Home/Divisions
From first response to follow-up investigation, every PCSO unit works one county under one standard.
The front line of PCSO.
Traffic stops, calls for service, scene security and first response. Deputies work assigned districts, stay on radio, and coordinate with dispatch, investigations and detention when a call grows.
Traffic safety and crash response.
Speeding, reckless driving, DUI enforcement and serious crash scenes. Unit deputies support patrol with traffic investigation and county-wide enforcement details.
Follow-up beyond the patrol report.
Cases that need interviews, evidence follow-up and longer-term investigation. Patrol files the first report; CID works with PIO and command once a case is assigned.
High-risk and tactical support.
High-risk warrants, armed barricades and calls that need extra equipment and training. SRT deploys at command direction and keeps scenes coordinated with patrol and dispatch.
Jail operations and court security.
Jail occupancy, inmate movement, transports and courtroom security for Pinellas County, coordinated with patrol and dispatch.
Training new deputies after hire.
Post-hire training and ride-alongs so new deputies meet PCSO standards before solo patrol. FTO staff document progress and recommend release to patrol.
News, records and official messaging.
Media, Inside the Star features, public records routing and official statements from PCSO. News and photo updates are published after staff review.
