A state panel found probable cause to revoke Broward Sheriff Gregory Tony’s law enforcement certification, meaning the Sheriff’s ability to make arrests or otherwise act in a law enforcement capacity in Florida remains in jeopardy.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s Criminal Justice Standards & Training Commission, or CJSTC, held a regional hearing at the Valencia College in Orlando and made its finding late Tuesday morning.
The panel considered Tony’s “moral character” after Tony was accused of omitting he was acquitted of a murder in Philadelphia in 1993 when he was 14 years old.
Tony remains a certified law enforcement officer for now. The full panel is scheduled to meet in August in Ponte Vedra Beach to render a final decision.
The documents supporting the panel’s decision Tuesday were not immediately available.
