Add to staff: Law Enforcement Officer

The Police Department is currently budgeted for 221 Police Officers who provide the community with a variety of services including but not limited to law enforcement services, mental health services, special events, and community outreach services. Over the past few years, the time that police department personnel have spent providing these services has increased while the amount of time officers spent on proactive enforcement and crime prevention has decreased. Moreover, with the City’s plans to develop residential and commercial projects increase the demand on police department services. Response times to both priority and non-priority calls will also increase. The additional personnel will enable the department to continue its community services that make Coral Springs a premier community.
