The town of Naples is situated on the west coast of Florida, directly across from Fort Lauderdale on the Atlantic Coast. You know where Interstate 75 takes a sudden east/west bend from hugging the Gulf coastline from the north. The Naples Florida Police use a lot of creative solutions to maintaining public order and making the citizens feel safe.
The town is a mixture of residential areas, vineyards and nature preserves and parks. It has more people per square mile than the state as a whole, but that can be attributable to vast areas of land that are uninhabitable, like swamps and everglades. It has a slightly lower population density than Tallahassee, the state capital.
Taking a look at the demographics of the town, it appears to be a very popular place to retire. Roughly 43 percent of the population are 65 years or older. The median age is 61. On paper, anyway, this looks like it is also an ideal location for the purpose of husband-hunting. For every female over the age of 18, there are 84 males.
In terms of crime figures, you are roughly one-third as likely to be the victim of a violent crime in the city on the gulf (1 in 630) as you are in the state as a whole (1 in 205). Crime statistics locally compare well with the nation as a whole. Murder is, so far, nonexistent. Figures for Rape, robbery and assault are also lower here than in the entire United States.
How to local law enforcement agencies keep the community safe? By running schemes like "Do the Right Thing" and "Boats on the Beach." The former is a way of recognizing the achievements of the local young people when they do something good. The other is a program through which residents who own non-powered boats (sailboats, etc) can moor them on the sand for a very reasonable annual charge.
The sheriff's office for Collier County also contributes to community safety. Through Smart 911, it is possible for citizens to create a safety profile that makes it possible for emergency responders to get up to date information about callers' medical conditions, medicines they are taking, how to get in touch with emergency contact and other important information about the rest of the family, pets included! The dispatcher has instant access to this information when they get a 911 call.
Free health and safety fairs are also held in the community. Businesses get together and offer resources at a single location. The humane society have a mobile unit where people can adopt pets (recognized for their health benefits). Children can get a free dental examination, too.
Located right on the beach, water safety forms an important part of the law enforcement officer's job. One way of addressing this is through fire and police academies held during the last week of July. Young people are invited to participate in fire extinguisher training, basic water rescue techniques, special ops demos, basic first aid (including CPR) and other fun events. The point of the exercise is to show kids what law enforcement officers and fire department personnel do and entice them to consider the emergency services as a career.
