, Tony wrote, “Before the first act of violence or vandalism, there was a political decision that ignited a wave of public frustration.” According to the Sheriff, “this is not a time for blame, but for leadership rooted in compassion, transparency, and unity.” On Thursday, Broward’s law enforcement leader blamed the media for future riots in Broward.

In a social media video, Sheriff Tony blasted six media outlets for daring to ask him about his recent remarks regarding enforcement of immigration laws.

As REDBROWARD reported on Monday, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier sent a stern message to Broward Sheriff Gregory Tony—enforce immigration laws or get removed from office. This warning came after Tony’s comments last week at a Broward County Commission workshop. Tony declared enforcement of immigration laws was not a priority of the Broward Sheriff’s Office (BSO).

Uthmeier reminded Tony how Florida law requires the sheriff to “use best efforts to support the enforcement of federal immigration laws.” Uthmeier said “best efforts” means Tony must support United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

In a letter to Uthmeier and Governor Ron DeSantis, Tony quickly backed down from his anti-ICE rhetoric.

Apparently, Tony did not like questions from the local media about his back tracking.

An angry Tony blasted the media for attending a law enforcement seminar in Lauderhill. Tony said the seminar was not related to immigration. He said the media asked “what’s my position on ICE reform?”

“I’m ending this game.” Tony said. “The media is part of the problem here in this County.”

The sheriff said the media will “press buttons” and “create feuds.”

“The media doesn’t do a goddamn thing for public safety in this county,” Tony said.

Then, Tony inflamed the issue even more. He said, “the end result will be a riot taking place in Broward County—burning like [Los Angeles].”

Is this is leadership Broward deserves from its Sheriff?

To quote Sheriff Tony, this is “political nonsense.”
