A Broward County sheriff's spokeswoman confirmed vehicle wraps featuring a large image of Sheriff Scott Israel, which cost taxpayers $12,500 in total to cover five Ford Focus vehicles, have been removed.
The move came days after a Local 10 News report on the cars in which one of Israel's opponents, retired Broward Sheriff's Office Sgt. Willie Jones, condemned them as a campaign ploy financed by the public.
The wrap was removed because of design and workmanship issues, according to spokeswoman Veda Coleman-Wright. The sheriff refused a request for comment.
***********
Broward Collision was paid $2,500 per car for wrapping the vehicles. Elections office records show that just days before the work had begun Israel accepted $2,000 in campaign contributions tied to Broward Collision, including $1,000 from the business and another $1,000 in the name of a relative of owner Keith Petron.

Where's the 'charity' part ?
OH.... wait... I see it. Toys for Tots. In small letters down on the fender. Most police departments across the nation do a TOYS FOR TOTS program.
Wait, what's this ? Don't see the TOYS FOR TOTS logo on the car. I guess the RED color conflicted with the paint scheme. (or maybe it was painted on with watercolors)
“Betcha he cant even go to a McDonalds without getting hissed and booed.”
Maybe if he struts over to Coral Springs, but where he lives, the residents probably still love him.
Laura had photos of these Israel-wrapped cars on her show last night. This is the kind of thing dictators do, right?
<><>how come Sheriff Israel has the time to play with all these police toys ----
<><> to go on TV and praise himself
<><> to go to mosques to give weapons training to terrorists-in-waiting
<><>to get giant-sized images of himself on police cars.....
<><> to spend a $750 million dollar budget financed by tax dollars,
<><> to campaign for public office
------why did their kids have to die?...................
Right.....and so do the senseless killings of 17 teens fit right in there with the thinking of a self-absorbed despot.

Thanks, but I realize that the correct url is www.sheriff.org, but my point was the url on the vehicle doesn’t work, which it doesn’t.
Yes, wise in his own mind.
Good thing he is in Florida. An endless supply of sharks this guy needs for all the time he spends jumping them!
Someone on the inside at the Sheriff’s office leaked a email/memo to Laura which she showed last night. Nothing was said about the children, cooperating with investigations, etc. The purpose of the memo was to tell all employees to “support” Israel. It probably had an implied “or else” in there.
Yep - egotistic “Amazing Lion” of man - you know it’s true because he says so....
Second input - ironic how he wanted his face on the cars so the public would put that face with who was “protecting” them - but washes his hands of any actual responsibility.....can’t make that sort of crap up unless you’re a Democrat.
Scary.......there’s almost a Nazi-like aura surrounding this whole episode, and Israel’s part in it.
N-i-c-e take........
Israel wants it both ways.......the whole act is contrived to make himself look good.
Unbelievable.
Shady Sheriff
Illegal use of taxpayer money for his election campaign. Arrest the cowardly criminal.
