Sheriff Wells Engages Advisory Board at Bradenton Country Club Luncheon

This morning at the Bradenton Country Club, Sheriff Wells convened his quarterly Advisory Board Luncheon to discuss several issues affecting the Manatee County Sheriff's Office and the local community. He outlined various initiatives aimed at enhancing public safety and community engagement.

The meeting also featured a presentation by Crime Analysis Manager Elicia Main, who emphasized the crucial role of modern crime analysis. She detailed the functions of the MCSO Real Time Information Center, which provides current data to support effective law enforcement decisions.

During her talk, Main highlighted a valuable community resource: the Crime Mapping Tool. Available on the MCSO website's Crime Prevention page and through the agency’s mobile app, the tool offers residents easy access to recent crime data for Manatee County. This initiative fosters transparency and empowers community members with the latest information on local crime trends.
