One screenshot, one repost, one click can have serious consequences.

Cyberbullying isn’t just about hurtful comments, it can also involve sharing private or explicit images of minors, which is a crime and carries serious legal consequences.

The Broward Sheriff’s Office reminds teens: Don’t share it. If someone sends you an explicit image of a minor, stop the spread and seek help from a trusted adult.

What you send matters. What you share matters. Make the right choice.

Nearly 20 years after Leon Heron was murdered in Lauderdale Lakes, the BSO Cold Case Homicide Unit has helped bring answers to a case that has weighed heavily on his family for decades.

Through persistence, investigative work and critical evidence, detectives identified two suspects who are now charged in connection with Heron’s 2007 killing.

Behind every cold case is a life taken and a family left searching for answers. We remain committed to pursuing justice and holding those responsible accountable, no matter how much time has passed.

Our commitment never fades and justice has no expiration date.

Following an airboat crash in a remote area of the western Everglades, Broward Sheriff’s Office law enforcement and fire rescue personnel worked together to locate and rescue an injured man.

The response began with BSO dispatchers at Broward County Regional Communications answering the 911 call and immediately sending help. Deputies from BSO’s Weston District, Marine Patrol Unit and Aviation Unit responded, while Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue deployed Air Rescue 85 (AR85) and a fire rescue airboat.

Despite the remote location and challenging terrain, BSO Aviation located the crash site and guided fire rescue crews to the scene. Relying on their specialized training, Air Rescue and airboat crews navigated the swampy conditions to reach the injured man, provide lifesaving care and hoist him into AR85 for transport to a trauma hospital.

According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, the injured man is expected to make a full recovery. Tragically, another man and a dog lost their lives in the crash.

This rescue highlights the training, readiness and seamless coordination between BSO’s law enforcement and fire rescue personnel, working together when lives are on the line.

Lithium-ion batteries power many of the devices we use every day, from phones and e-bikes to scooters and electric vehicles.

But when damaged, overheated or improperly charged, these batteries can ignite and create dangerous fires.

During Fire Safety Prevention Week, BSO Fire Rescue and Emergency Services reminds you to charge smart and stay
alert.

Always use manufacturer-approved chargers, never use damaged or swollen batteries, and avoid charging devices near exits or while you sleep.
