What difference can the right leadership and team make?

The transformational leadership of Sheriff Rick Staly and the dedication and hard work of the entire team have enabled the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office to experience unprecedented and historic achievements.

Imagine your team going to #1 on all major metrics in just 8 years and being continually recognized both nationally and statewide for their accomplishments.

This means winning national, statewide, and regional awards for technology, victim’s services, traffic safety, your K-9 Unit, innovation at your jail, and best places to work and members of your team being singled out as the best statewide several times which is almost unheard of for a single Sheriff’s Office to be able to do.  This results in your team continually being asked by others for advice on how to excel in community trust and accountability, analytics, accreditation, training, crime-reduction, and preventing domestic violence.   Knowing their reputation for best practices and model programs, the FCSO keeps winning major federal grants and new opportunities for state funding.

Crime has been reduced by 50% to a 25-year low.

The Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention facility attained statewide accreditation for the first time in its history and recently received national accreditation for its health care making the FCSO a Five Diamond organization in holding several major and prestigious state and national professional accreditations.

An innovative program of deputies monitoring juveniles on probation ensures a 96% compliance rate preventing and reducing juvenile crime.

An independent panel of experts with the Daytona News-Journal has twice named the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office one The Ten Best Places To Work in Flagler and Volusia Counties.

The FCSO had already met or exceeded all principles and policies for best practices in law enforcement to ensure citizen trust, transparency and accountability recommended by the Florida Police Chiefs Association (FPCA) and major national organizations well before many other organizations in America did.

Community support is very strong.  92,000 or 71% of the county’s 130,000 residents follow the FCSO’s Facebook page demonstrating a high level of citizen engagement. 95% of the residents of the City of Palm Coast regularly report in the city’s annual citizen survey that they feel safe.  Thousands of citizens call, email, and post to express their gratitude and dozens of small businesses and families regularly bring by meals to share their appreciation with the FCSO team.

Under the transformational leadership of Sheriff Rick Staly, the FCSO team has proven that an organization can become a national and statewide model.
