In addition to the existing district sergeant during the day and night shifts, the exclusive
FWB patrol deputies will be augmented by the adjacent unincorporated zone units
within the district. This augmentation provides addition aI capability when calls for
service exceed patrol capabilities. As an example in 201140% of the calls for service
within the corporate limits of the City of Destin were answered by deputies assigned to
adjacent unincorporated zones. The sheriffs office staffs patrol functions with a 12 hour
shift alignment. Patrol unit allocation will be 5 patrol deputies each on day and night
shift supervised by the existing district sergeant; the split shift will have 4 additional
patrol deputies along with a split shift sergeant exclusively assigned to the city.
Patrol zone designations are indicated in this diagram:

The proposed staffing model from the sheriff will provide one patrol deputy for each of
the four patrol zones with an additional patrol deputy as a rover. These patrol deputies
are exclusively assigned to the city. This configuration will provide a dedicated 24/ 7
patrol unit in the Kenwood section of the city. Specific zone boundaries in the southern

main) portion of the city will be based on factors including call volumes which the
sheriff' s office did not have available for this proposal.
This proposal also included exclusive sworn personnel for the Investigative, Street
Crimes, and Community Policing functions. There will be 4 investigators assigned
exclusively to city cases that will be augmented by the OCSO supervisory structure as
well as the many specialized investigative services performed by the sheriff' s office.
There will be 2 deputies assigned to the City as Street crimes units that will be
augmented by the OCSO street crimes unit.
There will be 2 community policing deputies assigned exclusively to the city. Crime
Prevention duties will fall under the OCSO award winning crime prevention program
which will include an additional crime prevention specialist due to the city contract.
Community Redevelopment Area law enforcement will remain the same with 5
exclusively assigned deputies providing the exact same mission currently provided by
the Police Departments CRA mission.
CONCLUSION
This law enforcement services proposal is an attempt to provide a complete and concise
representation of how the Okaloosa County Sheriff' s Office would provide services to
the City of Fort Walton Beach as a contractual service provider. Every attempt has been
made to restrict this proposal to proven information and logical data collection
methods. Prior to the submission of this proposal many differing opinions have been
reported in the media and from individuals with some direct or indirect interest in this
issue. Many of these opinions are not based on facts, or through diligent research of
the issues involved. Sheriff Ashley and the members of the Okaloosa County Sheriff' s
Office stand readyto provide city residents, city staff and the city council with any
relevant information not found to be in this proposal package.
