Organization
The Sheriff’s Office is organized into five major departments: the Department of Law Enforcement, the Department of Youth Services, the Department of Support Services, the Department of Administrative Services and the Department of Corrections.
The Office of the Sheriff provides the overall leadership, strategic direction and management for the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office. It includes the Sheriff, Undersheriff, Chief and Chief Deputy. The Undersheriff assists with the day to day administration of the Sheriff’s Office and serves as acting Sheriff in the Sheriff’s absence.
The Chief oversees the City County Investigative Bureau (CCIB).
CCIB’s mission is to identify, arrest, and vigorously prosecute drug traffickers, their couriers and members of their organizations engaged in the illegal transportation and distribution of drugs. CCIB is a full-time, multi-agency task force composed of agents from SCSO, all seven police departments within Seminole County, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE), the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Amtrak/Auto Train.
The Chief Deputy reports directly to the Sheriff and is responsible for the day to day activities of the five departments and the Public Affairs Division.
Public Affairs Division spearheads the agency’s external communications and public outreach. Public Information Officers (PIOs) assigned to the Division serve as spokespersons for the sheriff and represent the agency to the media and the public.

Famous quotes containing the word organization:
“Your organization is not a praying institution. It’s a fighting institution. It’s an educational institution right along industrial lines. Pray for the dead and fight like hell for the living!”
—Mother Jones (1830–1930)
“I would wish that the women of our country could embrace ... [the responsibilities] of citizenship as peculiarly their own. If they could apply their higher sense of service and responsibility, their freshness of enthusiasm, their capacity for organization to this problem, it would become, as it should become, an issue of profound patriotism. The whole plane of political life would be lifted.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“Prostitution is the most hideous of the afflictions produced by the unequal distribution of the world’s goods; this infamy stigmatizes the human species and bears witness against the social organization far more than does crime.”
—Flora Tristan (1803–1844)
