}}Nicholas G. "Nick" Navarro (November 11, 1929 – September 28, 2011) was a Cuban-American businessman. He served as sheriff of Broward County, Florida, from 1985-92. Navarro was born in Jaruco, Cuba, in 1929.[1] He won election for sheriff in 1984. During Navarro's tenure the Broward Sheriff's Office (BSO) approximately doubled to 3,000 personnel and its budget increased from $75 million to $200 million. Contracts were added for the BSO to provide law enforcement services to three Broward cities – Dania Beach, Tamarac and Deerfield Beach.[2]

COPS

In 1989, Navarro allowed Fox Television crews to ride along with BSO deputies for several months, taping the material which would become the inaugural season of the television show COPS.[3] The entire first season of COPS (except for a season finale special filmed in the Soviet Union) took place in Broward County. In subsequent seasons, the show would go on to profile numerous police departments throughout the US and several other countries.

Struggles and controversy

In 1989, Florida Governor Bob Martinez ordered state prosecutors to determine whether Miami-area rappers 2 Live Crew's album As Nasty As They Wanna Be violated Florida obscenity laws.[4] Navarro proceeded to arrest local record store owners[5] for selling the album and members of the rap group after a concert.[6] All arrested parties were eventually acquitted.[7] The judge who heard the case reprimanded the sheriff for "the unconstitutional act of prior restraint" because his detectives warned record owners that they might be arrested if they sold the rap album, even though it had not yet been found legally obscene.[8]

On Banned in the USA, their follow-up album, 2 Live Crew included a song entitled "Fuck Martinez", which also includes multiple repetitions of the phrase "Fuck Navarro". The group found two other men with the same names, and had them sign releases, as they thought that this action would make it impossible for Martinez, or Navarro, to sue them.[9]

Navarro lost the position of sheriff after being defeated in the 1992 Republican primary and was succeeded by Ron Cochran. {{Citation needed|date=October 2011}}

Post elected-office

In 1993, Navarro founded Navarro Security Group Ltd, a private security service company.[10] On September 28, 2011, he died from complications of cancer, aged 81.[11]
