On Thursday, Oct. 22, 2026, the Miami‑Dade Sheriff’s Office announced that it would terminate the Sergeant‑at‑Arms program, which provides security and transportation for the mayor and county commissioners.
Mayor Daniella Levine Cava responded by sending letters that opposed the termination of the program.
The decision is linked to an ongoing budget dispute between the sheriff’s office and Miami‑Dade County officials, adding another flashpoint to the broader budget battle.
