INCUMBENT RICK STALY WINS FLAGLER COUNTY SHERIFF RACE

November 3, 2020 – The Daytona Beach News-Journal

Incumbent Sheriff Rick Staly defeated Democratic candidate Larry Jones in the
general election Tuesday for Flagler County Sheriff. Out of the 69,758 votes
cast, Staly earned 70% while Jones earned 30%.

Staly became the Flagler County Sheriff on Nov. 18, 2016, and was sworn-in as
Flagler County’s 18th Sheriff on Jan. 3, 2017. Staly has been in law enforcement
since 1975 and joined the Flagler County Sheriff’s office in 2013.

STALY WINS RE-ELECTION

Sheriff Rick Staly won his second term with 70 percent of the vote. Staly spoke
about the election in general this afternoon, applauding Flagler County and Palm
Coast for maintaining calm and going about campaigning and voting without any of
the feared disruptions that augured Election Day. And he spoke about his own
successes.

“This is a great community, they obviously want to voice their opinion but
they’ve done it for the most part respectful and peaceful of each other’s
opinions, even if they disagree,” Staly said. “A few exceptions obviously, and
as you know we’ve had some signs vandalized, stolen, I’ve had some of my signs
stolen, although I’m hoping they didn’t just steal from someone’s yard, they
wanted it for their yard. You never know. But I think the community’s done well.
I think we as an agency have handled the election very professional. Last three
and three quarter years, we’ve done an amazing job for the community. Crime is
way down. So yeah, I’m feeling pretty good, but I’ve got a great crew of
volunteers that are very dedicated, out at the voting sites for the last two
weeks[and] obviously today. I get to lead an amazing team that’s delivered for
this community.”

Staly said fund-raising was a lot easier than what he described as the
“spirited” election of 2016, when he was one of six candidates vying for the
Republican primary, winning it by five points but less than 40 percent, and
drafting what now amounts to an email list of 100 volunteers was easier this
time around. At his victory party he was expecting community members,
volunteers, elected officials.

The sheriff was holding his celebration party at Beachfront Grille in Flagler
Beach, the same place where he held his 2016 victory party. “I wouldn’t say I’m
superstitious, but I don’t want to change success, and it’s just a nice
location,” Staly said, enabling inside and outside socializing. Live music was
already scheduled.

“We’re encouraging social distancing, encouraging wearing a mask, but we’re not
mandating it, it’s optional in there,” the sheriff said. “I think there’ll be a
lot of employees tonight, which you didn’t see in the past, you know, employees
that supported me, their union endorsed me. So I think there’s a lot of
excitement from my campaign from within and in the community.” He said he could
depend on a cross-section of supports from both parties. Six to seven weeks ago,
an internal poll showed him up 42 points over Jones, he said.

Staly spoke with his wife Debbie at his side. “I support him totally, he does a
really good job. He’s always out in the community,” she said. “I don’t see him
very much, but that’s OK. That’s what we signed up for.”

“She’s already told me I can go for 2024 if I want,” Staly said. “I live in this
community too, I want a safe community also,” Debbie Staly said.

PALM COAST OBSERVER ENDORSES SHERIFF RICK STALY FOR RE-ELECTION

“I endorse Sheriff Rick Staly for re-election. When comparing my position to the
position of the two candidates in this race, I clearly am aligned with Sheriff
Rick Staly. The reduction of our crime rate speaks volume about Sheriff Staly’s
effectiveness in law enforcement. His staff and leadership are diverse. If you
think calling the jail the Green Roof Inn is demeaning to inmates, then don’t be
an inmate! I confronted Sheriff Staly on his budget request claiming any
increase was unnecessary but changed my mind when I learned that the investments
in technology and personnel development must continue. Our community witnessed
the effective deployment of community policing several weeks ago when our
community demonstrated and protested against social injustice without any
incident of violence. Rick Staly is a top cop and should be re-elected as
Flagler County Sheriff.” – John Walsh, Publisher, Palm Coast Observer

OPINION: POLICE HIRING SHOULD REFLECT DIVERSITY

THE DAYTONA BEACH NEWS JOURNAL ONLINE – August 12, 2020, 7:00 PM

Recent unrest in cities across the nation proves that there’s still a long way
to go in healing rifts between communities and police agencies. Modern
law-enforcement departments have been working diligently to bridge these gaps,
and one of the most successful strategies has been to recruit and promote
officers who reflect the racial and cultural atmosphere in the communities they
serve.

Give local departments — particularly, the DeLand and Daytona Beach police
departments, and sheriff’s offices in Flagler and Volusia counties — credit for
pushing hard to recruit more minorities into police work. But a recent
investigation by The News-Journal’s Frank Fernandez reveals that even among
agencies making the strongest efforts, progress is hard to come by. Few
communities have enough minority police officers to reflect the ethnic and
racial breakdowns of the municipalities or counties they serve.

In fact, as tensions mount, spurred by a string of deaths of Black people at the
hands of police, it’s getting harder — both to recruit minority officers, and to
work as a Black or Latino officer in communities newly suspicious of police.

The tipping point was, of course, the May 25 death of George Floyd at the hands
of Minneapolis police. Nearly eight minutes of video documented an officer
kneeling on Floyd’s neck, and too many Black Americans saw their own experience
reflected in the impassive indifference of officers as Floyd pleaded for his
life.

The incident — one of several in recent years — hit hard across the nation. And
its aftermath will linger, making minority recruitment even more difficult in
coming years.

Even before that, recruitment was becoming tougher, Volusia County Sheriff Mike
Chitwood told Fernandez: “The number of African Americans who take the
certification exam has dropped every year despite our recruiting efforts,
despite our scholarships, despite everything that we are doing,” Chitwood said.

But police agencies must keep pushing, adapting strategies from more successful
departments.

There are a few built-in barriers. The first is salary, a particularly difficult
problem for agencies serving small cities with restricted tax bases. Across the
nation, many agencies are also plagued with complaints about institutional
racism inside their own ranks — though Fernandez didn’t uncover any complaints
about that locally.

There are also strategies that work. One option that area agencies have
employed, with some success, is to work through public schools to build a better
understanding of law enforcement as a career, promoting internships and
ride-along opportunities to middle- and high-school students. Flagler County
Sheriff Rick Staly has worked with the local NAACP as well as Bethune-Cookman
University to help in his recruitment efforts, and they’ve borne fruit: In
Flagler County, Black deputies make up 8.9 percent of the department’s sworn
officers, which comes close to reflecting the county’s overall racial makeup.

Other agencies aren’t doing as well. Across Volusia and Flagler counties,
Fernandez found five agencies who had no black officers at all.

Despite discouraging trends, local agencies shouldn’t give up. The potential
payoff — in community connections, increased public safety and decreased
tensions — is worth the effort.

CRIME REDUCED 47% IN FLAGLER COUNTY SINCE 2016, LOWEST CRIME RATE IN 25 YEARS

FCSO PRESS RELEASE July 24, 2020

BUNNELL, FL: The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO) submitted crime
statistics for the first six months of 2020 to the Florida Department of Law
Enforcement (FDLE) as required by law semi-annually. Crime is down 24.9% in 2020
compared to the same time period in 2019.

Crime continues to fall in Flagler County and is at the lowest crime rate the
county has seen in 25 years when its population was just 40,259 residents. In
the first six months of 2020 overall crime is down 24.9% when compared to the
same time frame in 2019.

Since 2016, total index offenses in the jurisdiction of the FCSO are down 47%
with a clearance rate of 35%. Property Crime, which includes Burglary, Larceny
and Motor Vehicle Theft, is down 52.5% and Violent Crime, which includes Murder,
Rape, Robbery and Aggravated Assault, is down 11% overall.

“Our crime reduction strategies work,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. “Total crime in
Flagler County is down 47% since I became your Sheriff in 2017 because we have
implemented a number of new and successful initiatives. We focus on the small
number of career criminals committing most of the crimes. We arrest these
criminals and put them in jail where they cannot prey on our community.
Criminals outside of our county are learning to not commit crimes here as they
are quickly arrested. We have a phenomenal team that I am very proud of who
comes to work every day with one mission in mind: to keep our community a safe
place to live, work, and visit.”

Many programs and initiatives implemented over the past three years have aided
in the record-breaking reduction in crime. The FCSO employs real time crime
analysis, the latest technology, community and business partnerships, a strong
program of teaching citizens how to keep their property safe, a district
policing model, inmate rehabilitation initiatives, probation checks for adults
and juveniles, and uses a guardianship policing philosophy, where we provide law
enforcement services with the community. Our programs also include a dedicated
P.A.C.E. team focused on problem areas and problem crimes, a more systematic
Traffic Unit to perform traffic enforcement in high crash locations and
complaint areas, the S.T.R.I.D.E. program in the jail to help set inmates up for
success and on the right track upon release, the S.W.E.A.T. program that takes
potentially troubled youth and shows them the path they are headed down if they
don’t turn their lives around, and a robust communications platform to
proactively communicate crime prevention information and engage the community.

The preliminary statistics reported to FDLE will be reviewed and verified before
being formally distributed and posted on the FDLE website in the future. FDLE
began tracking crime statistics in 1971.

DON’T LET SEX OFFENDERS HIDE FROM REGISTRATION

GUEST OPINION COLUMN – DAYTONA BEACH NEWS-JOURNAL, 05/08/2020

by SHERIFF RICK STALY

For years, the state of Florida has required convicted sex offenders by law to
register when they move into and live in your neighborhood. This statutory
provision has served Floridians well by enabling both law enforcement and
citizens to know about the presence and location of convicted sex offenders in
their communities. Unfortunately, a newly discovered legal loophole is being
exploited by convicted sex offenders and their defense attorneys to avoid
registering when they move into Florida communities.

Recently, the 2nd District Court of Appeals considered the case of a convicted
sex offender in Hillsborough County who had failed to register after being
released from the Florida Department of Corrections after completing his prison
sentence. The offender had been sentenced to 15 years and fined $10,000. He and
his defense attorney’s claimed that under the law, as it is currently written,
he did not need to register since he had not completed his sentence. His
sentence included both incarceration for 15 years in state prison and payment of
a $10,000 fine. He served the time but never paid the fine and likely won’t.
Using a creative defense his attorney exploited a loophole. The appellate court,
looking at the literal language of the law and not the intent of the law, agreed
with the defense and the court held the convicted sex offender did not have to
register as a sex offender because he never “completed his sentence” when he
failed to pay the $10,000 fine.

The intent of the current law is clear – sex offenders must register with the
local sheriff. However, without action, the crazy result of this court ruling is
sex offenders across Florida could avoid registering their presence in our
neighborhoods as long as they never pay their fines. This is a double travesty
of justice – they are legally allowed to hide who they are and where they live
if they don’t pay their fines, which most Department of Corrections offenders do
not pay up. This ruling puts our communities and children at risk by allowing
convicted sex offenders to roam our communities unregistered and unknown to law
enforcement and neighbors. This is totally unacceptable and handcuffs law
enforcement from keeping sex offenders from preying on communities.

As sheriff, I have contacted the Florida Sheriff’s Association and our local
representatives, State Sen. Travis Hutson and State Rep. Paul Renner so we can
fix the law. All have agreed this fix needs to happen as soon as possible and I
pledge to do everything I can to do just that. I am asking our community and our
Florida lawmakers to join us in returning the law to its original intent. With
this needed change, law enforcement and citizens will always have the
opportunity to know about convicted sex offenders in their community. This
reform law would help ensure a safer Florida for our children and families and
hold sex offenders accountable for their criminal deviant behavior.

Staly is the sheriff of Flagler County.

SHERIFF STALY AND FCSO RECEIVED REGIONAL GOVERNMENT AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE IN
PUBLIC SAFETY

PRESS RELEASE 12/07/2019

BUNNELL, FL: The Northeast Florida Regional Council (NEFRC) has named Sheriff
Staly and the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO) winner of the Leadership
Award for Excellence in Public Safety.

The FCSO was nominated for the award by Flagler County Administrator Jerry
Cameron for making Flagler County’s Streets and Community Safer using
cutting-edge technology. The nomination highlighted the use of Rapid-ID, a
secure digital fingerprint capture device that, along with software, runs the
unknown individual’s fingerprints against the state and federal database of
prior arrests and those with outstanding warrants, that has been implemented
since Sheriff Staly was elected. In this case, if a warrant exists, the name and
pertinent information is displayed to the deputy in the field or the
individual’s real name is provided.

The award also highlighted the use of Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR)
technology in Flagler County. The Sheriff’s Office is able to add license plate
information to the system to assist with the location of persons of interest, as
well as silver alerts. By using ALPR’s deputies have located criminals who have
been on the fugitives for years and arrested the. This technology has directly
led to a 212% increase in the recovery of stolen vehicles in 2019 and the
apprehension of the suspects and missing individuals.

Finally, under Sheriff Staly’s technology vision FCSO is implemented
vehicle-based camera systems in patrol vehicles. This system integrates the
existing body cameras deputies are currently issued, and provides better
information leading to stronger arrests and citations, as well as enhanced
investigations. Sheriff Staly is also implementing a Real Time Crime Center.

“It is always an honor when government colleagues recognize your vision and
success to make our community safer,” said Sheriff Staly. “Our team does a great
job and the technology we have implemented since I’ve been Sheriff simply aids
in their efforts to protect our citizens and the Flagler County community. It
was my honor to accept this award on behalf of the hard working and dedicated
men and women of the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office that I have the honor to
lead. This new technology has aided in us in reducing crime in Flagler County by
over 25% since 2017 and traffic fatalities by over 42%.”

FLAGLER SHERIFF RICK STALY: PROGRESS ON CONFRONTING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

PROGRESS BEGINS WHEN COMMUNITIES DECIDE A SERIOUS SOCIAL PROBLEM IS NOT
ACCEPTABLE

GUEST OPINION COLUMN – DAYTONA BEACH NEWS-JOURNAL, 10/27/2019

by SHERIFF RICK STALY

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and in Flagler County we are
reducing domestic violence. Cases of domestic violence in Flagler County are
down 7.1% and violations of domestic violence injunctions have decreased by
55.7% in Flagler County in 2019. How did this happen?

Progress beginds when communities decide a serious social problem is not
acceptable. In June 2017, 55 community partners met to form our first
ever-Domestic Violence Task Force in Flagler County. Our team united leaders
from social services, mental health/medical services, education, faith-based
services, and criminal justice for a comprehensive analysis and understanding of
the problem.

In October 2017, we produced a community-driven plan based upon nationally
recognized best practices involving strategies, technology along with grant
funding – tools all aimed at increasing public awareness, educating and holding
offenders accountable to decrease domestic violence overall. For accountability,
we regularly meet and analyze results of our new system-wide approach.

Grant funding from the Florida Coalition Against Domestic Violence now makes it
possible for us to have a dedicated detective and crime analyst, community
education and technology to aid investigations.

Monitoring offenders with electronic GPS ankle bracelets, which alert law
enforcement if offenders should attempt to get near victims or tamper with the
device, and swift accountability for those in violation of court orders is
effective. And, the offenders pay for the cost of this monitoring instead of the
taxpayer.

Victims now know they have a community-wide system in place that puts their
protection first.

One victim is one victim too many but together, our community is making real
progress on domestic violence.

Rick Staly, Bunnell

Staly is sheriff of Flagler County. If you or someone you know is a victim of
domestic violence, call the state Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-500-1119.
