Sarasota County Sheriff Kurt A. Hoffman
The Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO) extends its congratulations to Sheriff Kurt A. Hoffman as he begins his second term today, January 7, as the 11th Sheriff of Sarasota County.
Sheriff Hoffman’s leadership, commitment, and dedication have been a driving force for this community, and we are thankful for this opportunity for him to continue building on the foundation he started in 2021.
Since his first day in office, our agency has grown its footprint, reopened our south county office, and increased our staffing with a renewed focus on wellness and affordable housing. He has also positioned the agency for success with new equipment and technology. Through his innovative lens, the members of SCSO will continue the mission of working with integrity, respect, service, and fairness.
When asked about his plans, Sheriff Hoffman responded, “During this next term, our agency will focus on ensuring that the expansion of our headquarters and other capital improvements projects will see completion, so that we may continue to provide quality law enforcement services to our community. In addition, as criminals continue to utilize technology to victimize our citizens, particularly our senior citizens, this agency will seek to deploy crime fighting technology to combat fraud and identity theft and scams perpetrated on our residents. We must also continue to lead the state in recruiting, training, and retaining high-quality professional law enforcement personnel to meet the demands of the growth our county is experiencing. At the end of the day, providing safety and security to visitors and residents will continue to be our number one priority.”
Congratulations, Sheriff Hoffman, on this accomplishment and thank you for your dedication to our community.
