BUNNELL, FL – On Monday, Sheriff Rick Staly and the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office buried two time capsules at the new Flagler County Sheriff’s Operations Center.
“I think history is important. It shows where you have come from and where you’re going,” said Sheriff Rick Staly. “What’s better than a time capsule to commemorate the opening of this beautiful building that will serve our county for decades to come. It would be interesting to see how different the world will be 50 years from now.”
Sheriff Staly buried two time capsules on either side of the Flagler County Sheriff’s Law Enforcement Memorial.
The “FCSO Centennial Time Capsule” is set to be opened on July 9th, 2067. The opening date coincides with the agency’s 150th anniversary and it includes items from FCSO’s 100th anniversary in 2017, such as:

The second time capsule, the “FCSO Operations and District 3 Time Capsule”, is to be opened on November 7th, 2072. The opening date coincides with the 50th anniversary of the Dedication Ceremony for the new Sheriff’s Operations Center and District 3 building, which was held on November 7th, 2022.
