Community Response Unit (CRU) -

Our Community Response Unit (CRU) was created to solve problems that arise in the community. CRU focuses on establishing and maintaining direct community contacts to foster grassroots partnerships to address and resolve quality of life issues.

The five branches of CRU are Community Outreach, Community Policing, Crime Prevention, Construction Special Investigations and Animal Cruelty Task Force.

Crime Prevention focuses on educating and training our community through programs, partnerships and initiatives. Community Policing establishes community safety teams at providing service and support through interaction and effective communication with homeowners’ associations.

For more information please contact us at 239-477-1CRU (1278) or CRU@sheriffleefl.org.

I can assure you, we will continue working together toward our mission of keeping our community safe and drug-free.” In partnership with the State Attorney’s Office, NETFORCE concluded a long-term narcotics investigation known as “All in the Family,” back in 2023 that targeted a large-scale drug trafficking organization operating in Lee County. The multi-agency operation resulted in 19 arrests for narcotics trafficking and conspiracy charges and the seizure of large quantities of cocaine, fentanyl, methamphetamine, marijuana, firearms, and cash. Recently, several have received lengthy prison sentences, notably including: 𝐎𝐦𝐚𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨 𝟔𝟎 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐊𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐧 𝐉𝐚𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝟓𝟎 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐈𝐬𝐫𝐚𝐞𝐥 𝐃𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐞𝐳 𝟐𝟎 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐇𝐞𝐧𝐫𝐲 𝐋𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝟐𝟎 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 This case highlights the strength of collaboration between law enforcement and the State Attorney’s Office in holding drug traffickers accountable and keeping our community safe. ...
