FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. \u2014 The Broward Sheriff\u2019s Office is seeking roughly $937 million for its fiscal year 2027 budget, an increase from its adopted budget of $833 million.<\/p>\n

The request was the focus of a Broward County budget workshop Thursday.<\/p>\n

Sheriff Gregory Tony was absent from the meeting but was watching via livestream.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Sheriff Tony is watching, I think we should pull the plug and drive him crazy,\u201d Broward County Mayor Mark Bogen joked during the workshop.<\/p>\n

Undersheriff Steve Robson addressed commissioners about the department\u2019s need for additional funding.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course the elephant is our unresolved issue, money of this current year rolled into next year\u2019s budget,\u201d Robson said.<\/p>\n

Robson also highlighted deputy starting salaries, saying they are the lowest among Broward law enforcement agencies and that deputies are leaving in large numbers.<\/p>\n

BSO is requesting 50 additional positions, with much of the proposed budget tied to employee costs and staffing.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere\u2019s a pie chart showing within the agency the different categories where the funds flow to. Personnel is 80%,\u201d Robson said.<\/p>\n

The budget discussion comes amid an ongoing dispute between BSO and Deerfield Beach as the city moves toward operating its own police department.<\/p>\n

\u201cOctober is when October 1 takes over, they have their own force. What happens to the 150 officers? So we plan to absorb them through our transition plan that we\u2019ve given to the city, and the city has refuted the plan that we put forward, so we\u2019re kind of in that position right now,\u201d Robson said. \u201cBefore October 1 of \u201927, I plan to absorb all of those officers into the BSO.\u201d<\/p>\n

Commissioners raised concerns about the size of the budget request, including Commissioner Steven Geller.<\/p>\n

\u201cTony asks us for more money than is available,\u201d Geller said.<\/p>\n

Geller said public safety remains a top priority but noted that other county services also require funding.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a top priority, but it is not our only priority,\u201d Geller said.<\/p>\n

\u201cCurrently, out of our general revenue budget, we\u2019re spending approximately 54% on public safety. But there\u2019s a lot of other things we have to pay for,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Mayor Bogen agreed that the request may be difficult to accommodate.<\/p>\n

\u201cBased on our budget constraints right now, it isn\u2019t realistic,\u201d Bogen said.<\/p>\n

The final county budget is scheduled to be approved in September.<\/p>\n

BSO declined a request for an interview with the undersheriff and referred questions to remarks made during the meeting.<\/p>\n
