🇺🇸 THE UNIFORM MAY CHANGE. THE COMMITMENT TO SERVE NEVER DOES.
From serving our country to serving our community, the veterans of #TeamLCSO continue to make a difference every day.
Today, and every day, we are grateful for their service and sacrifice.
🇺🇸 ONE TEAM. A LIFETIME OF SERVICE.
Did you know one in five #TeamLCSO employees is a U.S. military veteran?
This Veterans Day, we’re proud to share their stories, honor their sacrifices, and recognize the men and women who have dedicated their lives to serving others.
Stay tuned for Part 2 this afternoon!

Today, shortly after 1:00 p.m., the Lee County Sheriff`s Office responded to Estero Bay Preserve following an emergency landing by a Highwing amphibious floatplane.
The aircraft came to rest in a remote, landlocked area of the preserve, inaccessible by boat or vehicle. A multi-agency response was quickly coordinated, and LCSO Aviation successfully conducted an aerial rescue, safely bringing the aircraft`s sole occupant, to safety. Thankfully, the pilot sustained no injuries during the incident.
This marks the second aviation emergency landing in Lee County in just 48 hours, reinforcing exactly why we invest in the resources, aviation assets, equipment, and training necessary to protect our community. When seconds matter and conditions are challenging, our teams stand ready.
“I am incredibly proud of our Aviation Unit and Third Precinct Patrol, and want to sincerely thank Iona McGregor Fire Department, South Trail Fire Department, Lee County Public Safety, and Crash and Fire Rescue for their professionalism, diligence, and outstanding teamwork. Despite the unique challenges, everyone came together to make this rescue possible. In light of the tragic aviation incidents we`ve seen this past week, today`s successful outcome is especially meaningful. Most importantly, someone made it home safely, and that is what matters most,” stated Sheriff Carmine Marceno.
The FAA has assumed jurisdiction over the incident.
Another amazing year honoring our veterans at the Cape Coral Veterans Day Parade!! We are so grateful to celebrate your service! 💙🇺🇸
