Administration

Captain Duke Perry oversees the Administration Bureau, which includes many of the support functions of the agency as well as the community initiatives and youth programs.  

Recruitment

The Recruitment Unit reviews applications for civilian and sworn openings at the agency.  Extensive background investigations are required for sworn employees according to Florida State Statutes and they are completed by specially trained officers at the agency.  This unit works closely with the City Human Resources Office to complete the hiring process.

Community Affairs

This office houses three separate units.  The Alarm Services Unit is responsible for selling yearly permits for Burglar Alarms in the City.  They also are responsible for fining violators that have exceeded the allowable false alarms within the year set by City Ordinance.  The Summons Enforcement Officer keeps track of the hundreds of subpoenas that are served on officers at the agency.  They also attend certain court hearings to make sure they coordinate the officers that are need to testify.  This office is also responsible for managing the off duty details that are requested by businesses and citizens to have police officers protect their properties.

Records Division

Aside from police officers, members of the Records Division are the employees most likely to directly serve the citizens of Fort Myers. Supervised by Joe Gallo, the Records Division is responsible for maintaining all reports of crimes, arrest reports and accident reports.

Records employees also make these reports available to the public.

All original reports are carefully stored and eventually microfilmed after several years. Records clerks also enter data from the reports in the department's computer system for tracking criminal histories and for statistical purposes.
