Miami-Dade Sheriff Rosie details how she saved taxpayers $33 MILLION by forgoing new uniforms, a cold plunge and massage tables and NOT getting logos printed all over everything.
This completely shuts down Grady Judd and Greg Tony’s bullshit.
“We are paying the county $54 million a year for IT services. Through closer supervision and careful review of spending, we brought that down to $42 million, a $12 million annual savings without reducing services. And as we work toward managing our own technology independently, we project another $6 to $7 million in annual savings, bringing that cost down to approximately $35 to $36 million.
That's an $18 to $19 million in annual IT savings already achieved or projected. Personnel, eliminating the county's Sargent-at-Arms program will save approximately $4.1 million annually and return those deputies to core law enforcement functions. We have also adjusted patrol schedules to improve coverage and reduce the need for overtime through better scheduling.
Uniforms and vehicles. Keeping our existing brown uniforms, instead of changing to green, avoided approximately $4.8 million in costs. Updating graphics on approximately 1,700 existing white vehicles, instead of repainting them, avoided another $5.7 million.
These two practical decisions alone account for $10.5 million. Our purchasing and operating, buying office supplies directly from the vendor that the county uses, saved us approximately $200,000 annually. Through a state cooperative contract, we are also obtaining fuel incentives and rebates of up to $0.15 per gallon, maintenance discounts of up to 20% from participating providers and discounting on our tire replacements.
Together, the items we have quantified represent approximately $32.8 to $33.8 million in savings and avoided costs, including the changes that we are still processing. Fuel, maintenance, and scheduling efficiencies add further savings beyond that total. And we are only getting started.”

BREAKING:
Bukele announces that El Salvador has launched a military operation in Haiti.
The goal is to free 4 Salvadoran citizens kidnapped by the Haitian gangs. Bukele threatens that El Salvador will eradicate the Haitian gangs if they hurt the kidnapped men:
“I want you, the gang leaders, to understand one thing very clearly… Today's attack is nothing compared to what is coming if we do not get all 4 hostages back alive. Do not take our word for empty threats. We have already finished with the gangs in El Salvador and we can finish you too”

Government censorship is alive and well in Polk County. Sheriff Judd really needs your exorbitant property tax money to feed his out-of-control budget. We have runaway government spending being shamelessly justified by the.”supoirt law-enforcement line”.
The Polk County Commission is scheduled to vote Tuesday morning on a resolution that would completely shut down the public comment sections across all of its official social media platforms to halt the spread of harmful misinformation. fox13news.com/news/polk-coun…

I don't care if every poll says Democrats are winning by a mile. That's what they said about Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris.
Ignore the polls. Go vote.

Please look carefully at this video, which shows what was happening in the moments before a shooting that killed 18-year-old Jordan Lecky. Parents, especially of teens in northeast Orange County or Seminole County, please watch this carefully with your teenagers to see if they can identify anyone in the video. An 18-year-old is dead, and dozens of people were right there when it happened. Someone saw something. We need people to come forward to help us find the person who pulled the trigger.
Just after 11 p.m. on October 17, deputies responded to the Lakeside Villas apartments at 7950 Shoals Dr. for a noise complaint about a group of nearly 100 people, mostly in their late teens, who had congregated near the pool area behind the leasing office.
As the first responding deputy was approaching, he activated his lights and sirens to disperse the crowd. Several partygoers began to scatter in response – and just as that happened, the responding deputy heard a single gunshot coming from behind the leasing office. That deputy discovered a young man, later identified as Jordan Lecky, unresponsive and suffering from a gunshot wound. He was rushed to the hospital, where he died on October 19. Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones, and our detectives want desperately to solve this case.
Although dozens of people were there when the gunshot rang out, only two witnesses stayed behind to meet with deputies. They told detectives a fight broke out and then a single gunshot went off, striking Jordan.
While reviewing available video of the fight, it became clear to detectives that at least a dozen bystanders were taking video of the fight with their phones. We know someone saw something that could help detectives solve this case, and we need them to come forward.
Anyone with information – no matter how insignificant it may seem – please contact the OCSO non-emergency line at 407-836-4357 or Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS. If you have any video from the fight, or the moments leading up to or after the gunshot, our detectives would like to review it.
