KEEPING THE SHERIFF’S OFFICE FLEET OF CARS ON THE ROADS IS NO SMALL TASK.  BUT RELIABILITY IS CRITICAL WHEN A DEPUTY GETS A CALL.

BUT RIGHT NOW, MORE THAN HALF THE OCSO FLEET HAS MORE THAN 100,000 MILES ON IT.  FLEET IS WORKING TO MILK EVERY LAST MILE OUT OF THE CARS BECAUSE REPLACING VEHICLES HAS BEEN ON HOLD IN RECENT YEARS DUE TO LACK OF FUNDING. EVEN WITH AN INCREASE, THIS YEAR’S BUDGET IS ABOUT 1.8 MILLION DOLLARS LESS THAN THE OCSO WAS OPERATING ON IN 2007 – EVEN THOUGH CALLS FOR SERVICE, THE PERMANENT POPULATION, THE TOURIST POPULATION, AND THE COST OF EVERYTHING FROM FUEL TO INSURANCE HAS DONE NOTHING BUT CLIMB. (USE OVERALL BUDGET SLIDE) 
AS A PUBLIC SERVICE THAT OPERATES 24/7/365, THE OCSO NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO REPLACE ABOUT SIXTY CARS A YEAR. 
2:31 we’re 155 cars with more than 100,000 miles…the average car is $20,604…just regarding vehicles. 3:05
ANOTHER PRIORITY IS REPLACING THE CAR’S AGING IN-CAMERA VIDEO SYSTEM WITH SMALLER, CHEAPER, MORE ADVANCED BODY CAM TECHNOLOGY.

THOSE SYSTEMS WILL BE PHASED IN OVERTIME.
