Lower levels of funding

Down $5.5 million from last year with costly issues yet to be addressed


Operating costs increasing

• Fuel

• The NBA All-Star Game

• Casey Anthony Trial


Business practices are heavily dependent on technology

Although violent crime is down nationwide, criminals have become more aggressive in their attacks on law enforcement officers and Orange County is no exception


Loss in the Sheriff’s Office Family

Deputy First Class Brandon Coates: Killed

in the line of duty


Keeping Deputies Safe

• Enhanced radio communications monitoring in tactical operations

• Deployed new tactical shotguns

• Invested in Tasers

• Improved Training


Staying focused on reducing crime


Summary

• Economic Challenges

• Crime is Down

• Violence Against Law Enforcement Officers is up

• Board of County Commission Support Needed
