Annual Target

Crime rate

Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) reporting system and methodology on crime rate was changed in 2021 from Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) to National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS). Therefore, the measure is now NIBRS Group A crime rate per 10,000 population.

 

649 783

 

Fire rescue response times

When measuring the effectiveness of fire departments, response times are traditionally a key indicator. A mere few minutes could save a life or reduce the impact of structural damage.   

 

8:20 6:00

 

Police response time (all calls for service)

Response time is when the officer is notified (dispatched) to arrival based on the priority level (1,2,3,4) assigned by the dispatcher and the number of officers in service at that time.
