Naples Florida Police - Ethics, Service, Quality

By Jony Mozen


Naples on the Gulf, as the town's nickname says, is located on the gulf coast of Florida, where Interstate 75/Hwy 93 forms a right angled bend where it leads to Ford Lauderdale on the Atlantic Ocean side of the state. The Naples Florida Police are accredited by the Commission for Law Enforcement Accreditation. This honor is official confirmation that the force maintains the highest standards of professionalism in upholding the law.

The population density for the state as a whole is approximately 353 people per square mile. Tallahassee, the state capital, houses around 1,800 per square mile. Naples, with its combination of parks and nature reserves, urban estates and vineyards, is home to 1,600 per square mile.

Taking a look at the demographics of the town, it appears to be a very popular place to retire. Roughly 43 percent of the population are 65 years or older. The median age is 61. On paper, anyway, this looks like it is also an ideal location for the purpose of husband-hunting. For every female over the age of 18, there are 84 males.

Is it safe? Well, you are thrice as likely to be the victim of a violent crime elsewhere in the state (1 in 250 chance) than you are in this seaside community (1 chance in 630). Murder is virtually non-existent, and rates for robbery, rape and assault are notably lower than the United States as a whole.

How does local law enforcement keep the public safe? By emphasizing ethics, service and quality. The Boats on the Beach program enables citizens to store their non-motorized sea-going vessels at one of five sand locations. A nominal yearly fee is payable for the privilege.

The sheriff's office for Collier County also contributes to community safety. Through Smart 911, it is possible for citizens to create a safety profile that makes it possible for emergency responders to get up to date information about callers' medical conditions, medicines they are taking, how to get in touch with emergency contact and other important information about the rest of the family, pets included! The dispatcher has instant access to this information when they get a 911 call.

Also at the health and safety fairs, children may receive a free dental examination from the Tooth Fairy, courtesy of the mobile sponsored by Ronald McDonald Care. The local humane society turn up with their mobile adoption unit, so families and seniors can adopt a health-giving pet if they want.

With the town's close location right on the shoreline, water safety is a major factor in maintaining order and keeping people out of trouble. One way this is achieved is through the annual police and fire academy, where kids learn about the benefits of joining the fire and police departments as a career. They are taught about everything from water safety rescues to boat safety, basic first aid and fire extinguisher training. They also get to view demos by the K-9 unit and special ops teams.
