Based upon our current growth (not projected growth), we need 25 Deputies (6 per shift – plus the District Commander) just to maintain our current level of service

OPTIONS TO IMPROVE SERVICES The Sheriff’s Office is proposing a Special Purpose Fee District to provide Enhanced Services to the citizens residing within the Special Fee District (Indian-Land & Pleasant Valley Fire Districts) If approved, this area would be funded to provide 12 additional Deputies 3 Investigators that would be permanently assigned to the Special Fee District that would include Narcotics Investigations as well This would increase manpower to 9 deputies per shift, the District Commander plus 3 Investigators if the five year plan is followed

WHAT WOULD IT MEAN FOR PATROL? Increase visibility which in turn reduces crime Reduced response times Responses to multiple incidents without jeopardizing officer/citizen safety Allow PROACTIVE patrols to prevent and deter crime Increase Officer presence at our schools Increase Officer presence in problem areas Increase traffic safety measures ect.

WHAT WOULD IT MEAN FOR INVESTIGATIONS? 3 Permanently assigned Investigators within the Special fee District Responsible for investigating crimes such as homicide, armed robberies, burglaries, larcenies, fraud, identity thefts and serious assaults Would be responsible for conducting Narcotic and Drug investigations within the Special Fee District Additional Investigators, Crime Scene Units, Crime Scene Analysis and other Specialized Units would still be available
