Florida Sheriff Grady Judd: The Man Behind the Badge

Sheriff Grady Judd's efforts go into relationship-building with his community, and these ideas have “never been needed more than today.”

He’s known as “America’s Toughest Sheriff,” but Sheriff Grady Judd of Polk County, Florida, said he’s “tougher on himself” than anyone he has ever arrested.

“I hold myself to a higher standard,” Judd said in a recent interview at the Polk County Jail. “I always said that I never wanted to do anything that would embarrass my Mama, my wife, or my children.”
