Interstate 75 meanders down the gulf coast of Florida until it makes a sharp right angle where it continues on to the eastern coast of the state in Fort Lauderdale. The town situated on that bend is where the Naples Florida police maintain the highest standards in law enforcement. The department has achieved the honor of being accredited by the law enforcement commission.
The town is a mixture of residential areas, vineyards and nature preserves and parks. It has more people per square mile than the state as a whole, but that can be attributable to vast areas of land that are uninhabitable, like swamps and everglades. It has a slightly lower population density than Tallahassee, the state capital.
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.
Free health and safety fairs are also held in the community. Businesses get together and offer resources at a single location. The humane society have a mobile unit where people can adopt pets (recognized for their health benefits). Children can get a free dental examination, too.
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.
