Summary
Residents report robberies, car thefts, drug activity and a March 13 shooting in Sunterra, much of it traced to investor-owned Section 8 rentals. The court approved a $100,000 overtime pilot for deputies and jailers, funded from salary savings, to boost patrols in high-volume areas.

Impact analysis
$100,000 from existing sheriff's office salary savings — no new taxpayer money this year.
Sunterra and other high-growth neighborhoods get extra patrols; deputies get paid overtime instead of comp time.
The constables' offices argue they continue to be shortchanged on resources relative to the sheriff.
