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 safety, you are three times as likely to become the victim of a violent attack in the state as a whole (1 chance in 205) than you are in this quiet gulf coast town (one chance in 630). Latest crime statistics indicate there is zero murder, and lower figures for assault, robbery and rape than the nation as a whole.
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 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.
