Naples on the Gulf, as the town's nickname says, is located on the gulf coast of Florida, where Interstate 75/Hwy 93 forms a right angled bend where it leads to Ford Lauderdale on the Atlantic Ocean side of the state. The Naples Florida Police are accredited by the Commission for Law Enforcement Accreditation. This honor is official confirmation that the force maintains the highest standards of professionalism in upholding the law.
The town is a mixture or urban estates, vineyards, parks and nature reserves. It has a population density of roughly 1,600 per square mile. Compare this with the population of the state capital, Tallahassee, which is 1,800 per square mile. Statewide, the population density is 353 per square mile.
Naples is a popular place for people to spend their retirement. More than one-third (43%) of the local population are over the age of 65, while the median age for both men and women is 61. Statistically-speaking, the town makes rich pickings for husband-hunters. For every woman older than 18 years of age, there are approximately 84 men.
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 does local law enforcement keep the public safe? By emphasizing ethics, service and quality. The Boats on the Beach program enables citizens to store their non-motorized sea-going vessels at one of five sand locations. A nominal yearly fee is payable for the privilege.
The Collier County Sheriff's office also has a hand in protecting the local public. One way the Sheriff keeps the city safe is by holding free health and safety fairs. Local businesses at these events offer resources for families during difficult economic times. Vaccinations are available from a stall run by the county health department. The sheriff's office also runs a four-hour course on handgun safety. Successful completion of this course qualifies the student to apply for a state permit to carry a concealed weapon.
Also at the health and safety fairs, children may receive a free dental examination from the Tooth Fairy, courtesy of the mobile sponsored by Ronald McDonald Care. The local humane society turn up with their mobile adoption unit, so families and seniors can adopt a health-giving pet if they want.
Because of the town's location right on the Gulf Coast, water safety figures prominently in the remit of those in charge of protecting the public. Every year between July and August the city holds a fire and police academy to introduce the local youth to the concept of pursuing a career in law enforcement or with the fire department. Kids learn about boat safety, basic water rescue techniques, fire extinguisher training, first aid (including CPR), demonstrations by special ops teams, K-9, crime scene and lots more. Space is limited to twenty students.
