Monroe County Florida is home to the beautiful Florida keys.  The Sheriffs office is the primary law enforcement agency for the county.  The sheriffs office has almost 200 road patrol officers and detectives.  Those deputies are responsible for patrolling the nearly 100 miles of islands that branch off the southern tip of Florida.   

The tourist industy is a major force of revenue for the county.  Over 2 million tourists visit the county each year.  During the peak winter months, the counties population swells to almost 150,000. 

Because of the unique topography of the keys, there are several different substations throughout the county.  In addition to the sheriffs office, the City of Key West Police Department is a busy agency with citations and arrests.   There were over 12,000 speeding tickets written in Monroe County in 2007.  Most of the citations were written by the sheriffs office.  In addition, there were almost 113 DUI arrests made last year by all law enforcement agencies.

There are four different courthouses that handle traffic violations within the county.  The Key West courthouse is located in downtown Key West, while the Marathon and Plantation Key courthouses are located north of the city of Key West.
