......In an interview with the Herald, Israel said that it cost his agency about $300,000 to respond to the Jan. 6 shooting. Additionally, it will cost BSO about $100,000 a month in overtime to provide more security, he said.
“I will be going to the county asking to finance that bill,” he said.
Broward Mayor Barbara Sharief said in an interview that she had not heard that dollar amount from Israel and said until the county completes an after-action report, it can’t determine whether overtime is needed. That in-depth review could take several weeks, if not months. A 99-page report about the 2013 shooting at the Los Angeles International Airport was released about four and a half months after the shooting.
Many officials expressed caution about reaching any conclusions about long-term security changes or bills that should be filed in Congress until such reviews are completed.
The county pays the Broward Sheriff's Office about $17 million a year to provide security at the airport. The money comes from fees paid by airlines and vendors and covers the cost for 116 full-time employees. Israel and U.S. Senators Bill Nelson and Marco Rubio have sought federal money to help cover the cost of responding to the shooting.....

Before another tax dollar is handed over to this Sheriff, taxpayers need reassurances Israel has not been playing hanky-panky with their hard-earned tax dollars.
In 2013, Sheriff Israel entered a collaborative 'sanctuary' agreement with other county officials and the Broward County school board to not arrest or prosecute juvenile delinquents in order to lower the stats of minorities incarcerated and meet federal quotas by which they received additional federal funding.
Tax dollars received under false pretenses need to be exposed. Taxpayers demand the Sheriff's Office books be audited at once. The Sheriff runs the largest fully accredited sheriff’s office in the country, oversees nearly 6,000 employees, has an annual budget of $730 million tax dollars, and holds enormous political power.
The Bank Secrecy Act should be mobilized----to follow the paper trail and determine how money changed hands among (a) the Sheriff's Office (b) L/E projects, (c) and/or political activities.
Taxpayers demand that the scope and dimension of collusion in sub rosa deals be examined, as to who might be personally profiting and if financing domestic terrorism is being facilitated.
<><> L/E needs to examine bank accounts of the aforementioned.
<><> Joint bank accounts might be used to facilitate the transfer funds from one account to another, and/or wire-transferred offshore;
<><> To cover their tracks, fake invoices might be created to show that money deposited into Sheriff's Office accounts was being used for legitimate purposes.
<><> Financial schemes scheme might be advanced by issuing phony statements of payments from financial sources that actually covered the transfer of funds for insiders' personal use and/or for financing domestic terrorism.
Shady banking transactions could be prosecuted under the (1) Bank Secrecy ACT, (2) RICO, and, (3) the Hobbs Act.
=============================================
<><> L/E should get ahold of: (1) copies of Sheriff's Office checks, (2) wire transfers, (3) account statements, (4) invoices, (5) bills, (6) delivery tickets, (7) SPLC correspondence including snail mail, e-mail, mobile devices, cell phones, (8) contracts, (9) loan agreements, (10) other account books or official records.
L/E should also explore (a) monies paid to brokers, sub- brokers, (b) family members, (c) mortgage brokers, (d) financial managers, and, (e) real estate agents, brokers, and developers.
<><> L/E should scrutinize bank accounts for suspicious activities: (A) large deposits, (B) funds transferred from one account into another, (C) frequent requests for withdrawals.
<><> Sheriff's Office bank records might also show diversions to secret LLC accounts, to money launder and to operate personal ventures;
Tax fraud may also be a factor, facilitated by withdrawals, gift cards purchases, credit card purchases and intra-bank transfers from legal bank accounts into personal accounts, or redistribution schemes.
<><> A huge tip-off is whether withdrawals support luxurious lifestyle including payments for real estate, investment and stock holdings, jewelry, luxury vehicles, resort travel....... and gifts and purchases from luxury outlets.
NOTE: Falsifying official govt documents is the criminal MO to hide larger crimes.

The swamp that is Broward County
