In the fourth installment of the Oral History of Amendment 10, we discuss the proceeding years since passage of Amendment 10 and the work of some in Miami-Dade County to create a bifurcated system in which there is both a sheriff and a countywide police department. We go in detail covering the steps sheriffs took to combat those efforts to include litigation against Miami-Dade County. Sheriffs ultimately prevailed by passing a state law during the 2023 legislative session that made it clear the sheriff in all counties, including Miami-Dade, had exclusive policing power in the unincorporated areas of the county. We had a lot to unpack in this episode, but in the end the new sheriff of Miami-Dade County will be an elected and independent sheriff, just like the other 66 sheriffs in the great state of Florida.
