DFB/BSO PUBLIC SAFETY updated, expanded cost considerations

In the case of Deerfield Beach, the city manager and public safety director are rolling all

this forward at breakneck speed and the City Commissioners voted to cancel BSO and

move forward with creation of municipal police and fire safety departments without having

been presented any cost estimates, no cost justification (let alone a decent analysis) .

Pompano seems to be more thoughtful and methodical in their evaluation and I’m hopeful

that this could be a wake-up call for Deerfield Beach to be transparent in regard to the true cost and impact before the point of no return.
