Dear Commissioners:
I am submitting the budget certification for fiscal year 2025 in the amount of$266,452,100 to fund the services
provided by the Collier County Sheriffs Office including Law Enforcement and Community Services, the County Jail,
Court Security and Public Safety Communications,as required by F.S. Chapter 30.49(2)(a).

Our budgetary needs are driven by economic circumstances of increased costs of human capital, operations, and
equipment. Our budget for fiscal year 2025 represents just a 6.48%increment over our fiscal year 2024 budget. ~5
r•a
The dedication and commitment of the professional men and women of the Collier County Sheriffs Office enables us •=
to provide needed services for the community. Like many quality organizations, challenges are numerous in the `-=.
recruitment and retention of our vital members, especially in attracting and retaining the level of professionalism we -C'
have established in order to maintain the quality of life in Collier County. It is imperative that we remain competitive in r,
the employment market and to address the increases in the cost of living.This increased budget is primarily driven by '='
1?
an adjustment in pay structure that reflects our best efforts to stay current and meet these significant challenges.We `�
must remain competitive in this ever-changing market.As we monitor the market and If it becomes apparent that we 1_D
are not able to do so, I will request additional resources beyond this FY25 budget to address pay structure. $i
We have been able to maintain a high level of service to our community despite rising costs to our operation. Historic
levels of inflation and supply chain issues will continue to have a direct and material impact to the general operations
of the agency.Technology is a significant factor for our mission and staying at the forefront of ever changing
technological advancements also impacts our budget. We continue to make progress on replenishing capital
equipment that was deferred during the lean years, however,the pace of that replenishment is constrained with each
year's budget.
We continue to provide excellence in service and programs for our youth, citizens and visitors who enjoy this beautiful
County. We are holding the line on crime in our community and boast one of the lowest crimes rates in the entire
state. In fact, our crime rate is the lowest it has been since recording of crimes per population began in 1971.We are
honored that US News&World Report deemed our community the safest in the United States.
On behalf of the Collier County Sheriff's Office, I would like to thank you for your ongoing and continuing support of
public safety. The quality of life and levels of safety in our community are unique, revered and expected by our
residents and visitors. It is an integral part of what makes Collier County a great place and a safe place.
Respectfully submitted,
