According to a Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office statement, the office plans to appeal the county’s adopted 2026–27 budget to the Administration Commission. The agency says the budget leaves it $42.037 million below the amount needed for existing obligations and planned hiring. It says the gap could affect deputy recruitment, academy classes and key civilian positions. Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz plans to identify potential county savings during the appeal, with the stated aim of addressing the shortfall without raising taxes or reducing county programs.
