Law enforcement

He worked his way up the ranks, becoming a road patrol deputy, then a road patrol sergeant in the North Broward and Lauderdale Lakes districts. He then became lieutenant and captain in the Organized Crime Division. In January 1990, he assumed the position of district chief in Deerfield Beach. He was promoted to the rank of major in 1998. Lamberti then went on to serve as interim chief of police for the cities of Hollywood and North Lauderdale.

On October 26, 2007 Lamberti was named sheriff of Broward County by Governor Charlie Crist after Sheriff Ken Jenne was indicted on federal corruption charges.

On November 6, 2012, Lamberti was defeated in an election for sheriff by Scott Israel, who became the 18th sheriff of Broward County.
