Pembroke Park police chief calls out BSO Sheriff Gregory Tony
Pembroke Park Police Chief Daniel DeCourse is accusing Broward Sheriff Gregory Tony of making "false statements" about the town's police force. The accusations come as tensions grow between the sheriff and Deerfield Beach officials over stalled negotiations for police and fire services. Pembroke Park, a small town of about 6,500 people, split from the Broward Sheriff's Office (BSO) in September 2022. "The false statements had to do with people that were fired for misconduct from the Broward County Sheriff'sOffice," DeCourse said. Sheriff Tony had said, "They're begging some for us to come back. We're answering the majority of their calls." "Not true," DeCourse said. The chief said they are fully staffed, responsive and saving money. "At the same token, I know that all these men and women that I have. I have great people," DeCourse added. The dust-up is the latest fallout in what has become a public dispute between the sheriff and the city of Deerfield Beach over a new public safety contract for police and fire services. Tony has blamed the city manager for stalled negotiations. According to the sheriff, he has a meeting with Deerfield Beach's mayor next week. He says that the money problem that Deerfield would have to pay over $7 million; he has a solution to that, that they have alternatives where it would not be quite as much, and also would not have any impact on taxpayers.

Gunfire caught on video in Pompano Beach could have turned deadly, BSO says
Surveillance video shows a barrage of bullets being fired at a home in Pompano Beach last Wednesday and the Broward Sheriff's Office said the shooting "could have turned deadly." BSO spokeswoman Gerdy St. Louis told CBS News Miami the incident happened around 3:30 a.m. on Aug. 6 near Northwest 27th Avenue and 13th Street. "It could have turned deadly," St. Louis said. "These were individuals shooting at a home multiple times. If you watch the video, you will see there is over a dozen rounds fired at the home. Detectives have not released any motive at this time. They hope to receive any information that the public may have." She added, "We are urging anyone with information will come forward so this will not happen to anyone else and so that no one else will be injured by these individuals and they will be captured." According to BSO, a light-colored vehicle is seen driving by the home before reversing. Two subjects get out of the car, open fire and then take off. Christine Smalarz, who said she has lived in the neighborhood for 15 years, described her fear during the incident. "I was really scared. I was really scared," Smalarz said. "I smelled gun smoke and my backyard is right over there, so I came out to see what was happening. I would like to know why this is happening. Not just catch the people, but why is this happening?" Smalarz said the neighborhood has dealt with its share of crime in the past three years. "Every time I hear noises, I think it is gunshots," she said. "And I call the non-emergency line and the police come here. One time I called and 20 officers came here, and it was scary." Neighbor Wayne Barton also expressed concern. "It is upsetting to feel and see someone shooting in this particular manner," Barton said. "It is upsetting to the community. We are hoping some people will call because there are not enough cops in the world to solve this issue." Anyone with information is urged to call Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS (8477).
