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:
“Unless a group of workers know their work is under surveillance, that they are being rated as fairly as human beings, with the fallibility that goes with human judgment, can rate them, and that at least an attempt is made to measure their worth to an organization in relative terms, they are likely to sink back on length of service as the sole reason for retention and promotion.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“The organization controlling the material equipment of our everyday life is such that what in itself would enable us to construct it richly plunges us instead into a poverty of abundance, making alienation all the more intolerable as each convenience promises liberation and turns out to be only one more burden. We are condemned to slavery to the means of liberation.”
—Raoul Vaneigem (b. 1934)
“I will never accept that I got a free ride. It wasn’t free at all. My ancestors were brought here against their will. They were made to work and help build the country. I worked in the cotton fields from the age of seven. I worked in the laundry for twenty- three years. I worked for the national organization for nine years. I just retired from city government after twelve-and-a- half years.”
—Johnnie Tillmon (b. 1926)
