This is being requested in order to continue to provide the best quality law enforcement and the handling of calls for serv.ice that are ever increasing in this area. Should the County Commission allow the Sheriff's Department to open this office, we would recommend for convenience that it be placed in the Sebastian area. This office would service the 5 locations mentioned above. The text of this letter will outline the uses and details of what we believe to be the needs -in justifying the opening of such an office. According to statistics provided by the University of Florida, "Crime in Florida" pages 96 and 97, the total population of Indian River County is 74,162 excluding the incorporated areas. This leaves the Indian River County Sheriff's Department a total of 57,131 people living in the areas that are currently patrolled by my department. There are no substantial figures available, reflecting the exact population in the 5 areas that this office will service, but we believe the population in these areas is substantial enough to warrant its' opening, SPR 17 1 42 soon
