One of the most diverse divisions at the Sheriff’s Office is Staff Services, which includes everything from keeping our patrol cars on the road and in good working order to ensuring weapons and uniforms are on hand and ready for new hires.  Crime analysis, Records and Transcribing are also under the Staff Services Division.

The Fleet Maintenance Section maintains all agency vehicles.   Three full-time mechanics perform preventative maintenance daily on the agency’s fleet, which includes automobiles, boats and specialty equipment.  In addition to auto repair, these men can fabricate, weld and tackle most major repairs when needed.

The Purchasing Unit maintains ample law enforcement supplies for the troops, and the Inventory and Property Unit conducts an annual inventory of issued equipment.

The Records Unit has offices in Inverness and Crystal River. Records personnel are responsible for the dispersal and filing of all incoming reports and paperwork as well as overseeing the retention and disposal of records. Other functions include maintaining files on law enforcement cases. Records employees assist the public with local criminal background checks, copies of reports and data entry of traffic citations. Personnel assist victims, witnesses and others seeking information contained in central record files, which are released in accordance with the public records law. The Records staff is responsible for Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR), which is the process of submitting all Citrus County crime statistics to the FBI on an annual and semi-annual basis.

The agency's Transcription Unit is compromised of 11 employees who are responsible for typing offense reports into the records management system. The unit operates 24 hours a day 7 days a week. This function allows deputies, detectives or any officer the ability to phone in reports to an operator directly from the field. The benefits of this system are more accurate reports, timely statistics, management information and easier computer access to law enforcement reports. One major goal of the employees of this unit is to reduce the amount of time an officer spends on paperwork.

Buildings and grounds are kept clean and maintained by our Building Maintenance Section, which also assists all divisions with special projects.
