Editorial
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd is perhaps Florida’s most well-known Sheriff. For some, he’s beloved for his tough-on-crime politics. For others, he’s notorious for the very same reason.
But in 2023’s red Florida, that hardline brand is a winning strategy.
Like last year, Judd narrowly missed the top 25, but insiders in The Process clearly still know Judd is a power broker in his own right. It may just be that Polk County tends to be overlooked when considering its more urban, more populous neighbors in Hillsborough and Pinellas.
Still, though, Judd continues to rack up wins, including an announcement in mid-February that he had arrested more suspects in an undercover human trafficking operation than ever before.
His “Operation Traffic Stop” led to 213 arrests of individuals accused of soliciting or offering to commit prostitution, as well as those who profited from prostitution.
Butt Judd refuses to talk about the real issues in Animal services, why?
