Recommendations for termination will be heard in person by the Sheriff.
If the Sheriff is absent, the Chief Deputy or another representative may be appointed.

Career Service Appeal Board Suspension

If the maximum punishment is greater than suspension without pay in excess of 43 hours or payment of property damage, the affected employee shall abide by the provisions of the Career Service Appeals Board.
The Board will hear appeals of permanent status employees arising from personnel actions.
The decision of the CSAB is final and binding on the employee and the Sheriff.

Domestic Violence

Matters shall be referred to Professional Standards for review.
Temporary injunctions will be reviewed by Internal Affairs to determine if the employee needs to turn in their firearms and ammunition.
Sustained violations of a temporary or permanent injunction are grounds for termination.

Force and Firearms Authority

FSS 790 exempts law enforcement officers from licensing requirements and permits carrying concealed firearms while off-duty, subject to agency limitations.
FSS 776 defines the use of force in defense of person and property and law enforcement use of force in making an arrest.
The Sheriff or designee may authorize the suspension of General Orders, policies, rules, and procedures when necessary for the betterment of the agency.

Any law enforcement agency may accept a report when agency jurisdiction cannot be determined.
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children states that the majority of children abducted by a stranger are killed within three hours.
Certain vulnerable groups, such as children, the elderly, and the mentally or physically challenged, are considered in danger any time they are missing.

Amber Plan and Silver Alert

The Amber Plan is a program designed to broadcast critical information of a missing/abducted child believed to be in danger.
The Silver Alert is a statewide plan to aid local law enforcement in the rescue or recovery of a missing elderly person who suffers from irreversible deterioration of intellectual faculties.### Levi's Call Activation
A detailed description of the child, abductor, and/or vehicle information is required to broadcast to the public.
The activation must be recommended by the law enforcement agency or jurisdiction.
The goal is to activate the broadcast within 30 minutes of receipt of the information.
Activation can only be done through FDLE's Missing Endangered Person Information Clearinghouse.

Child Abduction Response Team (CART)

CART is a special investigation function of the FDLE.
It investigates the abduction or endangerment of children in the Southwest Florida area.
To initiate a request for assistance, the Sheriff/Chief Deputy must contact FDLE Fort Myers Region CART SAC.

Silver Alert

The Silver Alert System should be activated as soon as possible after it is determined that all of the criteria have been met.
The missing person must be 60 years of age or older and have a diagnosed cognitive impairment, such as dementia.
Alternatively, the missing person can be between 18 to 59 years old with irreversible deterioration of intellectual faculties.
Authorization to activate the Florida Silver Alert Plan must be obtained from the PATROL SHIFT LIEUTENANT OR CID.

Initial Searches

The initial search area should be the immediate area (house, yard, neighborhood) near the last known location of the missing person.
The search should be methodical, systematic, and thorough.
The search area should be expanded to a five to ten square block area if the victim is not found near the location where last seen.

Requesting Additional Resources

If the missing person is not located during the initial search, the Captain/Designee shall decide whether to summon additional ground and aerial resources.
Assistance can be requested from groups and agencies.

The Investigative Bureau is responsible for following up on reports of missing persons.
State statute requires a monthly review of each case and a determination of whether the case should be maintained in the FCIC/NCIC database.

DNA Collection

DNA can be collected for three different categories associated with Missing Persons' Cases: Direct Reference Samples (DRS), Family Reference Samples (FRS), and Unidentified Human Remains Samples (UHR).

ON-VIEW Verification

Verification of a person's return and well-being is required in all cases reported to MCSO when the missing person is:
- A juvenile under 13 years of age
- A juvenile 13-17 years of age and is a first-time runaway
