Set for 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 4, at the Starbucks located 8867 Immokalee Road #101, Golden Gate Estates, the event will provide deputies and members of the community with the opportunity to come together to discuss community issues, build relationships and share some coffee.<br /><br />
Coffee with a Cop provides a unique opportunity for community members to ask questions and learn more about the agency’s work. Coffee with a Cop also allows for relaxed, one-on-one interaction between deputies and members of the community.<br /><br />
Coffee with a Cop is a national initiative supported by The United States Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services. Similar events are being held across the country, as local police departments strive to make lasting connections with the communities they serve.<br /><br />
The program aims to advance the practice of community policing by building relationships between police officers and community members one cup of coffee at a time.<br />

deputies searched over the weekend by air, on foot, and on swamp buggies and
ATVs. CCSO’s K-9 Unit and Dive Team also searched. The Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Commission, Collier County Emergency Management and local
fire departments provided additional personnel and equipment. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">The Collier
County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help in identifying two men
who detectives want to question in connection with a pair of recent burglaries
in Golden Gate.<br /><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Detectives
have released surveillance video images of the men during each of the
burglaries in the hope someone will recognize them and contact the Sheriff’s
Office.<br /><br /><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Detectives
say the pair burglarized the tiki bar at the Quality Inn & Suites Golf
Resort, 4100 Golden Gate Parkway sometime between 12:30 a.m. and 7 a.m. on July
23. Three televisions and three remote controls were reported stolen. <br /><br /><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The men are
also suspects in a burglary at the clubhouse at The Club at Olde Cypress, 7165
Treeline Drive. Three iPads and two autographed University of Michigan
footballs were reported stolen during the burglary, which occurred sometime
between 9 p.m. on Aug. 31 and 2:42 a.m. on Sept. 1.<br /><br /><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In order to
achieve accreditation _ a highly prized recognition of law enforcement
professional excellence, the CCSO Communications Bureau was required to
demonstrate full compliance with 212 state-of-the-art performance standards. Compliance
with the performance standards was verified through a file review and on-site
assessment by a CALEA-certified public safety practitioner in April. The public
was invited to offer comments in writing or by telephone about CCSO’s ability
to meet the standards.</span></div>

Director Chris Gonzalez noted that while the Communications Bureau was

recently completed the conversion to a new 911 system. <br /><br /><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“This

<div class="MsoNormal">

accreditation performance standards focused on four areas of responsibility:

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">CALEA
accreditation requires a communications enter to develop a comprehensive and
well thought out uniform set of written directives. It also requires a
preparedness program be put in place, so a communications center is ready to
address natural or manmade unusual occurrences.<br /><br /><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Accreditation
is for three years, during which the Sheriff’s Office must submit annual
reports attesting to continued compliance with those standards under which it
was reaccredited. <br /><br /><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Since the

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Some local
media outlets are questioning whether the Collier County Sheriff’s Office is
sharing information about suspicious encounters between children and strangers
too quickly.<br /><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
inquiries came after an investigation determined that an Aug. 24 encounter
between an adult motorist and a boy on 44th Terrace Southwest in Golden Gate was
a misunderstanding. The encounter took place around 8:30 a.m. as the
10-year-old boy was riding his bike to Golden Terrace Elementary School. The
man stopped his car beside the boy and spoke to him in both English and Creole.
The boy believed the man was trying to lure him into the car and reported the
incident to the school staff.<br /><br /><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">CCSO issued
a press release and a composite sketch of the adult in question at 3:45 p.m.
the same day. The release asked that anyone with information contact the
Collier County Sheriff’s Office or Crime Stoppers of Southwest Florida if they
had information.<br /><br /><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">A witness to
the encounter came forward after seeing the press release and composite and
told detectives that the driver was actually asking the boy where the school
drop-off was located. The press release and composite were instrumental in
determining that the driver did not have criminal intent when he spoke to the
boy.<br /><br /><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">CCSO will
continue to investigate all suspicious encounters and partner with the
community as appropriate to determine whether there was criminal intent,
Sheriff Kevin Rambosk said Tuesday. The community also expects and deserves
transparency from law enforcement, he added.<br /><br /><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“We are the
safest metropolitan county in the state, and that doesn’t happen by accident,”
Sheriff Rambosk said. “Our partnerships with businesses, organizations and the
individual members of our community are a key part of our success.”<br /><br /><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Sheriff
Rambosk said he has no greater priority than the safety of the community’s
young people.<br /><br /><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“We will

<br />Since CCSO’s aggressive driving campaign launched Tuesday morning, deputies with the agency’s Safety and Traffic Enforcement Bureau have conducted 334 traffic stops along the Livingston Road corridor. The stops have resulted in 153 warnings, 38 citations and one DUI arrest. The campaign is data-driven and focuses primarily on three stretches of road:<br />
<br />
* Livingston Road from Immokalee Road to Golden Gate Parkway<br />
* Collier Boulevard from U.S. 41 East to the Marco Island Bridge<br />
* Vanderbilt Beach Road from U.S. 41 North to Collier Boulevard<br />
<br />
The number of traffic deaths in Collier County is up 10 percent so far this year compared to the same period in 2015. There have been 19 fatal traffic crashes resulting in 22 traffic deaths during the first half of 2016 compared to 17 fatal crashes resulting in 20 traffic deaths over the same period in 2015. In 2015 Collier County followed a statewide trend of increased crashes and traffic fatalities. Fatalities increased from a total of 39 in 2014 to a total of 49 in 2015.<br />
<br />
