This is being requested in order to <br />continue to provide the best quality law enforcement and the <br />handlipg of calls for service that are ever increasing in this <br />area. <br />Should the County Commission allow the Sheriff's Department to <br />open this office, we would recommend for convenience that it be <br />placed in the Sebastian area. This office would service the 5 <br />locations mentioned above. The text of this letter will outline <br />the uses and details of what we believe to be the needs.in <br />justifying the opening of such an office. <br />According to statistics provided by the University of Florida, <br />"Crime in Florida" pages 96 and 97, the total -population of, <br />Indian River County is 74,162 excluding the incorporated areas. <br />This leaves the Indian River County Sheriff's Department_ a total <br />of 57,131 people living in the areas that are currently patrolled <br />by my department. <br />There are no'substantial figures available, reflecting the exact <br />population i'n the 5 areas that this office will service; but we <br />believe the population in these areas is substantial enough to <br />warrant its' opening. <br />Sebastian and the other mentioned areas are desirable, coastal <br />cities attracting people daily who become new residents. During <br />the last year in the unincorporated areas, the population <br />increased from 46,567 to the now 57,131 or approximately a 22.69% <br />increase. <br />The areas that this office hopes to serve represent a total of <br />about 53% of calls for service during the first 3 1/2 months of <br />24 <br />
