Senator Rick Scott attended the graduation of Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) Law Enforcement Class 23-06 today, expressing his support for law enforcement. Senator Scott was recognized as an Honorary Deputy by Sheriff Chad Chronister.

"I’m always proud to join our state’s brave law enforcement officers and thank them for their incredible work to keep our families safe. Every day, our sheriffs, their deputies and all law enforcement officers in Florida are placed in dangerous situations to keep us safe. The current crisis on our southern border is making that job even harder as the Biden administration allows drugs, criminals and terrorists to pour into our country. We must end this crisis by securing the border and stopping the deadly drugs and crime that endanger Florida families and put law enforcement at risk. It was an honor to be sworn in as an Honorary Deputy today by Sheriff Chronister, congratulate these new deputies and reiterate to the entire HSCO team that I am their partner in Washington. I will never stop fighting to support Florida’s law enforcement officers and working alongside them to keep Florida safe."
