The Information Technologies (IT) Section is composed of the Service Desk, Application Services and Infrastructure Services that
together form the IT Team.
The IT team is responsible for establishing, administering and maintaining all of the technology needs within the Manatee County
Sheriff's Office. Other responsibilities include custom development and coordinating efforts with Manatee County Information Systems
Division, other County constitutionals and outside vendors.
The IT team strives to integrate technology seamlessly with the daily activities of the Manatee County Sheriff's Office. Our mission
is to stay on top of today's emerging technology and to ensure our deputies and support-staff have the best tools available to them.
As the agency grows the IT Team will work hand in hand to support that growth. We focus on our customers by delivering excellent and
timely support services and by fostering teamwork and continuous improvement in everything we do. We currently support 400+ marked
and unmarked cars utilizing state of the art ruggedized laptops integrated with high speed virtual private network encryption.
These technologies allow our deputies to stay in touch at all times enabling them quick access to information which is essential
to keeping our neighborhoods safe.
