The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office has won the National Sheriff’s Association's Crime Victim Services Award for 2024.

The award annually recognizes outstanding achievement by a sheriff’s office in support of victims, a FCSO press release said. Sheriff Rick Staly has led FCSO to developing a culture, team, policies, programs and resources that put the needs of victims first in everything the FCSO does.

The award will be presented to FCSO at the 2024 NSA Annual Conference in Oklahoma City this summer, the press release said Staly was previously awarded life membership in NSA.

Staly developed a Guardianship Policing Model that ensures crime prevention is a community effort. Through this model, FCSO delivers exceptional services to victims of crimes with the help of the many alliances it has built throughout Flagler County with community groups and organizations, the press release said.

“We are very honored to receive notification of this award. I’m honored the dedicated professionals we have working at the Flagler County Sheriff's Office, especially in our Victim Services and Behavioral Response Units, are being recognized by NSA,” said Sheriff Staly. “We will continue to raise the bar on victim services.”
