The Citrus County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) is a full-service law enforcement agency serving Citrus County, Florida. Citrus County is located on the west-central coast of the U.S. state of Florida.  Citrus County has two incorporated municipalities, the City of Crystal River and the City of Inverness, making the CCSO the only law enforcement agency in the county. The county seat is Inverness, and its largest community is Homosassa Springs.

We humbly serve over 150,000 residents and the more than 530,000 people who visit our county every year. Let’s face it; Citrus County is a great place to live, work, and play. That is why our teammates at CCSO enthusiastically embrace our mission of Excellence in Public Safety and vigorously pursue our vision to make Citrus County the Safest Community in Florida.

Our core values are Integrity, Service above Self, and Loyalty above All. The members of our community deserve nothing less, and we plan to provide them nothing short of these morally sound pillars. The work that the loyal men and women of the CCSO put in day after day, night after night, 24/7 around the clock, speaks volumes about our dedication to protect and serve.
