The Pasco Sheriff’s Office continues to provide the most cost-effective law enforcement services of any Florida agency we have examined, large or small, rural or urban. The above graph shows the top 12 law enforcement agencies in the State, based on the population size of their jurisdictions.
Beginning in December 2008, Pasco Sheriff Bob White directed a reorganization of the agency due to a continuing budgetary shortfall. The focus of the changes were twofold. To increase the number of deputies who are on the street to fight crime, and to lessen the impact of decreased funding that is expected to continue. Local legislators representing Pasco County are in agreement that during challenging economic times, the organizations that are burdened the most are law enforcement and the court system. In total, Sheriff’s White’s reorganization efforts reallocated at least an estimated $750,000, most redistributed to increase front-line law enforcement.
Citizens, government leaders, and personnel from numerous law enforcement agencies paid tribute to Pasco law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty over the last 100 years during the annual memorial ceremony.
