Communication, Traffic, Crime Prevention, Youth Programs and Community Outreach.Those were the countywide priorities community members set for CCSO on Saturday when they met with Sheriff Kevin J. Rambosk.
The session was a wrap-up following six community meetings Sheriff Rambosk hosted around the county. His goal: to partner with community members and ask for their input as the agency prepares to craft its strategic plan for the coming year.
During Saturday’s meeting community members broke out into six groups and collaborated with CCSO members representing the district where they live. CCSO is divided into six districts: North Naples, Golden Gate, East Naples, Golden Gate Estates, Everglades City and Immokalee.
After brainstorming in groups for nearly an hour, Sheriff Rambosk stood at the front of the room and wrote as a representative from each group read off his team’s top five priorities. The results were strikingly similar.
Sheriff Rambosk promised audience members that the work they invested into crafting the priority list was time well spent.
“The next thing you may be asking yourself is whether we are going to follow up and make these things happen,” he said. “I think we have to.”
Community members will continue to meet with representatives from their CCSO districts over the next few weeks to set more localized priorities to address issues in various areas of the county.
