A deputies’ union on Thursday announced that 85 percent of its members who voted — 534 out of 628 — cast ballots expressed “no confidence” in Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel's leadership.
“He fails to listen to the people, he fails to listen to the leadership,” said Jeff Bell, president of the Broward Sheriff’s Office Deputies Association. “Amazing leadership starts from the top, and there is no amazing leadership here. We are a ship out at sea with no power — adrift.”
