Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel on not arresting teen criminals: "I have said over and over and over again, we have to measure the success of the Broward Sheriffs office, by the kids we keep out of jail, not the kids we put in jail. We have to take care of our children, we have to give our children second chances and third chance, thats why we have a civil citation program, so children commit misdemeanors, not violent, instead of going to jail we put them in a program, so they get help with narcotics, with anger management, with alcohol, mental health issues, the idea is to keep them out of jail, from never going back
