Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly has filed to run for re-election.
This will be Staly's third time running for sheriff. He was initially elected in 2016 and then re-elected in 2020. Since 2016, Staly has led the Flagler County Sheriff's Office to a "historic 54% crime reduction," a press release from the Keep Rick Staly Sheriff campaign said.
He has also implemented crime prevention programs and several inmate rehabilitation programs. Staly said he has kept his promise to county residents to reduce crime in the community, modernize the FCSO and focus on the county's youth, crime prevention and drugs.
"However, with the fast growth of Flagler County there is still more work to be done to remain one of the safest communities in our region and state,” Staly said.
Under Staly's tenure, the FCSO has been recognized as a leader in law enforcement and has received four national awards, the press release said. Staly also serves on several state and national law enforcement boards.
He is also an active member of the community in several local non-profit organizations, including as a member of the board of directors for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Volusia/Flagler Counties.
