Flagler County Sheriff's Office has a new chief deputy.
On Tuesday, Jan. 14, Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly announced his appointment of Cmdr. Joseph Barile to chief deputy, a position that is responsible for law enforcement, court and detention operations, according to a press release.
The FCSO has not had a chief deputy since Undersheriff Jack Bisland retired six years ago.
"I am fortunate that I have many leaders within our staff," Staly said in the press release. "Chief Deputy Barile graduated from Flagler Palm Coast High School and joined FCSO as a deputy sheriff as he continued his college education. He has been promoted through the ranks and is well-respected within the FCSO team. He has been instrumental in implementing cutting-edge technology that has helped us reduce crime. FCSO and our community run through his veins, and he will help deliver our vision for a safer community, with the continual challenge of unprecedented growth.”
For the past six years, the duties of chief deputy have been split between Staly and Chief of Staff Mark Strobridge. Barile joined the FCSO in 2007 and previously served in the Community Policing and Investigative Services divisions. Prior to his chief deputy appointment, he served as the commander of the Homeland Security and Investigations section.
“I am very honored to be appointed chief deputy,” Barile said in the press release. “Sheriff Staly has changed the culture and foundation of the Sheriff’s Office, which is now recognized as a leader in law enforcement and detention services across Florida and America. It is my honor to assist in delivering the best guardianship policing services possible for our community.”
