Budget MessageApril 25, <strong>2013</strong>The Honorable Melony M. BellChair, <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> Board of <strong>County</strong> Commissioners<strong>County</strong> Administration BuildingBartow, FL 33830RE: <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> Sheriff’s <strong>Office</strong> <strong>2013</strong>-14 <strong>Strategic</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> & Program BudgetDear Chairman Bell:During these difficult economic times, it is my responsibility as <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong>’s chief lawenforcement officer to balance local government’s highest priority—to provide public safetyservices—with the reality of fewer resources. During these tough years when our economy has beenin and near recession, we have reduced the size of our agency, closed programs, combined services,contracted for services, altered processes, and increased the use of volunteers.At the same time, however, our demand for service is higher—law enforcement call activity is up by26% over the last three years. An increase in population without an increase in allocation hasresulted in a lower deputy-per-thousand ratio – decreasing the ratio to 2006 levels. We are doingmore with fewer resources. Because of budget constraints and the knowledge of the county’s budgetshortfall, we are forced to cut 17 deputy sheriff positions from our FY13-14 request.We continue to face significant funding and personnel challenges. A grant that funds ourCommunity Sheriff’s Service <strong>Office</strong>r (SSO) program, which has funded 23 civilian positions, isexpiring. Anticipating the expiration of the SSO grant, we began planning in 2012 to recruit andtrain volunteers to work as civilian Sheriff’s Service <strong>Office</strong>rs. Our first group of 20 volunteer SSOstook their Oath of <strong>Office</strong> on April 10 th . They are being deployed into the field now and will helpwith the workload, but we are still losing significant patrol hours and experience.Because of increased bookings and increased inmate population at the county jail, we have beenforced to open a housing unit to hold the additional inmates, which requires 12 new positions. Wehave included only 8 new detention deputy positions in the <strong>2013</strong>-14 budget because we were able tofund 4 positions with existing resources through an internal reorganization. Several years ago, weclosed a dorm and cut staffing because inmate population declined, but that trend reverseddramatically in 2012. Our bookings increased by almost 1,000 inmates, and the subsequent dailyinmate population increased by 300 inmates. We are also seeing more hospital watches due to asicker jail population. Already in <strong>2013</strong>, we have seen a 40% spike in the number of hospitalwatches. The number of inmate transports has increased because of the increase in bookings andoverall inmate population.

<strong>Strategic</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>PurposeA strategic plan with tangible goals, objectives, and quantifiable measurements steers our pathin making the agency’s vision a reality. The successful implementation of the plan also requiresa solid community foundation, with support from the stakeholders of the community, includingagency members and community partners and leaders. Although some law enforcementagencies construct a strategic plan that may encompass the next two to five years, the <strong>Polk</strong><strong>County</strong> Sheriff’s <strong>Office</strong> acknowledges that factors and variables, whether internal or external,can change throughout the year and can impact the progress and direction of the agency. In orderto stay ahead of such events and changes, PCSO develops annual goals and objectives, as wellas discusses the trends and important topics that the agency is facing. The purpose of the <strong>Polk</strong><strong>County</strong> Sheriff’s <strong>Office</strong> <strong>Strategic</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> <strong>2013</strong>-<strong>2014</strong> is to:Establish the goals and objectives for the agency, as well as identify how these goals will beaccomplished;Determine those factors, both internal and external, that may affect the outcome of theagency’s goals;<strong>Plan</strong> for the short-term and long-term success of the agency; andInform the citizens of <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> about the quality and level of service they deserve andcan expect.“Our goals can only bereached through a vehicleof a plan, in which we mustfervently believe, and uponwhich we must vigorouslyact. There is no other routeto success.”- Stephen A. BrennanSenior Staff Retreat, 201214


<strong>Strategic</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>StakeholdersSenior Staff Retreat, 2012Executive & Senior Staff: The agency’s Executive and Senior Staff provide the leadership,guidance, and direction to ensure the strategic plan is formulated and implemented. In addition,the Executive and Senior Staff provide clear and consistent communication of and adherence tothe agency’s vision, mission, values, and performance expectations.Agency Members: The involvement of sworn, certified, and civilian members at all levels withinthe Sheriff’s <strong>Office</strong> is paramount to the success of the strategic plan. Agency members providedirection through SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analyses andfeedback within the various departments. Agency members are responsible for implementingthe plan on a daily basis.Community Partners & Leaders: Development and implementation of the plan is dependentupon participation with other government entities and organizations, including the <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong>Board of <strong>County</strong> Commissioners, <strong>Polk</strong> Vision, and various Chamber of Commerce groups.Additionally, the agency partners with community leaders across the county through othermeans, including the Sheriff’s Advisory Council, Sheriff’s Leadership Council, and the Citizen’sAssisted Patrol (CAP) Program.As our community continues to grow, it is important that all stakeholders remain actively involvedin developing future goals and objectives for the foundation of the <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> Sheriff’s <strong>Office</strong><strong>Strategic</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>. United as one team, we will be prepared to exceed the community’s expectationsof providing superior, cost-effective law enforcement and detention services.“The <strong>Strategic</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>ning Process encompasses broad policy and directionsetting, internal and external assessments, attention to key stakeholders,the identification of key issues, development of strategies to deal with eachissue, decision making, action, and continuous monitoring of results.”- J. Bryson15


<strong>Strategic</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>ning ProcessThe following explains the various steps the <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> Sheriff’s <strong>Office</strong> takes in our <strong>Strategic</strong><strong>Plan</strong>ning Process.Step 1: SWOTThe strategic planning process begins with SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats)analyses and meetings that are conducted biannually throughout the various departments. SWOT analysesallow the agency to review the issues that the agency is currently facing and the strengths and opportunitiesthat can further enhance the agency in accomplishing its mission and goals. This information is gatheredand is an instrumental tool in the development of the agency’s goals and objectives, as well as the overallstrategic plan.Step 2: Mid-Year ReviewIn July, the <strong>Strategic</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>ning Unit reviews the progress made toward the current agency goals andobjectives. This mid-year review is compiled into one document and distributed among Senior Staff fortheir review and discussion amongst the various departments. The mid-year review analysis providesagency staff with a better understanding of the implementation and evaluation of the agency’s goals andobjectives, thus far.Step 3: AssessAside from the mid-year review, the <strong>Strategic</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>ning Unit gathers information throughout the year toassess past strategic plans and the direction of the agency. This information is compiled, along with themid-year review and the various SWOT analyses, to assist in the Senior Staff Retreat.Step 4: RetreatA retreat is held every fall in which members of Senior Staff (captains and civilian equivalents and above)are required to attend. The retreat is coordinated and moderated through the <strong>Office</strong> of ProfessionalCompliance. The objectives of the retreat are to discuss pertinent issues that are affecting the agency, aswell as develop preliminary agency goals and objectives. For the 2012 retreat, activities and discussionstook place which allowed the staff to not only become better familiar with the agency’s strategic plan butalso to discuss the future of the agency. This year’s theme focused on leadership in challenging times andovercoming obstacles. In addition, participants participated in a budget exercise and worked to devisestrategies to do more with less resources.Step 5: DevelopBased on the information obtained from the Senior Staff Retreat, the agency goals and objectives aredeveloped and submitted to Executive Staff for their review and approval. Ownership is assigned for eachgoal in order to ensure that progress will be made in attaining all goals and objectives.Step 6: ReviewOnce the agency goals and objectives and the strategic plan are developed, the document is providedto Executive Staff for their review and approval. Comments, suggestions, and additional feedback arepresented and further discussion occurs to determine the best direction for the agency.16


<strong>Strategic</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>ning ProcessStep 7: Final <strong>Plan</strong>Once the agency goals and objectives, as well as the strategic plan itself, have been reviewed andapproved, the final plan is released for publication. The Board of <strong>County</strong> Commissioners receives theyearly PCSO <strong>Strategic</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>, which includes the agency’s goals and objectives, the previous year’s goalsand objectives, and the proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year. This information is provided tothe Board of <strong>County</strong> Commissioners by May 1 st . The <strong>Strategic</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> and Budget can be accessed by thepublic via the Sheriff’s <strong>Office</strong> website and agency members can also access these through the agency’sIntranet site, Signal 14.Step 8: ImplementImplementation is a crucial step in the planning process. In order for the agency to truly progress, thestrategies devised to achieve the goals and objectives must be employed. For the <strong>2013</strong> agency goals andobjectives, the <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> Sheriff’s <strong>Office</strong> has instituted an ownership/accountability section to ensurethe appropriate members are taking the necessary actions to succeed in our goals.Step 9: MonitorAs the planning process continues throughout the year and the agency develops yearly goals and objectives,a key component of the planning process is the monitoring of the agency goals and objectives that havebeen finalized and implemented. The status of these goals is discussed at pre-determined Senior Staffmeetings.Step 10: UpdateAs noted previously, the <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> Sheriff’s <strong>Office</strong> creates a yearly strategic plan to develop goals andstrategies in relation to issues that have emerged over the past year. While some of the topics may remainthe same, new areas of focus and/or concern may take shape and become a priority for the agency, itsmembers, and the citizens and communities they serve.A strategic planwith tangiblegoals, objectives,and quantifiablemeasurement steersour path in making theagency’s vision a reality.17


PCSO Challenges & OpportunitiesIn order to fulfill its mission and provide the citizens of <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> with the best possible service,PCSO must overcome weaknesses and threats and take advantage of strengths and opportunities thatarise from factors in both its internal and external environment. In conducting the SWOT analysisdisplayed below, which is based on information obtained through agency SWOT meetings, threeprominent themes emerged. These themes have been used to create the <strong>2013</strong> agency goals andobjectives that will be discussed and presented later in the strategic plan. The three themes include:Public Safety, Professional Service, and Limited Resources.PCSO has devised a number of strategies to address these themes throughout the year. If successful,these strategies will allow PCSO to prosper in, not simply react to, the external and internalenvironment in which it exists. The following pages will highlight the methods and tactics thatPCSO will employ to address public safety, professional service, and limited resources.In addition to the aforementioned themes facing the agency, the following pages in the PCSO <strong>Strategic</strong><strong>Plan</strong> will highlight demographic information, trends, department goals, provide an evaluation of theagency’s 2012 goals and objectives, and conclude with the agency’s goals and objectives for <strong>2013</strong>.StrengthsTeamworkLeadershipCommunicationTraining & EducationEquipment & TechnologyBenefitsJob SecurityTake Home VehiclesHiring Standards and ProcessPROCAPTransfer and Promotional OpportunitiesOpportunitiesEducation and Training OpportunitiesProfessional CertificationsDiversity of Hiring PoolGrantsCommunity RelationsMulti-agency TeamworkINTERNALEXTERNALWeaknessesBudget and the EconomyStagnant Pay ScalesLoss of Experienced Members to RetirementLoss of Experienced Members to Other AgenciesHigh TurnoverPersonnel ShortagesLimited Overtime FundsAging VehiclesConsistencyLoss of GrantsMoraleSuccession <strong>Plan</strong>ThreatsBudget and the EconomyFuel CostsFlorida Retirement System IssuesVacancies/Personnel ShortagesRetirementsAgency Pay Compared to Other AgenciesIncrease in Crime Due to Economic FactorsLoss of Grant FundingUnfunded MandatesIncreased PopulationIncreased Inmate PopulationCivil Lawsuits18


Public Safety & Strategies1. Public SafetyPublic safety for the citizens of <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> is the number one priority of the <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong>Sheriff’s <strong>Office</strong>. As times have changed, so too have the methods in which criminal activities areconducted. Through training, research, and education, the <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> Sheriff’s <strong>Office</strong> looks toutilize advanced technologies and innovative measures to hinder such criminal activity. In 2012,total violent crime for the Sheriff’s primary service area decreased approximately 11.5% from2011, and total non-violent crime for the Sheriff’s primary service area decreased an estimated7.6% from 2011. Below are several strategies that the agency has implemented to ensure thesafety of the citizens of <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong>. Further strategies regarding crime and public safety for<strong>2013</strong> are listed in the agency’s goals and objectives.Community OutreachThe <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> Sheriff’s <strong>Office</strong> has an established recordof building and maintaining partnerships to improve ourquality of life in <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong>. Maintaining our investmentin collaborative partnerships (local, state, regional, andfederal) is a key element in providing quality services. Webelieve that implementing a systems approach between theSheriff’s <strong>Office</strong>, the Board of <strong>County</strong> Commissioners, otheragencies, and the community will allow us to plan for theneeds of our growing county in a manner that is proactive,rational, efficient, and comprehensive. Such an approachwill yield greater benefits at lower costs. Examples of ourcollaborative partnerships include:* Working with the Board of <strong>County</strong> Commissioners topreserve and enhance our ability to provide a high level ofservice to the citizens of <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong>;* Partnering with public safety agencies in times ofemergency, whether routine or catastrophic;* Participating in regional organizations, such as the Tampa Bay Regional Domestic SecurityTask Force, and;* Providing assistance, when requested through mutual aid agreements, to our neighboringcounties and cities.19


Public Safety & StrategiesCommunity outreach, through the use of various media outlets, as well as through numerouscommunity programs, has the greatest potential to reduce and prevent crime. The agency usesa variety of mediums to support our Proactive Community Attack on Problems (PROCAP)philosophy. These include, but are not limited to the following:Media Outreach:2012 Media Stats at a Glance* Interactive Media: The agency’s cyber substation- www.polksheriff.org - provides links to crimeprevention tips, breaking news, and other importantitems of community interest. The cyber “news room”is updated with the latest breaking news informationand monthly newsletters that can be read on-line.The agency also maintains Facebook, Twitter, andYoutube accounts.* Print Media: Crime Stoppers bulletins, newsreleases, and crime prevention/safety brochuresare distributed on a regular basis to enhance publicawareness and safety.* Broadcast Media: <strong>Polk</strong> Government TV is used tobroadcast public service announcements and crimeprevention messages. Public service programmingis also aired on local radio stations and Bright HouseCable.* Sheriff’s News Network: an electronicinformation display network that relays generalagency information and crime prevention messagesto agency customers via video monitors installed inpublic access areas in PCSO facilities.Crime Prevention / Neighborhood WatchFacebookStoriesPostedFacebookUsersReachedTwitterTweetsPostedTwitterFollowersNewsReleases SentOutCrimeStopperBulletinsSent Out5754,361,7001,6252,788530205The <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> Sheriff’s <strong>Office</strong> works to create an atmosphere of mutual cooperation andtrust where citizens and agency members work together to prevent crime. Neighborhood Watchgroups throughout the county work hand in hand with crime prevention specialists and deputies byserving as the “eyes and ears” for law enforcement. Neighborhood Watch consists of communityvolunteers, who, through special training learn how to detect criminal activity and ultimatelyreport their observations to law enforcement for further action.20


Public Safety & StrategiesPublic Safety PartnershipsIn many parts of the nation, it is not uncommonfor a municipality to contract with a sheriff’soffice for law enforcement services. This canbecome especially important if a municipality isfacing an uncertain financial future, yet desires toretain or improve professional, cost-effective lawenforcement services within its jurisdiction. Thetransition of policing services from a municipalityto a sheriff’s office can provide a municipalitythe financial benefit of economies of scale.The <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> Sheriff’s <strong>Office</strong> (PCSO) workshard to maintain a highly productive relationshipwith each municipality and police departmentto provide law enforcement services to thecitizens of <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong>. PCSO has enteredinto contracts with six cities within the countyto provide law enforcement services, as well asfour cities within the county to provide policedispatching services. Citing a savings to thecities and providing municipal police services,while keeping the hometown touch of thepolice agency, was paramount in providing thecontracts. These contracts allow the cities toreceive the full resources of the Sheriff’s <strong>Office</strong>,such as Crime Prevention, Crime Scene, SpecialInvestigations, Criminal Investigations, SpecialWeapons And Tactics Team (SWAT), as wellas various specialty units, including the CrimeSuppression Teams, Aviation Unit, Canine Unit,Marine/Environmental Unit, etc.PCSO works closely with each of thesecommunities to provide a level of service thatreflects their individual needs. The citizens receivethe highest quality law enforcement services ata cost significantly lower than maintaining theirown police department. PCSO currently providescontract law enforcement services for Frostproof,<strong>Polk</strong> City, Eagle Lake, Fort Meade, Dundee, andMulberry and dispatching services for the citiesof Davenport, Lake Wales, Auburndale, andWinter Haven.In addition, PCSO administers dispatchingservices for <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> Fire Services (exceptLakeland, Lake Alfred, and Bartow) and <strong>Polk</strong><strong>County</strong> Emergency Medical Services.In September 2006, Frostproof City Councilmembers approved to contract with PCSOfor law enforcement services. The transitionwas effective January 1, 2007, with a sergeant,one school resource officer, six deputies, andone administrative assistant providing lawenforcement services to this community ofapproximately 3,000.<strong>Polk</strong> City, with an estimated 1,600 residents,disbanded its police department in the early1990’s. Subsequently, the city hired off-dutydeputy sheriffs to patrol within the city limits. Inthe latter part of 2006, the city sought to enhancelaw enforcement services but wanted to avoid thestart-up costs associated with establishing its ownpolice department. Effective March 1, 2007, <strong>Polk</strong>21


Public Safety & StrategiesCity entered into a contract with PCSO for lawenforcement services that provided a sergeantand five deputy sheriffs. Since then, the contracthas been modified to provide the city with onesergeant.Effective August 1, 2007, PCSO began providinglaw enforcement services to the city of EagleLake. Assigned to the area of approximately2,300 residents are one sergeant and five deputysheriffs.With a population of almost 5,600 residents,the city of Fort Meade contracted with PCSO toprovide law enforcement services. The contract,which went into effect January 1, 2008, providesthe city with one sergeant, one school resourceofficer, nine deputies, and one secretary.The Town of Dundee, with an estimatedpopulation of 3,800 residents, contracted withPCSO on October 1, 2008. The city is providedwith one sergeant, two school resource officers,one detective, six deputies, and one secretary.On November 30, 2009, the city of Mulberry,with an estimated 3,800 residents, contractedwith PCSO to provide law enforcement services.The city is provided with a sergeant, two schoolresource officers, eight deputy sheriffs, and onesecretary.Four cities have contracted with PCSO toprovide police dispatching services. The city ofDavenport, with an estimated 3,000 residents,contracted for services effective September 15,2007, while the city of Lake Wales, with anapproximate population of 14,300, contracted forservices effective October 29, 2007. Two cities,Winter Haven and Auburndale, contracted withPCSO on October 1, 2008, and have a combinedestimated population of 48,200.In August 2010, the construction of the EmergencyCommunications Center was completed and themerger of <strong>County</strong> Fire/EMS/9-1-1 was completed.As stated previously, PCSO began dispatchingservices for <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> Fire Services (exceptLakeland, Lake Alfred, and Bartow) and <strong>Polk</strong><strong>County</strong> Medical Services. Approximately 140members are assigned to the ECC, which islocated off Winter Lake Road in Winter Haven,adjacent to the Sheriff’s Operation Center.22


Professional Service & Strategies2. Professional ServiceThe <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> Sheriff’s <strong>Office</strong> strives to provide professional service to the citizens of <strong>Polk</strong><strong>County</strong>. In addition to the strategieslisted below, the <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> Sheriff’s<strong>Office</strong> organizes yearly customer servicetraining that is mandatory for all full-timemembers. The agency also conductsrandom monthly telephone surveys toindividuals who have contacted PCSOfor service. In 2012, approximately97% of those individuals who contactedthe Sheriff’s <strong>Office</strong> and who agreed toparticipate in a random survey weresatisfied with the service they received.The following are just two of thestrategies that the <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> Sheriff’s<strong>Office</strong> employs on a continual basis toensure professional service.Sheriff’s Advisory CouncilUpon taking office in 2005, Sheriff Judd created a Sheriff’s Advisory Council, made up ofapproximately 20 community members who serve a one-year term. Each year, a new council isselected via an application process. Currently, a total of 144 community members are AlumniCouncil members. The Council is intended to reflect the composition of our community.Members have included business owners, realtors, laborers, attorneys, homemakers, educators,NAACP representatives, and retired professionals. The purpose of the Sheriff’s AdvisoryCouncil is to provide feedback to the Sheriff regarding matters affecting the functions ofthe Sheriff’s <strong>Office</strong>, which are presented to the council during quarterly meetings. Throughexposure to the many and diverse facets of the agency, council members receive insight andgain a greater understanding of the vital roles and responsibilities of the Sheriff’s <strong>Office</strong>.They are encouraged to provide objective feedback regarding the community’s priorities andsupport. While council members gain insight into our agency as a result of their involvement,PCSO benefits to an even greater degree because of their priceless feedback and input.23


Professional Service & StrategiesAccreditationThe <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> Sheriff’s <strong>Office</strong> voluntarily participates in eight accreditation and inspectionprocesses to reinforce the agency’s commitment to meeting and exceeding standards of professionalexcellence. Maintaining accreditation programs exemplifies the agency’s dedication to continuedprofessionalism by adhering to established standards that promote efficient use of resources andenhance public service delivery. Each accreditation process requires an in-depth review of everyaspect of the agency’s organization, management, operations, and administration, which include:* Establishment of agency goals and objectives, with provisions for periodic updating;* Re-evaluating how agency resources are being utilized in accordance with agency goals, objectives,and mission assignments;* Re-evaluating agency policies and procedures, especially as documented in the agency’s writtendirective system;* Systematically conducting a review and assessment of the agency’s policies and procedures, andmaking necessary adjustments to ensure compliance with the accepted standards for each accreditationprogram; and* Proof of compliance with the standards as determined by an assessment team sent by eachaccreditation commission to conduct an on-site review of the agency’s own policies, procedures andpractices.The following highlight the agency’s eight accreditations.Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc.This accreditation program recognizes professional achievements for addressingand complying with established standards developed by law enforcementpractitioners covering a wide range of up-to-date law enforcement topics.Compliance with 463 standards is required for CALEA accreditation, the “goldstar” for law enforcement.

Professional Service & StrategiesCommission for Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation, Inc.Developed by the Florida Sheriffs Association and the Florida Police ChiefsAssociation, this law enforcement accreditation process requires compliancewith professional standards designed specifically for Florida law enforcementagencies. Since the Florida accreditation program recognizes those agenciesthat are currently accredited by CALEA, the agency is only required tocomply with 85 standards for the CFA program. The agency was awardedits initial accreditation in 1998 and subsequently re-accredited every threeyears, with the most recent re-accreditation awarded in July 2010.Florida Corrections Accreditation Commission, Inc.This accreditation program addresses every aspect of the detention process:admission, classification, housing, sanitation, food service, security, training,and medical. The Florida Model Jail Standards provide the primary basisfor compliance with 242 accreditation standards. PCSO earned its initialaccreditation in 2000 and was most recently re-accredited in September 2012,earning 100% compliance in both applicable mandatory standards and nonmandatorystandards.National Commission on Correctional Health CareThe NCCHC accreditation program provides standards to address the topicsof medical and mental health care in prisons, jails, and juvenile confinementfacilities.

Professional Service & StrategiesPublic Safety Communications Accreditation ProgramThis accreditation program for public safety agencies provides the bestprofessional requirements and practices for public safety communications.This process requires compliance with 218 applicable standards as part ofthe internal review and assessment of our public safety communicationsfunctions. The agency was awarded its initial accreditation in 2002 andwas successfully re-accredited by the CALEA Commission in March2011. The agency also received designation as a flagship agency forexcellence in three successive on-site assessments for its PSCA program.The reaccreditation process will take place again in December of <strong>2013</strong>.Public Safety Training Academy Accreditation ProgramThis accreditation program requires criminal justice training academiesto comply with 162 standards in the areas of policy and procedures,administration, operations, and support services.

The Emergency Communications Center wasinitially accredited in 2010 and most recently re-accredited in <strong>2013</strong>.26


Resources & Strategies3. Limited ResourcesIn these difficult economic times, PCSO has been faced with the challenge of doing more withless. In order to accomplish this, the agency has devised various strategies throughout the yearsto assist with the workload and serve as cost saving measures. Although the agency’s workloadindicators have increased overall, the availability of resources has diminished. Below are severalexamples of workload indicators that have increased from 2011 to 2012.Total Call Activity: 6.2% increaseAnimal Control Calls Received: 11.0% increaseOffense/Incident Reports Processed: 11.5% increasePublic Records Requests (Legal): 446.1% increaseIn order to cope with the resource gap, the agency has implemented a number of strategies toassist with limited resources.PCSO Volunteer Program2012 Volunteer Stats at a GlanceTotal CAPCommunities56CAP Volunteers 2,926Non-CAPVolunteers270Total Volunteers 3,196Total HoursDonatedTotal Saved byVolunteers135,052.25$1.1 millionThe <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> Sheriff’s <strong>Office</strong> strives to buildstronger and safer communities by utilizingvolunteers throughout the agency.

Resources & StrategiesFiscal EfficienciesSheriff Grady Judd remains steadfastly committed to streamlining operations and identifying economiesof scale and efficiency strategies, while ensuring the delivery of professional, effective services.Managing a program and performance based budget system enhances the agency’s ability to properlyplan, monitor, and control expenditures. The benefits of this system are evidenced by the return of$5.1 million in unspent funds to the Board of <strong>County</strong> Commissioners for fiscal year 2011-2012. Thesesavings were mainly the result of:* Booking and housing fees charged to inmates;* Personnel savings from attrition and unspent overtime; and* Operating and capital budget savings.Cost Saving MeasuresTotal money returned to BoCCover the last eight fiscal years:$ 51.7 MillionEstablishing and maintaining programs to deliver effective law enforcement and detention services is acontinuous process within the agency. Achieving economies of scale and efficiencies by incorporatingbest practices throughout the agency’s operations yield significant savings. The cost savings andrevenue enhancement measures employed by the <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> Sheriff’s <strong>Office</strong> are outlined on thefollowing pages.Inmate Work Program: The agency’s Inmate Work Program iscomprised of individuals sentenced to serve a certain number of daysin order to complete their sentence. The program has three primarypurposes: it allows an individual to pay their debt to society withoutgoing to jail, allows an individual to maintain gainful employment sothey can support themselves and their families, and also eliminates theexpense to house these individuals in detention facilities. The programcosts are offset by fees collected from the inmates, who “pay toparticipate.” The Inmate Work Program consists of two components:the weekend program for inmates who can only work Saturdays and Sundays and the weekday programfor those inmates who can work throughout the week. In addition to reducing jail population, therebypreserving jail beds for high risk inmates, the program helps the Sheriff’s <strong>Office</strong>, Board of <strong>County</strong>Commissioners, cities, and non-profit groups save money by providing free inmate labor to pick uproadside litter, clean and maintain parks, and work on special projects.28


Resources & StrategiesJail Inmate (Incarcerated) Labor: Inmate labor is usedextensively throughout the <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> Sheriff’s <strong>Office</strong> tosupplement the agency’s operating and personnel costs. In jailfacilities, inmates perform many tasks, including meal preparation,laundry, cleaning, light maintenance and repair, landscaping andlawn maintenance, and other routine duties that would otherwisehave to be performed by paid personnel or contracted services.Inmate trustees also work at agency facilities across the countyperforming many of the same kinds of services they do in the jailsystem, such as working at the agency fleet maintenance facility,washing patrol cars, and performing work for the Board of <strong>County</strong>Commissioners’ facilities and projects.Inmate Medical Co-Payments: Since 1994, the Sheriff’s <strong>Office</strong>has charged county jail inmates a co-payment for their medicalservices, one of the first county jails to do so. Since the inceptionof the program, $635,208 has been collected from inmates.Inmate Initial Issue Fee: Initiated in 1996, this innovativeprogram charges a fee to inmates booked into the jail for hygieneitems such as toothpaste, combs, etc. Since the program’sinception, $675,922 has been collected to help reduce the costsof operating the county jails.Inmate Underwear Fee: Beginning in August 2011, PCSOstopped providing free underwear to male inmates. Prior to thismeasure, inmates that were moved from booking to housing wereissued five free pairs of briefs. Currently, male inmates are ableto purchase Fruit of the Loom briefs for $2.54 or boxer shorts for$4.48 per pair.29


Resources & StrategiesAdministrative Fee Per Diem: Due to favorable court rulings, theagency began charging inmates a per diem/inmate housing fee in2003 in an attempt to recover costs incurred to process inmates. Todate the agency has collected $2,905,268 to help lower overallcosts.Pre-adjudicated Youth: Beginning in October 2011, PCSO beganhousing pre-adjudicated juveniles. The juveniles are housedseparately from all adult inmates and are provided with juvenilespecificprograms for education, medical care, nutrition, behaviormanagement, and physical activites. In addition, the facility isstaffed by certified detention deputies and well qualified medicalprofessionals to ensure that all juveniles receive the appropriatecare. The facility undergoes annual inpections by both nationaland state accreditation agencies, as well as by certified inspectorsfor the Florida Model Jail Standards. In 2012, PCSO was ableto reduce the cost of housing juveniles by approximately $1.7million when compared to the Department of Juvenile Justicecosts.Inmate Telephone Fees: For fiscal year 2011-2012, the agency’sinmate telephone fee system resulted in direct payment of$1,203,340 to the Board of <strong>County</strong> Commissioners to helpsubsidize the cost of law enforcement and detention services in<strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong>.Subsistence Fees: On April 15, 2009, the <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> Sheriff’s<strong>Office</strong> instituted a new fee, referred to as a “subsistence fee,”which is specifically authorized in F.S. 951.033. The fee is usedto subsidize the cost of incarcerating inmates - including costs andservices such as food, clothing, laundry, etc. The $2 subsistencefee is assessed daily and collected through the inmate accountingsystem.Reserve Deputy Sheriffs and Civilian Volunteers: In fiscal year2011-2012, Reserve Deputies served an estimated 5,831 hours withthe Sheriff’s <strong>Office</strong>, while Civilian Volunteers - a force multiplierof nearly 3,200 strong - donated approximately 129,528 hours to anumber of programs, such as Citizen’s Assisted Patrol and Seniorsvs. Crime. These programs support the agency’s crime reductionmission and help keep the county safe. Combined, the totalvalue of Reserve Deputy Sheriffs and Civilian Volunteers is aconservatively estimated savings of $1.2 million.30


Resources & StrategiesLowering Personnel Costs: The agency is recognized for its practice of optimizing the use of sworn andcertified employees to perform high risk law enforcement and detention duties - not support or technical jobs.For administrative functions, the agency employs civilians in many positions that other agencies staff withsworn and certified deputies, thus reducing personnel and operating costs significantly.Privatization of Hospital Watches and Inmate Transportation: In <strong>2013</strong>, PCSO contracted with G4S SecureSolutions to assume control over local inmate transportation and the security of inmates admitted to localhospitals. Prior to this contract, these time consuming tasks had been performed by certified detention deputies.Privatizing these functions is not only more cost efficient, but allows PCSO members to reallocate their time.Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) Technology - In 2012, RFID technology was integrated into theDepartment of Detention and the Property and Evidence Unit. The Department of Detention utilizes thetechnology to track inmate movements, log cell and security checks, conduct headcounts, and monitor medicationadministration, meals, and recreation. Similarly, the Property and Evidence Unit employs the system to trackand control inventory contained in the Property and Evidence Warehouse. The new measures streamline theprocess, making it more efficient and accurate.Other Revenues and Federal & State Grants: The agency monitors nearly $5.5 million in special revenues.These revenues have been awarded to the agency through a proactive search for supplemental funding thatreturns tax dollars to <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> in the form of federal and state grants. This helps lessen the burden on localtaxpayers. These non-general fund revenues include grants and programs that fund law enforcement education,soft body armor, sexual predator tracking, identity theft investigations, community oriented policing, inmatesubstance abuse treatment, high intensity drug trafficking reduction, methamphetamine enforcement initiatives,victims of crimes assistance, and an Internet Crimes Against Children Enforcement Unit.Cost Savings Measures forFY 2011 - 2012$ 12 Million **estimate does not include: annual fuel savings, vehicle purchases, and grants/other revenues31

<strong>County</strong> DemographicsTrendsPopulationAs <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong>’s population continues to steadily grow, the demographics of those within its bordersare projected to significantly change. According to the University of Florida’s Bureau of Business andEconomic Research (BEBR), in 2011, 64.0% of <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> residents identified themselves as beingnon-Hispanic white, 14.3% as non-Hispanic black, 18.1% of Hispanic origin, and 3.5% identifiedthemselves as “other.” By 2040 this distribution is projected to shift, most notably in regards to thoseof Hispanic origin. In 2040, the total number of Hispanics is expected to more than double, increasingfrom 109,723 in 2011 to 267,197 in 2040. From 2010 to 2040, the percent of the total populationidentifed as Hispanic will increase from 18.1% to 29.1%.Similarly, the age distribution of<strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong>’s residents is anticipatedto change in the yearsto come. From 2011 to 2040, thepercentage of all age groups are expectedto decline, except for those65 and older.

trendsPOPULATIONService PopulationThe “primary service area” population of the <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> Sheriff’s <strong>Office</strong> has expanded over the pastseveral years, due in part to municipal partnerships. Initially, PCSO’s primary service area only includedthe unincorporated portions of the county. However, because Hillcrest Heights, Highland Park, and <strong>Polk</strong>City did not have a law enforcement agency of their own, PCSO’s primary service area expanded toinclude these areas in addition to the unincorporated portions of the county.In January 2007, Frostproof became the first municipality to enter into a contractual agreement with PCSOto provide law enforcement services. The municipalities of <strong>Polk</strong> City, Eagle Lake, Fort Meade, Dundee,and Mulberry later entered into similar agreements. The primary service area population encompassesthose areas of the county in which PCSO provides the primary law enforcement service. It is important tonote, however, that PCSO also statutorially provides various law enforcement related services county-wide(i.e., service of warrants and court processes), even when there is no contractual relationship present.The <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> Sheriff’s <strong>Office</strong>’s primary service area through the end of the 2012 calendar year included:unincorporated <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong>, Hillcrest Heights, Highland Park, and the municipal partners of Frostproof,<strong>Polk</strong> City, Eagle Lake, Fort Meade, Dundee, and Mulberry. According to information derived from BEBR,the population of the Sheriff’s primary service area was 398,796 in 2012, an increase of 871 individualsfrom 2011 and an increase of approximately 31% since 2000. At the end of calendar year 2012, PCSO’sprimary service area population encompassed approximately 66% of <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong>’s population.Note: 2010 population figure is based on BEBR’s estimation at the time of printing for the 2011-2012 <strong>Strategic</strong><strong>Plan</strong>.

38TRENDSLaw EnforcementPCSO’s Department of Law Enforcement provides theagency’s most visible service function, focusing onpreventing crime, maintaining order, and enforcing stateand local laws and ordinances. These responsibilitiesare administered through public education, patrolresponse, investigations, analysis, and other enforcementactivities.The level of service (LOS) measure is one benchmarkused in comparison to the state average, other lawenforcement agencies, or in comparison to the agencyitself over time. Using LOS simply as a benchmarkprovides limited information, representing only asnapshot in time. Combining the LOS with workload andperformance measures, such as patrol staffing, PROCAP(Proactive Community Attack on Problems) crimeanalysis, and geographic patrol distribution, providesthe agency with a comprehensive approach to remainproactive in our capital and resource planning, as wellas in our ability to provide effective law enforcementservices.The agency’s established LOS does not account forthe services the agency provides outside of its primaryservice area, such as assisting other agencies, emergencyresponse, traffic initiatives, service of warrants and courtprocesses, and back up support to other agencies countywide.The agency’s desired LOS is 1.7 deputy sheriffsper 1,000 residents in the Sheriff’s unincorporatedservice area, (excluding those deputies assigned to themunicipalities PCSO serves). In 2012, the LOS was 1.59deputy sheriffs per 1,000 residents, which representsa 0.11 deficit. To reach the desired LOS, the agencywould need approximately 40 more deputies.The patrol allocation model recognized by theInternational Association of Chiefs of Police is anothermethod of workload analysis. This method offers anobjective measure of activity based on the time to performpatrol functions, as well as on the following parameters:call data, response time, shift relief factor, time spent oncalls for service, as well as other duties performed bydeputies. Based on the parameters discussed, the patrolallocation model indicated a deficit of 73 to 209 patroldeputies to meet the service level demandsand desired proactive policing. However,because this analysis was done in 2007,it is projected that the deficit has sinceincreased and is even more significant thanoriginally estimated. Furthermore, 9 of theLevel of Service32 positions funded by the COPS Hiring and RecoveryProgram (CHRP) grant have reached maximum funding,with 6 others scheduled to reach an end by May <strong>2013</strong>.An extension will be requested to extend funding for theremaining 17 positions.The staffing model will be updated as soon the agencycan obtain several years of data in the new Tiburonsystem. To facilitate this, a special projects team hasbeen assembled and is currently refining data collectionmethods.Note: Population figures based on the beginning of the FY’sestimated population. Population estimates only includeunincorporated <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong>, Hillcrest Heights, and HighlandPark for 2001 - 2012. The municipality of <strong>Polk</strong> City isincluded for the years 2001 - 2006 due to no formal contractin place or law enforcement entity. During these years, PCSOremained the primary law enforcement service provider.


Call ActivitytrendslAW ENFORCEMENTLaw enforcement calls for service have long been a staple and source to quantify an agency’s workload. Inrecent years, PCSO has used technological advances to more accurately track calls for service, giving theagency a more thorough understanding of deputies’ actual workload. In 2009, PCSO celebrated its firstfull calendar year of utilizing such advances. Effective October 1, 2008, the agency switched from theirinternally developed computer-aided dispatch (CAD) system to one through Tiburon. With the aid of thisnew technology, agency members were able to capture a wider range of data than ever before. In turn, theavailability of this data changed the agency’s concept of what constituted a “call for service.”As the technology and methodology have changed in regards to capturing demand for service, so too hasthe label for such data. It is no longer referred to as “calls for service” but rather “total call activity.” Thetable below depicts a breakdown of the agency’s total call activity for 2012, which is comprised of callsfor service, onviews, and other call activity. Calls for service indicates those calls generated by citizensto which a deputy responded, while onviews refer to those proactive calls initiated by deputies. Other callactivity classifies those types of calls that have been completed by an administrator, task force, etc.A team of agency members has been brought together to further dissect the data in order to provide themost accurate and comprehensive information not only to the agency members, but also to the citizens of<strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong>. The team is comprised of members from the Department of Law Enforcement, InformationTechnology Division, Telecommunications Section, and the <strong>Strategic</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>ning Unit.Category 2011 2012Calls for Service 159,497 166,948Onviews 152,752 159,127Other Call Activity 11,758 18,046Total Call Activity 324,007 344,121In the table above, calls for service, onviews, other call activity, and the total call activity for the contractedcities are included in the total agency figures. Calls for service increased approximately 4.7% from 2011,while onviews increased an estimated 4.2%. Overall, total call activity for the <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> Sheriff’s <strong>Office</strong>increased approximately 6.2% from 2011.*The graph to the left showsa breakdown of the total callactivity by district. Thesefigures are exclusive of contractcities’ call activity.39


Animal Control ActivitytrendsLaw EnforcementIn addition to its law enforcement responsibilities, the <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> Sheriff’s <strong>Office</strong> is alsoresponsible for responding to animal control requests from the public. Unlike the call activitydiscussed in the prior section, these requests for service are handled by animal control officersrather than sworn deputies. As such, they are tabulated separately from the agency’s call activityand considered an independent demand for service indicator. The number of animal controlrequests increased by 7.5% from 2011 to 2012, and 16.7% from 2000 to 2012.The Animal Control Section’s duties are to enforce <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong>’s animal control ordinancesregarding stray and dangerous animals, to prevent and control rabies occurrences, and to investigateanimal cruelty. Animal control officers conduct animal attack investigations, animalconfiscations and quarantines, and provide rabies vaccinations. In addition, the Animal ControlSection provides public education, issues licenses, and oversees animal adoptions.In 2012, the Animal Control Section conducted 2,521 animal cruelty investigations, issued 2,045citations, completed 780 abandoned animal reports, and issued 35,850 licenses. Additionally,they adopted out 2,591 animals and delivered presentations to 5,106 citizens.Source: PCSO, Animal Control Section and <strong>Strategic</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>ning Unit, <strong>2013</strong>40


TRENDSCrime TrendsPCSO CrimePROCAP (Proactive Community Attack on Problems) is a philosophy that emphasizes crime data analysis,community-oriented policing, and problem-oriented policing. Rather than simply reacting to crime, lawenforcement efforts are focused on the systematic collection and analysis of intelligence and statistical data todetermine where and when crime is occurring. In response, law enforcement presence is increased in thoseidentified areas and crime reduction strategies are formulated to prevent future crimes.2007: Frostproof2008: Frostproof, Eagle Lake, Fort Meade2009: Frostproof, Eagle Lake, Fort Meade, Dundee2010 to Present: Frostproof, Eagle Lake, Fort Meade, Dundee, MulberryAs stated previously, over thepast several years, a total of sixmunicipalities have entered intocontracts with the <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong>Sheriff’s <strong>Office</strong> to provide primarylaw enforcement services. Due tothese contracts, determining thenumber of violent, non-violent, andtotal index crimes can vary dependingon whether the municipalities andtheir crime numbers and populationare included or excluded in theagency’s total figure.

From 2000 to 2012, the number of traffic fatalities PCSO has investigated hasincreased by 418%. Similarly, the number of traffic crashes investigated by PCSO has increased by64% between 2000 to 2012. It appears, however, that the number of traffic crashes might be slowlyreceding. In 2012, PCSO investigated 3% less crashes than in 2011.PCSO and FDOT are workingdiligently to decrease the numberof crashes and fatalities. InApril 2012, the agency receiveda $70,000 award from FDOT toimplement its “Operation ZERO-Impaired Driving EnforcementProgram.” Utilizing grant funding,agency members will conducthigh visibility, zero toleranceenforcement operations with thegoal to reduce the number of impaireddriving crashes, injuries,and fatalities in the community.Note: Prior to 2006, policy dictated that the majority of traffic fatalitieswere turned over to FHP for investigation.

TRENDSCrime TrendsGang ActivityAccording to the National Gang Intelligence Center(NGIC), there are more than 33,000 gangs in the UnitedStates and approximately 1.4 million active members.Gangs are involved in a wide array of criminal activity,including drug sales, firearms offenses, weaponstrafficking, home invasion robberies, and homicide.What’s more, gangs are increasingly engaging innon-traditional criminal activity (i.e., counterfeiting,identity theft, and mortgage fraud) due to its lowerrisk of detection and high profitability.According to the <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> Sheriff’s <strong>Office</strong> (PCSO)<strong>Strategic</strong> Investigations and Analysis Section, there area total of 28 known national gangs and local “hybrid”gangs within <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong>. Examples of nationalgangs operating in <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> are the Bloods, Crips,SUR 13, and Norte 14. Hybrid gangs are locally borngangs that may or may not show affiliation with majornational gangs, such as the Ratchet Boys, CrenshawBoys, Hood Boys, and Brick Boys. In 2012, theGang Unit conducted 11 gang suppression initiatives.There were an estimated 390 PCSO gang-relatedcalls, a 21% increase from the 321 gang-related callsin 2011 and an approximate 46% increase from the268 gang-related calls in 2010.StrategyThe Intelligence Unit consists of one sergeant andfive detectives which comprises the Gang and Vicefunctions. They have implemented strategies tocombat gangs by utilizing the assistance from patroland COPS deputies in conducting suppressioninitiatives throughout the county. Aside from theGang detectives and patrol deputies, the Departmentof Detention has also implemented strategies to assistin combating gangs and their criminal activity. Wheninmates are booked into the jail, alltattoos, with the exception of tattoos inKey Issuessensitive areas, are photographed and interfaced into“Mug Search.” A log is submitted daily to the Bureauof Special Investigations Gang detectives providinginformation on visible tattoos that were taken in eachspecific 24-hour period. The Inmate Work Programcontinues to partner with local and regional entitiesin the removal of gang-related “tagging” throughout<strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong>. As “tags” are reported, materials areobtained and inmate labor is used to remove and/or paint over the “tags.” In addition, PCSO hasdeveloped an email address, graffiti@polksheriff.org, where residents can report graffiti online.PCSO was awarded a grant for the period ofSeptember 2010 through January <strong>2013</strong>, in the amountof $250,000, from the <strong>Office</strong> of Juvenile Justiceand Delinquency Prevention. PCSO, through thisfunding opportunity, will focus on the prevention andintervention of those youth under the age of 18. Onedetective position is funded by this grant to performits tasks, in addition to acting as the liaison for theSheriff’s <strong>Office</strong> with the Tampa Bay Area Multi-Agency Gang Task Force (MAGTF), Florida GangInvestigators Association, local <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> lawenforcement intelligence groups and the Immigrationand Customs Enforcement (ICE).The <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> Sheriff’s <strong>Office</strong> and its partners aimto keep the citizens of <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> well informedof the dangers associated with gangs. In 2012, theIntelligence Unit and Gang detectives conducted12 community presentations on gang awareness.In addition, they offered seven Gang Identificationclasses to PCSO members to ensure that they areequipped to respond to the ever changing gangproblem.MethamphetamineAccording to the White House <strong>Office</strong> of DrugControl Policy, the use of methamphetamine, a48

It is cheap, addictive, andwas traditionally developed in clandestine laboratoriesoften located in remote areas, but is now often made byindividuals through a portable one-pot method.In 2012, the agency’s Bureau of Special Investigations’Narcotics Section seized approximately 28,577 gramsof methamphetamine. In addition, the High IntensityDrug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) Task Force made 302meth-related arrests, comprised of 20 federal and 282state arrests. Even with these accomplishments, the<strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> Sheriff’s <strong>Office</strong> continues to vigorouslybattle methamphetamine related crime.StrategyDetectives from the Bureau of Special Investigationswork closely with the Drug Enforcement Administration(DEA), Immigrations and Customs Enforcement(ICE), and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearmsand Explosives (ATF) to target individuals sellingmethamphetamine and running drug traffickingorganizations. When appropriate, PCSO pursuesfederal prosecution of these individuals through theU.S. Attorney’s <strong>Office</strong>. The Narcotics InvestigationsSection has three (3) detectives assigned to the DrugEnforcement Administration Tampa District <strong>Office</strong>.Two of the three Task Force Agents at DEA arecommitted to a group that’s primary mission is toinvestigate methamphetamine trafficking organizations.Furthermore, the Narcotics Investigations Section hasalso placed a detective in the U.S. Marshal’s FugitiveApprehension Squad in Tampa, Florida. This TaskForce helps track and arrest any fugitives in thesecomplex federal and state investigations.A number of initiatives were conducted in 2012 tocombat meth-related crime. In May 2012, a jointinvestigation involving PCSO, the Central FloridaHigh Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA) TaskForce, and the DEA, resulted in multiple federalindictments by the US Attorney’s <strong>Office</strong>. Detectivesseized approximately 11 pounds of methamphetamine,11 guns, and over $131,000 in cash. As a result of theinvestigation, 15 individuals with <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> tieswere federally charged and four were arrested on statecharges.The PCSO currently operates two grants specificallyaimed at methamphetamine. The first COPS Initiativeruns from March 2009 through September <strong>2013</strong> inthe amount of $250,000. In October 2010, the PCSOaccepted the second COPS Initiative in the amountof $250,000, which covers the period of October2010 through December <strong>2013</strong>. This federal fundingcovers overtime, equipment, and training, and enablesthe PCSO to make a dedicated effort to combat thedistribution and use of methamphetamine in <strong>Polk</strong><strong>County</strong>.Marijuana - Grow HousesAccording to a 2011 report released by the U.S.Department of Justice’s National Drug IntelligenceCenter, eradication of marijuana plants from bothindoor and outdoor grow sites in the United Stateshas increased by 145% since 2004. What’s more,the Florida <strong>Office</strong> of Agricultural Law Enforcementreported that 961 indoor and outdoor grow siteswere dismantled in Florida in 2011, resulting in theeradication of 46,605 marijuana plants, 846 arrests, andthe forfeiture of $1,334,944 in assets. In 2012, PCSOseized approximately 208,084 grams of cannabis, 957cannabis plants, and dismantled 15 grow houses.49


StrategyTRENDSCrime TrendsThe agency will continue its efforts to detect anddismantle grow houses. Key to the investigation ofthese operations is our continued participation in theHigh Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) TaskForce. Our investigative efforts are aided by keepingthe public informed in recognizing and reporting anyillegal or suspicious activity. Legislative proposalsaimed at increasing the penalties for grow houseoperators supplement the agency’s enforcement effortsto rid neighborhoods of the threats imposed by theseoperations. On June 17, 2008, former AttorneyGeneral Bill McCollum announced that the MarijuanaGrow House Eradication Act had been signed intolaw. Effective July 1, 2008, this law made it a seconddegreefelony to grow 25 or more plants, as well as afirst-degree felony for those individuals who grow 25or more plants in a home with a child present. This lawalso made it a third-degree felony for those individualswho own a house for the purpose of cultivating,packaging, and distributing marijuana.Key IssuesInternet CrimesThe computer technology era ushered in the capabilitiesto enrich our lives at work, school, and home. It hasprovided unparalleled recreational and educationalopportunities to people all over the world. Unfortunately,it has also given criminals another venue to conducttheir illicit behavior, specifically when their desiredvictims are children.In 2012, the agency’s Computer Crimes Unit conductedseveral operations in conjunction with federal, state,and local agencies, to investigate and prosecute thosevictimizing our children via the Internet. In onesuch investigation, PCSO detectives worked withthe Wisconsin Department of Justice to arrest DevinKenneth Moon, a <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> resident, for soliciting a13-year-old girl online. Detectives learned that Moonhad sexually explicit conversations with the girl andplanned to kidnap her from Wisconsin and bring her backto Florida. Moon was charged with Traveling to Meeta Minor (Attempted), Lewd or Lascivious Conduct,Possession of Child Pornography, Interference withCustody, Use of Computer Service to Seduce SolicitEntice, Distributing Obscene Material to a Minor, andUse of Two-Way Communication Device to Facilitatea Felony. In all, PCSO detectives have arrested 332suspects in various undercover stings conducted byPCSO since 2006. Due to its reputation for takingan active lead in investigations, PCSO is the CentralFlorida Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) TaskForce Coordinator.StrategyPCSO is dedicated to predator/offender managementand community safety through its purchase of theOffender Watch software program. The program is adatabase for sexual predator/offender information anda tool for the community to access data about sexualpredator/offenders in the area. Citizens throughoutthe community may access this program through the50


Key IssuestrendsCrime Trendsagency’s website and voluntarily be notified throughemail of a predator/offender moving within one mile oftheir given address. Authorized agency members canaccess the database of information from any agencycomputer, thus reducing the time frame it is dispersedto investigating personnel during criminal or suspiciousincidents. The agency also has continued its distributionof “Computer Cop” software program. This softwaremay be loaded onto any computer and will scan thecomputer for offensive or inappropriate material. Thedisk also contains safety tips and instructions and isoffered free to citizens by the agency. In 2012, PCSOdistributed 369 copies of the program. In addition,PCSO has launched a Facebook account. The goal ofthis account is twofold; first, it is a reminder to thosewho visit how important it is to practice safe onlineactivity; and second, it will remind online predators that<strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong>’s children have included PCSO on their“friend list.” As of March <strong>2013</strong>, PCSO’s Facebookpage has over 32,000 followers and continues to growin popularity.In July 2010, the agency was initially awarded grantfunding in the amount of $380,287 to expand its effortsin combating internet crimes against children. It fundeda detective to serve as the coordinator for the newlyestablished Central Florida Internet Crimes AgainstChildren (ICAC) Task Force. The funds were alsoused to obtain equipment and training specific to theneeds of the Task Force. In 2011 and 2012, the agencyreceived a total of $759,994 in ICAC grant fundingto continue the Task Force’s efforts. The Task Forcealso continues to receive funding from a previous 2009Recovery Act grant in the amount of $837,551. Thisfunding provided the Task Force with six additionalpersons to investigate internet crimes against children.Prescription Drug Abusetime, one-third did so using a prescription drug for anon-medical purpose. Much of this stems from thefact that prescription drugs are often readily accessibleat home and many, especially teens, believe they aresafer than other types of drugs. Of those that reportedusing prescription drugs non-medically, 88% reportedobtaining them from a doctor, friend. or relative. Onlya very small minority obtained the drugs from a drugdealer or other stranger.StrategyPCSO continues to focus its efforts on identifyingand apprehending doctors and pharmacists whooverprescribe and dispense prescription drugs in excessof acceptable medical standards. Detectives alsocontinue to utilize the Prescription Drug MonitoringProgram, a statewide prescription drug database usedto identify individuals who have obtained separatepain medication prescriptions from multiple doctorsin a short period of time. The Bureau of SpecialInvestigations has established a unit solely dedicatedto capturing individuals engaged in this type of “doctorshopping.”Working in cooperation with the Florida Departmentof Law Enforcement (FDLE), the Attorney General’s<strong>Office</strong> of Statewide Prosecution, and the FloridaDepartment of Health (DOH), PCSO has conducteda series of initiatives throughout 2012 intended tostop individuals from illegally obtaining and abusingprescription drugs. In one such investigation, 25arrest warrants were issued after PCSO deputiesdiscovered a pill mill operation in which suspectswere being paid to obtain fraudulent prescriptions inexchange for cash payment. Initiatives such as thissend a clear message that PCSO will not toleratethose who work to put dangerous drugs on the street.According to the <strong>Office</strong> of National Drug Control Policy,prescription drugs are the second-most abused categoryof drugs in the United States, second only to marijuana.The National Survey on Drug Use and Health reportsthat of those 12 and older who used drugs for the first51

Inmate PopulationtrendsDetentionPCSO operates two detention facilities: Central <strong>County</strong> Jail and South <strong>County</strong> Jail. The Central <strong>County</strong> Jailhas a design capacity for 800 inmates, and the South <strong>County</strong> Jail has a design capacity for 1,776 inmates.The jail facilities house a varied population of persons who are pre-trial detainees, convicted inmates whomay be awaiting sentencing or transport to state prison, or those sentenced to serve a jail term of 365 daysor less. The jails are used as holding facilities for persons who have violated conditions of their parole orprobation and are pending disposition of a disciplinary hearing. Jails also serve as housing facilities forpersons who are pending transfer to another county or state, or being detained for another local, state, orfederal law enforcement agency.The average inmate population for the Central and South <strong>County</strong> Jails in 2012 was 2,407, with the averageinmate population at the Central <strong>County</strong> Jail being 605 and and the South <strong>County</strong> Jail being 1,802. Theinmate population fluctuates on a daily basis, due to factors such as arrestee bookings and releases, andinmate transfers to state prison.Note: <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> Inmate Work Camp averages are included in the 2008 and 2009 figures. The average workcamp inmate population in 2008 was 6 inmates and 26 inmates for 2009. Also, beginning inOctober 2011, preadjudicated youth housed in the Central <strong>County</strong> Jail are included in the averages.56


TRENDSDetentionJail BookingsThe Department of Detention’s Central Booking Facility is the processing facility for arrests made within<strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> by PCSO, area law enforcement agencies, local police departments, state agencies, courts,bondsmen, and others with authorized arrest powers. The booking process for each arrestee includesproperty intake, medical screening, fingerprinting, photographing, and classification. The Department ofDetention processed a total of 32,443 arrestees in 2012, an increase of approximately 6.9% from 2011,and an increase of 21.3% from 2000. Of the 32,443 bookings for 2012, 66% were attributed to arrestsmade by PCSO.Based on an average annual growth rate forthe past twelve years of 1.7%, the number ofjail bookings may reach 34,118 by 2015 and38,372 by 2022.Source: PCSO, Department of Detention and <strong>Strategic</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>ning Unit,<strong>2013</strong>57


PCSO BookingstrendsDetentionIn 2012, bookings made by PCSO deputies totaled 21,449, which comprised 66% of all bookingsat the <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> Jail. This is an estimated 4.4% increase from 2011 and an approximate 40.3%increase from 2000. Much of this increase can be attributed to the addition of the PCSO’s six contractcities beginning in 2007.*Based on an average annualgrowth rate for the past twelveyears of approximately 3.25%,the number of jail bookingsby PCSO deputies may reach23,607 by 2015 and 29,525by 2022.Source: PCSO, Department of Detention and <strong>Strategic</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>ning Unit, <strong>2013</strong>*PCSO began providing lawenforcement services to the sixcontract cities on the followingdates: Frostproof (1/1/07);<strong>Polk</strong> City (3/1/07); Eagle Lake(8/1/07); Ft. Meade (1/1/08);Dundee (10/1/08); and Mulberry(11/30/09).58


TRENDSDetentionDetention StrategiesThere are many factors that influence the average daily inmate population in the jail. Recidivism, strictersentencing guidelines, court-imposed mandates, diversionary programs, and re-entry programs are some factorsthat will impact the inmate population in the future. The Department of Detention has implemented variousstrategies aimed at managing the inmate population, while still maintaining the safety and security needs of thestaff, inmate population, and the public.Public Safety Coordinating Council – The Sheriff, in a continued partnership with the Public SafetyCoordinating Council, will research alternatives to manage the jail population and formulate recommendationsto limit jail overcrowding while maintaining public safety.A program established by the Public Safety Coordinating Council and administered by <strong>County</strong> Probation isthe implementation of passive electronic monitoring of qualified inmates released from jail, but required toremain under supervision. The program is proving effective in getting individuals through their court-orderedprobation requirements. According to <strong>County</strong> Probation, from December 2005 through September 2012, the1,809 adult offenders monitored by the program have collectively avoided 110,034 days in jail.Inmate Work Program – The Inmate Work Program is comprised of individuals who have been sentenced bythe courts to the county jail, but assigned to the Inmate Work Program to complete their sentence. Historically,the Inmate Work Program was a weekend program, however, in 2004, the program was expanded to includeweekdays. The program operates at no cost to the taxpayers because program fees are collected from theinmates. The program also eliminates taxpayers’ expense by providing an alternative to incarceration ratherthan to house these inmates in detention facilities and incur daily subsistence costs. The program annuallyprovides thousands of hours of free labor to partnerships throughout <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> to assist in beautification andmaintenance projects for county and city facilities, schools, and parks.Faith-Based Initiatives – PCSO’s faith-based initiatives are designed to reduce recidivism, which helpsmanage the jail population by reducing re-entry into the jail system. The initiative is a holistic approach to lifechange through Bibliotherapeutic treatment. Our faith-based initiatives address inmates’ issues through Bibleteaching, counseling, mentoring, alcohol education, and a variety of life skills. By developing and buildingvoluntary partnerships between inmates and the faith-based communities, inmates may positively redirect theirlives upon release, reducing the likelihood of recommitting crimes. The faith-based initiative program is avoluntary program for qualified inmates who apply to participate. These initiatives are provided at no costto the taxpayers by volunteers in the faith-based communities.Inmate Educational Program - Beginning August 2012, PCSO launched its “Keys to Staying Out of Jail”inmate educational program. The program’s purpose is to provide inmates with practical and academiceducation focused on improving their quality of life and helping them become productive, crime-free citizensof the community. The two main components of the program are television programming and classroomtraining. Television programming runs from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. in the day room areas of the jail andcovers topics such as math, science, reading, writing, social studies, and health education. Classroom trainingis taught by volunteers and includes topics such as CPR instruction, GED preparation, and job skills training.59


Detention StrategiestrendsDetentionThe educational program is funded by the Inmate Welfare Fund and the State Attorney’s <strong>Office</strong> drug educationand crime prevention fund. There is no cost to taxpayers for this program.Inmate Mental Health – Individuals suffering from mental illnesses many times end up in jail due to inadequatemental health care in the community. One approach to address this problem is our participation in the establishmentof a Mental Health Court to divert mentally ill persons from jail to the appropriate mental health care treatmentand facilities. Our partnership with community health centers, such as Peace River Center, works to find the besttreatment for an offender with a mental illness. Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training improves the CIT-traineddeputies’ awareness of how mental illness affects behavior and better equips deputies to deal with persons withmental illness. In addition, there is a Special Needs Unit (SNU), which is a unit designed to house inmates thathave severe mental health issues. The inmates in SNU receive monitoring by the Mental Health Director (SNUCoordinator) and a psychiatrist. The MHD monitors compliance with medication and behavior. Aftercare andplacement assistance is provided upon request.Jail Alternatives to Substance Abuse – Inmates, both male and female, housed in the agency’s detentionfacilities may participate in a voluntary drug treatment program. The Jail Alternative to Substance Abuse (JASA)program is a collaborative effort between the Sheriff’s <strong>Office</strong> and Tri-<strong>County</strong> Human Services. This initiativeis geared to reduce recidivism through teaching and counseling about the effective management of drug andalcohol issues and anger management.Direct Supervision Jail Management – The South <strong>County</strong> Jail expansion consists of 768 beds that are managedby a Direct Supervision philosophy. The concept of Direct Supervision is a practice whereby inmates are housedin pods around a common day area or multipurpose room. A detention deputy is assigned to supervise inmatesin the pod on a 24/7 basis. During 2007, two detention supervisors attended the National Direct SupervisionSymposium in preparation for the application of this practice. All staff assigned to Direct Supervision areas arethoroughly trained.Expand Inmate Intake Area – The <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> BoCC has contracted with Heery International to conduct aspace analysis study of the <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> Courthouse and the Lawrence W. Crow Building. The study will addressthe need for expansion of the intake area and administrative offices. The project is currently in its early stagesand implementation of the resulting recommendations will commence upon its completion.Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) – In 2012, PCSO implemented an RFID inmate tracking systemthat utilizes radio frequency technology to monitor inmate movements. The system tracks and logs cell andsecurity checks, headcounts, medication administration, meals, and recreation. As a result of its implementation,all manual documentation and paper logs were discontinued, making the process more accurate and less timeconsuming for Detention members.Hospital Watch and Inmate Transportation Privatization - In October 2012, G4S Secure Solutions wascontracted to assume local inmate transportation related to court appearances and inter-facility movement, aswell as security of inmates admitted to local hospitals. The measure is not only more cost efficient, but will alsofree up Detention members to focus their attention on other tasks.60


trendsDetentionPre-adjudicated JuvenilesIn 2011, counties were granted the authority to operate their own juvenile detention centers, independentfrom the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ), with the passage of SB 2112. In October of thatyear, PCSO began housing pre-adjudicated juveniles in the <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> Juvenile Detention Facility inEast Bartow. Prior to this, pre-adjudicated juveniles had been housed in the <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> Juvenile DetentionCenter operated by the DJJ. The switch has been a benefit to <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> both in terms of cost andin quality of service.CostBefore PCSO assumed control of housing pre-adjudicated juveniles, <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> paid approximately$3.2 million annually to the DJJ for its services. This averaged to nearly $237.00 per juvenile per day,which was projected by DJJ to increase to $350.26 in 2011-2012. PCSO has been successful in reducingthis by almost half. Because PCSO can operate its juvenile detention facility without unnecessary, duplicativebureaucratic oversight and overhead from DJJ, PCSO saved <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> $1.7 million in FY 2012.What’s more, PCSO reduces cost by utilizing its existing buildings, procedures, management, supportfunctions, and processes already in place at <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> jail facilities.Quality of ServiceAs well as being a more cost-efficient option,PCSO provides an exceptional quality of service.Due to their extensive training, development,and education, PCSO Detention Deputiesare especially well equipped to care for andcontrol pre-adjudicated juveniles. A DetentionDeputy working in a juvenile custody area willhave a minimum of 832 hours of initial training,in addition to 39 hours of annual retraining eachadditional year employed, mandatory FDLE retraining,and any other optional training he or shecompletes. In comparison, a DJJ Detention <strong>Office</strong>ronly receives 240 total hours of training.There is no interaction between juveniles housedat the Juvenile Detention Facility and adult inmates.All juveniles are kept away from adultinmates by sight, sound, and during transportation. Every effort is made to ensure that juveniles’ timespent at the Juvenile Detention Facility is not only safe, but also productive. Juveniles also attend educationalclasses taught by educational professionals from the <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> School Board.61


Department of Detention goalsGoal 1: Expansion of Central BookingThere is a need to expand the current intake area at Central Booking. The volume ofinmates processed through Central Booking along with the services required, far exceedsthe capacity of the existing structure. An expansion of the Central Booking area wouldenhance the operation by providing essential customer service needs, improve staff andinmate safety, and provide adequate space to accommodate the required functions of thebooking area.Another very important point of this needed expansion is to relocate the number of peoplethat accumulate outside of the Central Booking sally port waiting on inmates to be releasedor to conduct business with Central Booking. The large number of people is a concern thatthe agency shares as a whole, and their safety and well-being is of the utmost importance.Preliminary assessments and cost estimates were obtained in 2007 and funds were notavailable to proceed. Construction drawings were purchased in FY08/09. The continuationand completion of this project is requested for FY 12-13.1.1: Work with the BOCC in providing vital data and focus group information relating tothe Courthouse Space Analysis study that will address the needs of the existing operationsin the Lawrence W. Crow Building along with the expansion of the existing courthouse.1.2: Review the recommendations and design concepts submitted by the study group anddetermine the operational functionality of the proposed design and assist in making anynecessary changes required.1.3: Determine renovation costs.1.4: Identify a funding source to cover the renovation costs.1.5: Proceed with renovations and obtain vendors for ancillary services related to theexpansion such as inmate kiosks, data access points, and ATM machines.62


Goal 2: Funding and CostsDepartment of Detention goalsContinue to evaluate current expenditures, identify new cost saving opportunities, andexplore potential reductions in labor and operational costs in preparation for potentialfunding deficits at the local, state, and federal level.2.1: Examine all potential requests for expenditures and determine the actual need for theitems requested.2.2: Analyze current processes which could potentially yield opportunities for costsavings.2.3: Examine partnerships and potential delegation of responsibilities through privatizationto outside vendors which could potentially reduce labor and operational costs.Goal 3: Tiburon Corrections Management SystemImplement and train members on the Tiburon Corrections Management System (CMS),along with the various third party applications that will be associated with the new CMSsoftware.3.1: Complete the Business Practices Review (BPR) to establish parameters for thevarious items required by the CMS and all third party software solutions.3.2: Ensure data tables are completed as required in preparation for the CMS install.3.3: Train all Detention members on the use of the Tiburon CMS software package andall additional third party solutions that will be attached.3.4: Implement the Tiburon CMS system and integrate it with the Video Visitation,Guardian RFID, and TIPS throughout the Department of Detention.3.5: Evaluate all implemented processes to ensure that a high level of efficiency andcustomer service is maintained and that data is accurately being recorded.63


Department of Detention goalsGoal 4: Central and South <strong>County</strong> Jails Facility Improvements4.1: Complete renovations of the Central <strong>County</strong> Jail including the window replacements,and maintenance and security upgrades. The original renovations to Central <strong>County</strong> JailBuildings 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 included interior and exterior window replacements, plumbingupgrades, and the addition of video cameras in the juvenile cells as well as all isolationcells. This project was to be completed in calendar year 2012, but due to installation issueswith the exterior windows is projected to be completed in the first part of <strong>2013</strong>.4.2: Continue with the replacement of metal bunks and relocation of towel hooks.The current temporary bunks located inside the sleeping cells are constructed in a waythat allows the inmates to disassemble them. New bunks are being installed as funds areavailable. In addition, when the bunks are replaced, the towel hooks will be relocated tothe metal wall in each cell and removed from the concrete wall to prevent removal of thehooks by the inmates. This project is scheduled to be ongoing as funding is available forthe purchase of additional bunks.4.3: Make use of available resources to improve utilization of existing facilities in orderto improve inmate and detention deputy safety.Increasing the number of dorms being staffed will allow the transfer of inmates currentlyhoused in the dayrooms to cells. Having inmates in the dayrooms reduces security andmakes it difficult to maintain keep separates located on the top and bottom tier of the samedorm.Goal 5: Continuation of housing pre-adjudicated youth, in accordance with inspectionsand accreditation processes, continuation of a sound behavioral managementsystem, and search for additional savings.5.1: To ensure pre-adjudicated housing units meet all inspectional processes and accreditationstandards.64


Department of Detention goalsThe Central <strong>County</strong> Jail Commander will keep up to date on all legislative changes or rules regardingthe housing of pre-adjudicated youth at the Central <strong>County</strong> Jail. Policies and procedures willbe reviewed to ensure compliance. In addition, all inspectional processes and mandates will bereviewed and provisions made to accommodate the changes.5.2: To ensure the delivery of professional and quality supervision of all youth housed within theCentral <strong>County</strong> Jail.All detention deputies assigned to the juvenile detention housing areas shall, at a minimum, completea forty-hour juvenile offender supervision course, in addition to the entry-level training requirementsof a certified detention deputy. Supervisors shall regularly patrol housing areas andreview recorded video footage of the housing areas for quality control. The Central <strong>County</strong> JailCommander, or designee, shall meet with representatives assigned to juvenile housing areas todiscuss activities and issues regarding the juvenile housing areas.5.3: To continuously utilize a rewards system designed to compensate good behavior and applyconsequential loss of rewards for poor behavior.The juvenile housing areas will utilize a daily and weekly points-based system to determine whichyouth have earned privileges and rewards for positive behavior while detained. Behaviors, bothpositive and negative, will be documented with consequences/rewards noted by detention deputies.5.4: To ensure the most efficient operations of the pre-adjudicated youth housing, operations willbe reviewed and measured to determine if additional savings can be obtained.Quarterly inspections of processes based upon compiled data will be conducted to ensure the mostefficient use of manpower and operations. Each quarter more data will be collected and comparedto previous data to develop a baseline of operations. In addition, internal audits will be conductedto compare with previous quarters.65


trends<strong>Office</strong> of Business AffairsThe <strong>Office</strong> of Business Affairs (OBA) is comprised of the Business Service Division, Fiscal Services Division,Human Resources Division, and Information Technology Division. The following is a list of key issuesfacing OBA that were identified at the Senior Staff Retreat and during other meetings throughout 2012.Tiburon: When fully operational, Tiburon integratedsoftware will provide a comprehensivesystem for computer aided dispatch (CAD), recordsmanagement, and corrections management.Tiburon will streamline dispatch, dataentry, record retrieval and analysis, and informationsharing with other law enforcement agencies.In 2012, the Information Technology Division(IT) made significant progress in attainingfull implementation. Members of IT’s ApplicationManagement Section (AMS) worked closelywith law enforcement, the Records ManagementBureau, Property and Evidence, and participatingcities to ensure the software met the needs ofeach group. As a result, PCSO and other countypolicing agencies have easy access to the informationthey need to keep the citizens of <strong>Polk</strong><strong>County</strong> safe. In <strong>2013</strong>, IT will continue to makestrides to implement and improve upon Tiburon.Recruiting and Retention: The Human Resources Division (HR) is constantly seeking new and innovativestrategies to recruit and retain the most qualified and talented personnel. HR’s goal is not only to hirethe best possible candidates, but also to ensure that those candidates will remain with PCSO for a significantperiod of time. Therefore, prior to hire, it is essential to accurately assess which job candidates are the best fitand most likely to perform most effectively in the position. In 2012, HR reduced the number of backgroundinvestigations by 3% and pre-employment interviews by 22% by conducting polygraph examinations andpre-screening interviews at the beginning of the hiring process. In <strong>2013</strong>, a new Applicant Tracking Systemwill be implemented, which will streamline hiring and make the application process more user-friendly.Succession <strong>Plan</strong>ning: In order to ensure key positions in the agency are never vacant, a successionplan must be developed to target members for promotion and equip them to make the transitionwhen called upon. In 2012, a Special Projects Team was established in order to create a successionplanning program for the agency. The Special Projects Team has designed a General Orderwhich includes the criteria required for members who wish to participate in the program, as well anoverview of what is required of participants. Upon approval, the program will begin in <strong>2013</strong>.Fuel Prices: As the price of fuel continues to increase, PCSO remains dedicated to finding ways to domore with less resources. The average price of fuel used by PCSO vehicles increased by6% in FY 2012. In addition, PCSO logged approximately 16.1 million miles on agencyvehicles, and 1,106,113 gallons of fuel were consumed. As a response, a Special ProjectsTeam was formed to research and analyze PCSO’s fuel consumption patterns and devisestrategies to become more fuel efficient.

Community Investment PrioritiesTo meet the needs of the community and to provide effective law enforcement and detention services, the agencyneeds the continued support of the Board of <strong>County</strong> Commissioners to address our community investmentpriorities.Training CenterAn engineering firm was retained, and with the help of PCSO, developed a master plan for build-out on theexisting Burnham-McCall Training Center property. Currently, a major project to be completed at the TrainingCenter is the Emergency Vehicle Operator Course (EVOC) that meets all state mandates and will allow more“real-world” training as it pertains to Pursuit Intervention Technique (PIT) maneuver. The EVOC will not onlybe utilized by the Kenneth C. Thompson Institute of Public Safety, but also by local law enforcement and firerescue to conduct defensive driving training. There are also additional plans to replace all existing administrativebuildings with larger site built structures that will allow for a better learning environment.Booking ExpansionThe agency worked in conjunction with county facilities and authorized an architect to develop a full set of plansto expand the booking area. The plans were finalized in May 2009. The expansion will allow for additionalholding cells, a medical screening area, an area for daily registrations, and media booths. The expansion willalso allow for a customer service area to include increased seating and restrooms, as well as, increasing safetyby separating incoming and outgoing inmate traffic.Aviation SupportDue to <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong>’s considerable area, itis vital that PCSO has safe and dependablehelicopters available to patrol whennecessary. In <strong>2013</strong>, PCSO purchased anew helicopter to replace one of the twoVietnam-era helicopters that it alreadyowned. The helicopter was purchased usingfunds from a “replacement account” thatwas saved over the course of 12 years frombudgeted funds that remained unused. Partsfrom the replaced helicopter will be usedon the remaining helicopter to improve itsoperation. When enough money has beensaved to do so, PCSO plans to purchaseanother new helicopter in 3 to 5 years.69

Evaluation of 2012Goals and ObjectivesThe strategic planning process includes an evaluation of the previous year’s goalsand objectives. The evaluation process enables us to measure the actual progresstoward our stated objectives. The agency’s goals may incorporate both longtermand short-term objectives; however, realistic expectations are establishedto ensure achievable outcomes. Two important aspects of the evaluation processinvolve the documentation and communication of our progress to every levelwithin the organization. The annual review of the agency’s goals and objectivesserve to evaluate performance measures, assess progress in achieving intendedoutcomes, and gauge the effectiveness of our operations. New programs maybe incorporated, or existing programs modified, to adjust to the community’sneeds, trends, and expectation of services. The following section provides anevaluation of the agency’s goals and objectives for 2012.Goal 1: The agency will continue to ensure the safety and security of the community whilecultivating customer loyalty.Objective 1.1: Expand and integrate the PROCAP (Proactive Community Attack onProblems) philosophy throughout the agency.Assigned Responsibility: Department of Law Enforcement / Department of Detention / <strong>Office</strong>of CommunicationsStrategy 1: Review the fundamentals of PROCAP and the Jail Information Model (JIM) and seeknew ideas from agency members during roll call.The Department of Detention utilizes data from the Jail Information Model and Facility Cop,especially in incidents involving fights or assaults in order to identify frequent perpetrators. Theseperpetrators of inmate violence are placed in Administrative Confinement Housing. Disciplinaryreports and criminal charges are pursued, but the Department of Detention does not wait on thatprocess before acting in order to limit disruptive behavior.Strategy 2: Enhance a comprehensive drug reduction strategy that deals with prescription drugs,crack cocaine, marijuana indoor grow operations, and methamphetamine abuse to interruptaccompanying criminal activity.71


PCSO continues to focus its efforts on identifying and apprehending doctors and pharmacistswho overprescribe and dispense prescription drugs in excess of acceptable medical standards.Detectives also continue to utilize the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program, a statewideprescription drug database used to identify individuals who have obtained separate painmedication prescriptions from multiple doctors in a short period of time. The Bureau of SpecialInvestigations has established a unit solely dedicated to capturing individuals engaged in this typeof “doctor shopping.” Working in cooperation with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement(FDLE), the Attorney General’s <strong>Office</strong> of Statewide Prosecution, and the Florida Department ofHealth (DOH), PCSO has conducted a series of initiatives throughout the year intended to stopindividuals from illegally obtaining and abusing prescription drugs.The Narcotics Unit continues to use all resources available to deal with the crack cocainesituation. Detectives have developed sources to infiltrate particular areas and have introducedundercover detectives to make hand to hand buys in order to establish solid charges on dealers.The latest example of this type of strategy was “Operation Car Chaser” in Fort Meade. This caseinitially focused on street level dealers and moved up to the suppliers before detectives obtainedarrest and search warrants. This comprehensive strategy has both short and long term benefits.In the short term, there is less cocaine sold on the street; in the long term this strategy tends to getrid of much, if not all, of the entire criminal organization. During this month long investigationdetectives were able to make twenty eight (28) arrests, served two (2) search warrants, andeffectively shut down all the street level drug sales in the community.PCSO is continuing its partnership with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to identify,investigate and dismantle grows houses and drug trafficking organizations responsible for theindoor grow houses. Because of geographical and jurisdictional boundaries that the traffickerscross, it is necessary for PCSO to work in conjunction with other agencies. With the help of theDEA, PCSO has successfully prosecuted numerous defendants in the federal system, which hasseemed to slow these organizations down in the <strong>Polk</strong> and Central Florida area.Strategy 3: Require all deputy sheriffs from each division to complete the on-line MultijurisdictionalCounter Task Force Gang Training during the calendar year.Since being posted on S-14 in 2011, a total of 633 members have successfully completed the class.Supervisors will ensure that all deputies continue to complete the class when appropriate.Strategy 4: Maintain data collection by employing the Jail Information Model as the ManagementAccountability system with all detention facilities in order to gather intelligence and proactivelycontrol criminal activities in the jails.The Department of Detention utilizes the Jail Information Model and Facility Cop to aid inflagging victims of inmate violence. Deputies monitor these identified victims in the hope ofidentifying areas of the facility in which the victims may be placed so that they are less prone tobeing victimized.72


Strategy 5: Conduct countywide PROCAP initiatives on a monthly basis, partnering with alldivisions within the Department of Law Enforcement and Department of Detention.In their effort to prevent PROCAP crimes, Crime Prevention administered 1,345 programsand reached 66,789 individuals. They also distributed crime prevention materials such as apamphlet entitled, “Reduce Opportunity for Crime.”Strategy 6: Streamline the process of analyzing information received and assigned in the CrimeSuppression Center.The <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> Sheriff’s <strong>Office</strong> is in the process of implementing Microsoft Fusion. Thissoftware will aid in disseminating crime information to all agency members in a timely fashion.The Crime Suppression Center has completed Phase One of the project and is currentlyscheduled to be fully completed by March, <strong>2013</strong>.Strategy 7: Target those individuals and areas that are identified on a trend analysis.Dashboard has been implemented and is being used throughout the agency to track crimetrends. The program is utilized during each roll call to assess patterns in criminal activity.Strategy 8: Educate the community about safety and crime prevention practices through thedissemination of information by using partnerships, media, and community presentations.In 2012, Crime Prevention delivered 1,345 programs which reached 66,789 people and made193,383 successful First Call telephone contacts. The PIOs created and distributed 530 newsreleases and Communications staff delivered 52 briefing papers for the Sheriff to use duringradio appearances and interviews.Objective 1.2: Continue to enhance utilization of alternative detention programs thatare aimed at reducing recidivism and subsequent criminal activity.Assigned Responsibility: Department of DetentionStrategy 1: Explore additional faith-based initiatives throughout the state for new programopportunities.PCSO has found that its faith-based initiatives have set the standard that other Florida countiesattempt to follow. PCSO has extended its exploration of additional faith-based initiatives toinclude the state prison system and local non-jail programs to develop a broader array ofprogram opportunities for the inmates of <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong>.On June 20th, Counselor Woolman and Capt. Hohl met with representatives from the Live theLife Organization, Lisa May and Toby Donaldson. They discussed the possibility of implementingthe Live the Life “WAIT” program for the juvenile population. “WAIT” is a sexual abstinence73


and high-risk behavior educational program that encourages juveniles to make better choicesand focus on reaching life goals.Additionally, they discussed two other programs “Adventures in Marriage” and “Parent Talk,”that would be beneficial for adults who are seeking assistance with relational stability and/or parenting. Ms. May stated that they would be willing to offer any programming we wantedand would love to help change the lives of the inmates who are incarcerated in <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong>.Additionally, she stated that she would make contact with their organization leadership in orderto determine the budgetary needs and to see if there would be a need for compensation from thePCSO.Strategy 2: Obtain feedback from program participants and volunteers in order to assess how theprograms can be improved upon.PCSO has been actively securing feedback from the participants of its jail programs to evaluatetheir effectiveness and productivity. Faith-based and JASA participants have expressed positiveand negative concerns about their respective programs. PCSO will continue to utilize the feedbackfrom inmate surveys and informal feedback opportunities in order to ensure the highest qualityof programming.PCSO also receives feedback from program volunteers through informal contact, as well asperiodically scheduled meetings, in order to determine program strengths and weaknesses. Thisprocess creates an environment of partnership between PCSO and the community as we worktogether to serve the inmate population.To date, there are an estimated 170 active program volunteers who serve in all areas of inmateprograms and administrative capacities.Strategy 3: Maintain an active role in the implementation of programs.The Department of Detention has developed the Inmate Educational Program to enhance thequality of life in <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> by providing inmates with the opportunities for positive change andpractical application through academic curriculum founded on values and life skills. GED, CPR,Job Readiness and the Faith-Based component of the Educational Program are operational.Since the program’s inception, the following totals have been recorded:• From 08/08/2012 to 12/31/2012, a total of 102 inmates completed CPR Certificationtraining.• GED preparatory classes are held every Thursday and a total of 18 inmates participated inwriting classes between 08/08/2012 to 12/31/2012. At the request of the volunteer instructor,inmates who want to attend the writing class can do so every six weeks due to the set curriculumby the volunteer instructor. Additionally, one student increased his pre-test GED score from 48%to 92% in nine weeks.74


• Job Readiness Training is conducted every Monday at both jail facilities by <strong>Polk</strong> Works.From 09/10/2012 to 12/31/2012, a total of 104 inmates participated in the four week programand a total of 31 inmates graduated.Strategy 4: Monitor and evaluate the implementation of the HOPE NOW Program and assessthe progress towards program goals.Male Program – Hope Now has 41 men currently in the male program. They have had a totalof 57 male graduates and the success rate for the male program is 67%.Female Program – The female program started November 30, 2011 and there are currently 21women participating, with a total of 5 graduates. The success rate for the women’s programis 100% to date.Objective 1.3: Enhance the agency brand through continual organizational loyalty byproviding customer services and solutions to the citizens of <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> and to otheragency members.Assigned Responsibility: <strong>Office</strong> of Business Affairs / <strong>Office</strong> of Professional Compliance /<strong>Office</strong> of CommunicationsStrategy 1: Continue to educate members on internal and external opportunities to improvecustomer service and provide yearly training to all agency members that provokes organizationalbranding.All members are required to attend the Customer Care class annually, which was titled“We Will Always Answer the Call” in 2012. The class focused on members’ commitment toexcellent customer service in each and every call they respond to. Specifically, members wereencouraged to treat those they interact with according to the Golden Rule (i.e., treat othersas you would want your loved ones to be treated). 48 classes were scheduled in 2012 and allmembers completed the class.Strategy 2: Survey and analyze customer feedback and communicate responses with appropriateareas.The following surveys were conducted and analyzed by the Academy and Member DevelopmentBureau and shared with the Training Advisory Council:<strong>Polk</strong> State CollegeKenneth C. Thompson, Institute of Public SafetyThree Year Customer Survey Summary, 2010-2012• 433 Possible responses• 416 Either Strongly Agreed or Agreed (96.1%)• 7 Disagreed (1.6%)• 10 Non- Applicable (2.3%)75


FDLE Customer Satisfaction SurveyGiven to all agencies in Region VIII in 2011:• 121 Possible responses• 116 Either Strongly Agreed or Agreed (96%)• 3 Acceptable• 2 Disagreed• Two agencies “disagreed” on separate questions– Response: Did not intend to disagree, but agrees.– Response: Misunderstood the question, but agrees.During 2012, the <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> Sheriff’s <strong>Office</strong> Facebook page (managed by the <strong>Office</strong> ofCommunications) made 575 posts aimed at disseminating information and acquiring feedback.Strategy 3: Maximize communication opportunities to inform and educate the community in aneffort to enhance the agency brand.During 2012, the <strong>Office</strong> of Communications posted 1,625 Twitter messages, created 530 newsreleases, sent 75,565 external newsletters, and developed a new social media site on Nixle. The<strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> Sheriff’s <strong>Office</strong> Facebook page had 4.6 million “Friends of Fans,” 29,365 “Fans,”and a 4.4 million “total reach.”Goal 2: The agency will foster and encourage member accountability, proactive choices,and agency involvement.Objective 2.1: Continue to identify, pursue and implement strategies to improve workplacesafety, risk management, and wellness through innovative measures.Assigned Responsibility: <strong>Office</strong> of Business AffairsStrategy 1: Implement strategies for meaningful reward and recognition based upon hours freeof preventable accidents for safety infractions.The Human Resources Division is currently exploring various wellness incentive options. Theywill be presented to Executive Staff for approval at a later date.Strategy 2: Facilitate the construction of a driving pad at the Training Center to improve thedriving capabilities and driving safety of agency members to improve their safety and reducecost/liability.In 2012, three retention ponds were completed and the entire site was cleared and grubbed.Approximately 5,000 loads of fill dirt was brought on site, placed, compacted and tested. Geotestingwas completed to confirm the specifications for fill dirt and compaction. In October 2012,the <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> BoCC returned funds to PCSO for completion of this project in FY 12/13. The<strong>County</strong> is currently working with engineers in developing the scope of work for the remainder of76


the work to be completed. They are also completing the necessary paperwork for the biddingprocess for a construction manager at risk and a contractor.Strategy 3: Work with the <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> BoCC to provide the costs associated with the top fiverisk management factors and costs of work-related injuries to members on a quarterly basis.The Human Resources Division currently receives a detailed monthly report from <strong>Polk</strong><strong>County</strong> BoCC indicating a breakdown of expenses per claim for the calendar year, as well asa quarterly report of the Top 5 cost drivers. Information from these reports is incorporatedinto the bi-weekly 5-Minute Safety trainings.Strategy 4: Analyze data to identify all agency risks and partner with all Departments todetermine training/education needs.An educational survey was developed and distributed to agency members in an effort toimprove higher educational development. The results of this survey aided in the developmentof new educational opportunities with two institutions (i.e., Southeastern Bible College andFlorida Southern).The new ALERT/DART process was implemented, which satisfies the mandatory qualificationneeds of the agency while eliminating overtime hours.Using a PROCAP philosophy, the Training Center has been tracking monthly and yearlyqualification statistics in an effort to improve weapon proficiency, eliminate remediationovertime, eliminate instructor overtime and save on ammunition costs. To date:-We currently have a 6.5% failure rate when analyzing all weapons systems. Last year we didnot include the AR15 in our analysis of qualifications.-Analyzing only the handgun and shotgun (which is what was examined last year), we have a3.2% failure rate. This is a 3.6% decrease from last year’s 6.8% failure rate.-Our decrease in failure rates has reduced our remedial instructor use by 45% (using only 18of 36 instructors that were scheduled) of the original projections.-Changes, such as keeping members isolated to a single range, have decreased our ALERT/DART instructor use by an additional 239 hours (down from 1,200 to 961 and using only 152of 188 instructors that were scheduled). This accounts for a 20% savings in instructor usagefrom the original projections.At the request of the Training Committee, the Training Center created a new AR15 operationseries. This production was completed and is now available on S-14 for review by DLEmembers.77


PCSO’s partnership with the Winter Haven Police Department led to a meeting between trainingpersonnel. This meeting established a training period for a WHPD sergeant, who attended theTraining Center for two weeks during late May and early June.The Business Services Division currently provides emphasis on allmail safety bulletins byreviewing them at Division, Bureau, and Section level meetings. In addition, Fleet Services hasreviewed the hazards of working in a fleet shop and have developed training on various safetytopics which are provided in section safety meetings every two weeks.The Human Resources Division presently reviews all work-related injuries to determine ifpossible preventative measures can be taken to prevent future injuries. They also work withsupervisors and <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> Risk Management whenever a concern arises to ensure all issuesare remedied. Bi-weekly 5-Minute Safety training topics that are based on work-related injurytrends are distributed to department captains to review during briefings/meetings.Objective 2.2: Enhance member familiarization of the agency’s strategic plan, includingthe agency goals, mission, and core values.Assigned Responsibility: <strong>Office</strong> of Professional ComplianceStrategy 1: Develop a concise overview of the agency’s strategic plan for new memberorientation.A PowerPoint presentation is given to all new members during orientation. The presentationreviews PCSO’s mission, values, vision, and goals, as well as provides an overview of thestrategic planning process. A series of strategic planning videos were recently completed andwill be shown during orientation in <strong>2013</strong>.Strategy 2: Provide all new members copies of the agency’s goals and objectives at new memberorientation.All new members receive a pamphlet at orientation which lists the agency goals, objectives,mission, values, and vision. The pamphlet also provides a brief summary of the strategic planningprocess. In addition, new members are directed to access and familiarize themselves with thefull strategic plan on S-14.Strategy 3: Implement a series of retreats for non-Senior Staff members aimed at gaining inputon the agency’s direction, including its goals and objectives.The <strong>Office</strong> of Professional Compliance explored the idea of holding a series of strategic planningretreats and presented their findings to Senior Staff. Senior Staff decided that it would be moreefficient to produce a set of informational videos focusing on strategic planning and agency anddepartment goals. In conjunction with the <strong>Office</strong> of Communications, the <strong>Office</strong> of ProfessionalCompliance completed three videos which will be incorporated into various training classes in<strong>2013</strong>.78


Objective 2.3: Continue to refine the accreditation process to maintain standards ofprofessional excellence.Assigned Responsibility: <strong>Office</strong> of Professional ComplianceStrategy 1: Continue the accreditation process through the National Academies of EmergencyDispatch for the National Academy of Emergency Fire Dispatch accreditation.The Accreditation Unit is currently maintaining files for this program.Strategy 2: Obtain reaccreditation for CALEA, FCAC, and NAEMD.The on-site assessment for the Florida Corrections Accreditation Commission, Inc. (FCAC)was conducted July 18-20, 2012. The agency was in 100% compliance with both applicablemandatory standards and applicable non-mandatory standards; reaccreditation wasawarded on September 25, 2012.The on-site assessment for the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies,Inc. (CALEA) was conducted August 5-8, 2012. The agency was in 100% compliance withthe applicable mandatory standards and 89.6% of other than mandatory standards. Theagency was awarded reaccreditation and accreditation with excellence on November 17,2012.The Accreditation Unit is working in conjunction with members of the TelecommunicationsSection to ensure continued compliance with the National Association of Emergency MedicalDispatch. Reaccreditation for this program will occur in April <strong>2013</strong>.Strategy 3: Pursue “Accreditation with Excellence” status for the agency’s CALEAprogram.The on-site assessment for the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies,Inc. (CALEA) was conducted August 5-8, 2012. The agency was in 100% compliance withthe applicable mandatory standards and 89.6% of other than mandatory standards. Theagency was awarded reaccreditation and accreditation with excellence on November 17,2012.Goal 3: The agency will aggressively and proactively address funding challenges.Objective 3.1: Efficiently deploy and utilize resources.Assigned Responsibility: Department of Law Enforcement / Department of Detention/ <strong>Office</strong> of Business Affairs / <strong>Office</strong> of CommunicationsStrategy 1: Expand the usage of volunteers and reserves to supplement the agencyworkforce.79


In 2012, CAP and non-CAP volunteers donated approximately 135,052 hours. This representsa 25.6% increase from 2011.In the Department of Detention, volunteers are being utilized, where permitted, to assist indaily operations and to serve the inmate population in an effort to reduce reliance on full-timepersonnel. The volunteer base within the Department of Detention has been expanded in thefollowing areas:• Juvenile Alternative Work Program volunteers supervise juveniles at work sites;• The number of Faith-Based volunteers has been increased;• Inmate Educational Program volunteers provide educational tutoring; and• CCJ Administrative volunteers assist the detention counselor in:- The processing of Bible requests;- Delivery of Bibles;-Volunteer file maintenance; and-Sorting and reviewing inmate book cart books.The Volunteer Services Unit has structured a volunteer SSO program to support the Departmentof Law Enforcement when grant funding for SSOs expires. A group of approximately 24volunteers have been selected to take part in the program and are currently undergoing trainingin the classroom setting. These volunteers are expected to proceed to road training early in<strong>2013</strong>. A second group of 15-20 volunteers have also been selected and will begin the first partof training in January <strong>2013</strong>.Strategy 2: Evaluate current expenditures and processes.The Department of Detention continues to look for cost effective strategies and cost cuttingmeasures. A contract was signed with G4S to provide in-county inmate transportation andprovide personnel for hospital watches. Also, a contract was signed with Site Secure to installcameras in specific cells that may reduce the need for certified deputies to watch inmates on aone-on-one basis.The Fiscal Services Division made changes to certain processes and restructured jobs to absorbthe impact of a position cut. Savings were proposed for the 2012-<strong>2013</strong> budget by outsourcingsome detention processes and eliminating expenditures as grants end. Additional court processstaffing changes will save PCSO $75,000.Strategy 3: Identify emerging legislative issues and monitor the impact of proposed bills onagency operations, especially those that may result in unfunded mandates.With the assistance of Ms. Gwinnell Brant and Director Wilder, the Department of Detentioncontinues to follow all legislation that may cause unfunded mandates. A meeting was heldin September which focused on ensuring that the Southern Poverty Law Clinic (SPLC) doesnot successfully lobby for changes to the juvenile standards in Florida Model Jail Standards80


(FMJS) Chapter 20 that may cause unfunded mandates. The FMJS sub-committee meeting wasa success with very few standards being changed. There will be a full committee meeting inFebruary <strong>2013</strong>.Information was provided for presentation at the Florida Sheriff’s Association (FSA) SummerConference opposing the new PREA standards that require ratios of juveniles to staff with ananticipated implementation in 2017. PCSO encouraged all other agencies in attendance tooppose these standards as well. This process is still ongoing.The Fiscal Services Division is currently monitoring the following issues:• The ruling that the 3% FRS employee contribution is unconstitutional in order to determine ifthere will be a budget impact.• Affordable Care Act mandates that could potentially impact on the budget.• Potential legal action against FRS to allow the avoidance of the Health Insurance subsidythat PCSO is currently paying FRS for retired-rehires.• In addition, the Fiscal Services Division monitored several property tax reform amendmentson the November ballot, all of which would have reduced revenue. Had it passed, Amendment4’s property tax limits were estimated to create an impact as severe as those experienced duringthe recession. Amendment 3, which would have artificially capped revenue that governmentscan raise, was estimated to have an impact about half as great as Amendment 4 in reducingrevenue.Objective 3.2: Explore funding and information sources to support current and new agencyinitiatives.Assigned Responsibility: Department of Detention / <strong>Office</strong> of Business Affairs /<strong>Office</strong> ofProfessional ComplianceStrategy 1: Investigate additional contractual opportunities and partnerships with othergovernment/private entities to offset a portion of the agency’s operational costs.Partnerships with the US Marshals Service and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arein place if the opportunity to house their inmates presents itself. Also, some detention processes(i.e., inmate transportation and hospital watches) have been outsourced as a cost savingsmeasure. PCSO has a supplemental contract with Winter Haven for priority use of their trainingfacilities and a supplemental contract with Haines City for IT support. The Training Section hasa partnership with <strong>Polk</strong> State College in regards to their Law Enforcement Academy.Strategy 2: Research and identify new potential grant opportunities and alternative fundingsources that may be outside the mainstream law enforcement sources.The Peace River COOP grant availability was forwarded to Deputy Brandy Stephens, ExplorerAdvisor, for consideration. Subsequently, the program was awarded $6,800. The GrantCoordinator also reviewed a Civilian Marksmanship Program for the program.81


The Peace River COOP grant information was also forwarded to ‘HOPE NOW” and LelandMinistries. In addition, Animal Control received a PetFinder Foundation WHAL Shampoo grantto assist with animal hygiene.Strategy 3: Meet with agency components to identify initiatives that are eligible for potentialgrant funding.The Grant Coordinator met with Sgt. Greg Goreck and secured a FDOT DUI enforcement grantfor $70,000. In addition, the Grant Coordinator discussed with Captain Ray and Lt. Wardseveral Homeland Security grant opportunities, however, it was determined that the agency wasnot eligible to apply for the funding.The Grant Coordinator also met with personnel from Crime Scene, IT, Traffic, OPC, Training,Intelligence, and Detention regarding grant possibilities related to specific topics. The GrantCoordinator additionally met with agency personnel to apply for continued funding for theFederal JAG, VOCA, STOP, and ICAC grants, as well as a new funding opportunity for COPSHiring. The Grant Coordinator also completed and submitted the FDLE JAGC, SCAAP andBulletproof Vest applications.Strategy 4: Coordinate with contracted municipal partners to maintain and identify grants thatwill enhance law enforcement services in these municipalities.The Grant Coordinator discussed with Sgt. Tammy Wagner the funding of a video network systemgrant for the City of Frostproof. The Grant Coordinator also worked with municipal sergeantsto obtain JAGC funding for the 2012-<strong>2013</strong> fiscal year from FDLE. In addition, a FDLE-JAGDgrant application was submitted for the City of Mulberry.Strategy 5: Develop an exit planning strategy related to expiring federal grants, includingidentifying grants worthy of continued funding.The Grant Coordinator has been in discussions with finance personnel regarding the extensionof several grants expected to expire. The SSO recovery grant was extended to June 30, <strong>2013</strong> andthe COPS CHRP was extended to June 30, <strong>2013</strong>. This allows for the maximum funding withinthe time period restraints as established by the granting agency. The 2010 COPS METH grantwas extended to December 15, <strong>2013</strong>. An request to extend the OJJDP gang grant to September30, <strong>2013</strong> was submitted and is pending at this time.Goal 4: The agency will continue to improve advanced technologies to internal andexternal customers while enhancing the organization’s performance through precise datacollection, analysis, and application.Objective 4.1: Increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the agency by integratingcomputer systems.Assigned Responsibility: <strong>Office</strong> of Business Affairs / Department of Law Enforcement /Department of Detention82


Strategy 1: Finalize the implementation of the Records Management model of Tiburonsoftware.Tiburon RMS/ARS is fully implemented at the <strong>Polk</strong> <strong>County</strong> Sheriff’s <strong>Office</strong> and all of the <strong>Polk</strong><strong>County</strong> police departments that were scheduled.Strategy 2: Implement the Human Resources model of the administrative software.An applicant tracking module is in progress with customization requested. ADG has statedthat the enhancements will take several months to implement.Strategy 3: Provide assistance to the Department of Detention in formalizing a plan forselection and implementation of detention management software, including an inmateaccounting software.The Tiburon CMS software package was chosen for the integrated software solution. Aprojected implementation date for the CMS package is estimated in early <strong>2013</strong>. The ITDivision is currently waiting on Tiburon to provide a demonstration of their civil module andwhat services that program solution has to offer. The Guardian RFID solution for Detentionbecame fully operational in 2012.The Fiscal Services Division previewed Trinity’s Inmate Software, an inmate accounting packagethat would be free to PCSO through its inmate commissary provider. The Fiscal ServicesDivision then visited Broward <strong>County</strong> Jail to see the program in operation. Preparationswere being made to visit Escambia Co. Jail to observe Trinity’s intake kiosk solution whenit was determined by Escambia that the kiosk was not meeting their expectations. Trinity iscurrently addressing the issue. While Trinity attempts to rectify the problems, PCSO is in theprocess of gathering information from other vendors as possible alternate solutions.Strategy 4: Continue to explore software options for the Crime Suppression Center to enhancetheir operations through improved data and its communication.Dashboard is being used throughout the agency to track crime trends. The program is utilizedduring each roll call to assess patterns in criminal activity.Strategy 5: Formulate and implement training on all systems to corresponding members.The Guardian RFID system is fully operational. Training was conducted in September 2012Strategy 6:technology.Continue to inform members on the progress of integrated information83

Assigned Responsibility: Department of Law Enforcement / Department of Detention /<strong>Office</strong> of Business Affairs / <strong>Office</strong> of Professional ComplianceStrategy 1: Improve morale by offering additional educational opportunities and benefits to allmembers.Members in leadership positions have looked for opportunities for advanced training coursesthat are being offered locally. This allows members to improve their knowledge and enhancetheir skills without having to stay overnight at hotels, saving the agency money in the process.Furthermore, the Florida Public Safety Institute in Quincy, Florida, offers advanced specialtycourses (many of them traffic-related) and provide lodging and meals which are funded by agrant program that is free to the agency. PCSO has taken advantage of these courses to improvethe professional abilities of its members in specialty positions.The DEA offered their basic narcotics investigations course in Tampa in Spring 2012, whichenabled many of those recently assigned to the Bureau of Special Investigations to attend thecourse without additional costs related to hotel and meal expenses.During FY 11/12, Lieutenant Jerry Connolly and Lieutenant Louis Giampavolo attended theSouthern Police Institute. Additionally, Lieutenant Rodney Chauncey attended the FloridaPolice Chiefs’ future executive course.Despite the budget situation, members still currently enjoy reimbursement for college coursescompleted with an acceptable grade. Also, members who have completed a bachelor’s degree ormaster’s degree receive a monetary incentive.Deputies who reach their tenth year of service at the Sheriff’s <strong>Office</strong> can apply for the MasterDeputy Sheriff designation, which also benefits them financially.PCSO has been partnering with local colleges in order to provide members with discounts and toaccommodate their specific needs. Florida Southern College is now offering entry level collegeclasses during the lunch hour at the main Sheriff’s Operation Center building. Members canattend college classes on their lunch break two to three days a week on or around the noon hour.There are currently 42 members enrolled in the onsite college classes.Strategy 2: Examine the idea of quarterly and annual wellness incentives to promote healthylifestyles.Members who participate in PCSO’s health plan are eligible for $300 in incentives annually.During 2012, the Human Resources Division worked closely with the BoCC Insurance Committeeand implemented a Tobacco/Nicotine premium discount for non-tobacco/nicotine users beginningJanuary 1, <strong>2013</strong>. The Human Resources Division has partnered with Employee Health Servicesin coordinating Cessation classes for our members.86

While the objectives will be different for the new hire mentorship programand the leadership mentoring program, the process will afford every member the opportunity tobenefit from mentoring.Newly hired deputy sheriff trainees are paired with experienced street training instructors assoon as possible to begin their training experience. Though this is not an official “mentoringprogram,” it serves a similar purpose.Strategy 2: Establish internal procedures to identify and train members targeted for promotionand eventual succession.A Special Projects Team is currently working on establishing a General Order designed to detailthe agency’s succession planning program.
