One tenant weighed in on the Sheriff’s office: “It’s very impressive. Presidential … It makes you look prestigious.”

In 2016, voters passed a sales tax hike of one penny on the dollar, which provided money to renovate the sheriff’s aging headquarters on Gun Club Road.Audrey Wolf, the county’s facilities director, said the $42 million project will tear up most of the building and add a new roof, new exterior walls, and impact resistant doors and windows.

Most of Bradshaw’s 315 workers will move to one of two locations: across the street to surplus space at the South Florida Water Management District or into a space owned by the Oxbridge Academy Foundation at Community Drive and Military Trail just outside of West Palm Beach. The county is paying $21 per square foot to move up to 120 employees into nearly 20,000 square feet at the Water Management District. The cost, which includes utilities and furniture, was deemed “significantly below the market rate” by county staff.

More fun and frivolity in Florida.

Arnt sherriff's like from the 1700s I would usually light a joint wen the local sherriff's dept pulled behind me. Even now if a sherriff put on his lights there's a 50percent chance I wouldn't pull ova.

Sometimes the good guys turn out to be the bad guys IGY6

Laundering money that belongs to society

Some would call this a shameful waste of taxpayers’ money.

Too flash for a sheriff. Is he Sheriff of Nottingham? Who pays him to be their sheriff?

That’s so Republican. Spend it on yourself. Why help others?

Of course this is in Florida...🙄

Oh shit another crazy story about Fl. again.

Oh, so instead of investing the money back into the community (ALL communities for the deplorables to follow & try me ☺️) they used it for added office space, double the price of lower, available floors in the same building? Cool.

A “Sherriff”😳😳👀🤔💀🤷🏾‍♂️✌🏾

Danm that place must be safe as fuck if that’s how it is

Really..... when will this blatant disgusting and possibly illegal activity end?

So instead of putting that money back into the community that he “protects and serves” he opts for posh office space. What a douche.

Florida sheriff forbids employees, visitors to wear masks: If they do, 'they will be asked to leave'Sheriff Billy Woods forbids his employees and those visiting his offices to wear masks in most circumstances. Florida does not have a statewide order. Doing the Lord's work here, Sheriff! That's endangering peoples' health. He is legally liable. If it's unconstitutional to make you wear a mask, isn't it also true that it's unconstitutional to prevent you from wearing a mask if you choose to do so?
