This week is critical as the FSA hosts the Florida Sheriffs Academy. The Academy is a part of the onboarding process for newly elected sheriffs so that they can jump into their new role fully equipped to ensure public safety does not take a day off. The first day is about a few foundational items -- honoring those heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice and learning about a historic youth program that the sheriffs built 67 years ago, the Florida Sheriffs Youth Ranches.

NEW FSACAST EPISODE ALERT! H In the second installment of The Oral History of Amendment 10, we dive into Florida’s 20-year quirk – the Constitution Revision Commission. What is this powerful commission, and how can it directly place amendments on the ballot for voters? e Join us as we uncover the sheriffs’ strategic efforts to collaborate with this unique body and hear the pivotal story of Martin County Clerk of Court Carolyn Timmann, whose leadership played a key role in securing a 2018 constitutional amendment. This amendment not only protected the elected Office of Sheriff but also brought Florida one step closer to restoring the long-lost Office of Sheriff in Miami-Dade County. https://lnkd.in/ecR2jtAA
