When the Miami-Dade sheriff is finally elected, will he run:

[Unregistered]

• Only the jail?
  .
• Only court services (bailiffs)?
  .
• Only law enforcement operations?
  .
• Operate all of the above?

For example, in Orange County, the elected sheriff only runs law enforcement operations, while the jail is run by a director who is appointed by the county.

In Duval County (Jacksonville), the elected sheriff operates:
- the Jacksonville municipal police department (they have their own municipal retirement system, apart from the FRS)
- the county jail
- and court services.
The Jacksonville Beach PD still has it's own chief and is not run by the Duval county sheriff's office.

How will the mess operate in Miami-Dade County?

Nobody knows... yet...

Instead of asking stupid questions, why don't you read the Florida Statutes that delineate the duties and responsibilities of the sheriff in his county.

Another Affirmative Action hire that can't do research.

We have tried to enlighten dolts that populate this forum; sadly our recommendation felt of deaf ears. Hopefully, your stern suggestion might do the job -- we hope! Again, this is the Florida State Statute, Chapter that governs Sheriffs:

Smh, both of you are dumb azzes that deserve to be humbled:

To the first poster, since you insist on humiliating the OP and using coded racial language to make a point, you should know the term "Affirmative Action" is not a proper noun, so there is no need to capitalize the words.

To the second poster, the colloquialism you wanted use is "fell on deaf ears", not "felt of deaf ears".

Both of you need to go back to grade school English classes.

Thank you for correcting my typographical error. I will be matriculating in grade school tomorrow. Still, that mistake does not change the fact that advice to read Chapter 30 -- Sheriffs FELL on deaf ears. On a personal note, it must be great to be you, so erudite and omniscient! Run for Sheriff, with your natural intellect, you should should win; hands down!

This is the Florida State Statute, Chapter that governs Sheriffs:

http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/...3EChapter%2030

FSS 30.15 appears to cover the statutory duties of a Florida sheriff:
http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/...s/0030.15.html

FSS 30.15 specifies that a Florida sheriff must:

(a) Execute all process of the courts and county commissioners.
(b) Execute writs, processes, warrants and other papers directed to them.
(c) Attend all sessions of the court.
(d) Execute all orders of the county commissioners.
(e) Be conservators of the peace.
(f) Suppress tumults, riots, and unlawful assemblies.
(g) Apprehend any person disturbing the peace.
(h) Have authority to command any person to assist them in the execution of their duties.
(i) Be timber agents.
(j) Perform other duties, as imposed on them by law.
(k) Establish, if the sheriff chooses, a Guardian Program to aid in the prevention of school assailant incidents.

FSS 30.15 says nothing about running a jail or a patrol division, so those directors may remain in their positions, at the discretion of the county commissioners. A sheriff's primary statutory obligation is running the courts, serving papers and obeying the orders of county commissioners. Thus, the Miami-Dade county commissioners only need to fund a sheriff to operate the courts, in conjunction with other minor duties that are listed above i.e. timber agents, etc.

You're welcome and you are right, the OP should read the chapter. But, there are ways to say things without being a bully. I don't like bullies. That is my nature.
