The Enforcement Bureau is responsible for providing law enforcement services to
the residents of the unincorporated area of Manatee County. There are approximately
295 deputies and 92 civilian employees assigned to the Enforcement Bureau, which
is divided into three Patrol Divisions. The deputies patrol the larger portion of
741 square miles of land that make up Manatee County and serve a population of approximately
313,000 persons.
Deputy Sheriffs work an assigned shift, patrolling an assigned zone, performing
law enforcement duties. Their primary task is the enforcement of state and
county laws and the protection of life and property, but other duties include making
arrests, traffic enforcement, executing warrants, and conducting preliminary criminal
investigations. The Sheriff's Office has divided the County into three sectors.
Each sector is designated as a Patrol District and has six or eight zones, with
size and boundaries based upon population and crime activity.
As with all components of the Sheriff's Office, the Enforcement Bureau works to
meet a high standard of professional service for the residents of Manatee County.
