IUPA steps up again.

Thank you IUPA for purchasing 1,400 N95 masks for the Deputies. It’s amazing an agency with a Billion dollar budget can’t buy masks but somehow the Union can. I know it’s only one mask but this is something the agency should provide. Stop posting videos and try to be a leader Greg Tony

You're asking someone with NO leadership skills and who doesn't know how to be a leader to be a leader? Never going to happen! He only thinks of himself and the almighty vote in hopes of winning the election and riding this graveyard train even more. That's not leadership!

This is so sad. The union cares more about the employees that the Sheriff does. The jail just got PPE Kits this weekend. When will the other unions grow a set and actually stand with IUPA? Imagine if Fire Rescue and The jail were just as vocal?

Here is the second letter this week Jeff Bell sent to temporary Greg Tony


Broward Sheriff’s Office Deputies Association

Local I.U.P.A 6020



March 23rd 2020





Sheriff Greg Tony:



Today marks one (1) week since the Union emailed you about concerns that Union members assigned to the Department of Law Enforcement were not being properly equipped with masks, gloves and sanitizer to help combat the Coronavirus. It is unfortunate that the only response to the 1,400 men and women assigned to handle calls for service was to email the Union President that this was not true and “any inaccurate statements relating to the topic of BSO’s failure to provide adequate supplies for its employee’s will result in disciplinary action”.



Despite 392 days without any face to face communication with you about Agency matters, the Union would like to thank you for issuing one (1) 3M N95 facial mask to each Deputy on 3/17/20. Unions are extremely resourceful, and we want to help the Sheriff’s Office in any way possible to combat the Coronavirus pandemic. The Executive Board of the Union reached out to regional vendors and have purchased, at our cost, an additional one thousand four hundred (1,400) 3M-N95 masks which will give every Deputy another mask to supplement the one (1)mask the Agency already provided. The Union will donate these masks to the Sheriff’s Office, if you are willing to accept them, upon arrival which is expected to be 3/27/20. Local businesses such as the Ace Hardware located at 232 E Commercial Blvd in Lauderdale by the Sea donated 5 boxes of the 3M-N95 masks directly to the Lauderdale by the Sea district and No Shenanigans Dive Shop has graciously donated a total of 8 boxes of 3M N95 masks when they learned that each Deputy had only been issued one (1) N95 mask.



The Union has emailed Major Russo in our attempt to immediately donate the 8 boxes of masks to help supplement the shortage of supplies. I have also attached information from the same company that the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office just purchased 4000 PPE kits from. The Union can only hope that this information is making it to someone who is willing to listen to the 5,000 plus Union members of the Broward Sheriff’s Office.





Jeff Bell, President
