Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco built was a system to continuously monitor and harass Pasco County residents
Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco built a system to continuously monitor and harass Pasco County residents, a Tampa Bay Times investigation has found.
Today, the Sheriff’s Office has a 30-person intelligence-led policing section with a $2.8 million budget, run by a former senior counterterrorism analyst who was assigned to the National Counterterrorism Center. The No. 2 is a former Army intelligence officer.
Twenty analysts scour police reports, property records, Facebook pages, bank statements and surveillance photos to help deputies across the agency investigate crimes, according to the agency’s latest intelligence-led policing manual.
Since September 2015, they have also decided who goes on the list of people deemed likely to break the law.
