Our Sheriff's presentation began with the business aspect of running Collier County's Sheriff's Department. With his background of 8 years in the City of Naples Administration, his experience enabled him to reduce the department's budget by over 20 million dollars in the last four years.
Because of the 287G program, the department has been able with the help of ICE, many arrested illegals been deported. This has enabled the county to shut down one of it's jail facilities saving the taxpayers millions of dollars.
Rambosk boasted of our county's low crime rate but stated that Florida has an epidemic of narcotic pain pill prescriptions, many of which are being sold illegally. This creates a cycle of addiction and criminal acts to support such addictions. Collier was one of the first counties to promote a state wide monitoring program to inhibit doctor shopping and other abuses.
Sheriff Rambosk fielded several questions from the audience. He expressed that his office is always open if we should encounter any law enforcement problems.
We were left with the impression that Collier County Law Enforcement and Public Safety is in good hands with Sherrif Rambosk
