BSO Terminates Deputy Accused of Child Abuse

"For more than two and half years, my administration and I have deliberately focused on establishing a high organizational expectation of professionalism, performance and a firm culture of accountability. In 2020, our Internal Affairs investigators were obligated to toll their investigations due to numerous executive orders issued by the Governor in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. At this time, the Governor’s executive orders are rescinded, and BSO investigators are back to business. Effective Aug. 11, former Deputy Willard Miller is terminated from employment with the Broward Sheriff’s Office for his egregious lack of control, discipline and numerous policy violations. His action and behavior are not reflective of the great work and self-discipline frequently displayed by the overwhelming majority of my deputies. I’ve personally committed to this community that there will be a zero-tolerance policy against such abuse of powers, and my commitment is unwavering." -Sheriff Gregory Tony
