\u201cSeventy percent of the community expressed a high or very high trust in the sheriff\u2019s office,\u201d she said. \u201cSeventy-seven percent wants faster emergency response, 64% of our community wants to see more deputies in their communities\u201d<\/p>\n
Respondents added that they\u2019re seeing too many traffic violations going unnoticed and stressed a need for more patrols in areas near Southwest Eighth Street and Northwest 12th Street.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re absolutely correct people are driving aggressively,\u201d said Cordero-Stutz. \u201cRegards to the areas of patrol, yes those areas are proactively addressed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cordero-Stutz highlighted the reduction in crime across the board and said it hasn\u2019t been an easy job, adding that she\u2019s been fighting for funding to get the job done and keep deputies from going to other higher paying agencies.<\/p>\n
She also commented on controversial Amendment 3, which if approved, would raise exemptions on property taxes. Some critics say it would come at the cost of public money for crucial services, like law enforcement. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe amendment does not clearly identify how public safety will be funded,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
The Florida Sheriffs Association has taken stance against the amendment and Cordero-Stutz was asked if her stance matches the association. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe sheriffs association is its own place,\u201d she said. \u201cI am a member of the Florida Sheriffs Association. I absolutely work alongside them all the time, but that statement came from the organization.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cordero-Stutz added that MDSO is currently short 150 deputies.<\/p>\n
The starting annual salary for a deputy is just over $66,000. <\/p>\n
