Gregory Scott Tony[2] (born 1978) is an American law enforcement officer and serving since 2019 as the 17th Sheriff of Broward County, Florida.

[11] From 2016 through 2017, Tony worked as Director of Community Development at North American Rescue, a South Carolina company that sold bleeding-control kits and stations.

[11] While running for Governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis made a campaign promise to replace Broward Sheriff Scott Israel.

[12] Press reported that Tony was one of three possibilities for the position, along with former sheriff Al Lamberti and county judge John Fry.

[31] In the November general election, Tony then won against Republican H. Wayne Clark and independent Charles "Chuck" Whatley, with 63% of the vote in the overwhelmingly Democratic county.

[32][33] During the 2020 election campaign, the Florida Bulldog reported that Tony had shot and killed his neighbor when he was 14 years old and living in Philadelphia.

[4][34] Tony was arrested for murder and weapons offenses and initially charged and ordered to stand trial as an adult and held without bail pending a preliminary hearing.

[36] When asked about the shooting, Tony denied he had been arrested, asserting that he simply went to the police station to provide a statement and was allowed to leave with his father.

[46] In January 2022, they released a report that alleged that Tony failed to disclose his arrest for the 1993 killing, his driver license suspension, his LSD use, and a charge against him for passing a bad check.

[47][48][16] FDLE said that Tony could not be charged criminally because the relevant statute of limitations had expired and referred its report to the Florida Ethics Commission for its consideration.

[54] In May 2024, the administrative judge issued an order recommending that Tony receive a written reprimand, be required to complete ethics training, and be put on 18-month probation.
