Sheriff Rick Staly is serving his second term as Flagler County Sheriff. He was first elected to the office of Sheriff in 2016 and was sworn in as the 18th Sheriff of Flagler County on January 3, 2017. Following his first term, he was overwhelmingly re-elected in 2020. As Sheriff, he leads a workforce of more than 500 employees with a budget of over $30 million dollars.

Sheriff Staly serves as President of the Florida Deputy Sheriff’s Association.

Law Enforcement Career

During Sheriff Staly’s more than 40-year career of public safety service, he has received numerous awards, commendations, and medals. While in the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, he received the Medal of Valor, Purple Heart Medal, and Florida Governor’s Medal of Heroism after being shot three times while saving the life of a fellow deputy sheriff. In 2015, he was awarded the President’s Lifetime Achievement Award from President Obama. In 2019, Sheriff Staly was selected as one of five finalists for the NRA’s Law Enforcement Officer of the Year Award.

Sheriff Staly began his law enforcement career in 1975 as a police officer in Oviedo and later in Altamonte Springs. In 1977, Staly joined the Orange County Sheriff’s Office as a Deputy Sheriff. During this time, he was shot three times while saving the life of a fellow deputy. He was awarded the agency’s Medal of Valor, Purple Heart Medal, and the Governor’s Medal of Heroism for his efforts. He later worked his way through the ranks and was promoted to Undersheriff in 1995. After six years as Undersheriff—and 24 years at Orange County in total—Staly retired from the public sector in 2001. However, he remained a sworn reserve Deputy Sheriff with the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office.

Following retirement, Staly began work in the private security industry as a Senior Vice President or Ginn Development Company, where he was responsible for security operations in five states and the Bahamas. He moved to Flagler County in 2006 and started his own business based in Palm Coast in 2008. After growing the company over four years to 128 employees with an annual revenue of $3.5 million dollars, he sold the company to a national security firm and looked to return to public service.

In 2013, he joined the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office where he served as Undersheriff for two years under Sheriff Jim Manfre. He would retire to run for the top position himself and, after a spirited campaign that saw eight challengers vying for the seat, Staly was elected Sheriff in 2016. For the first time in 16 years, Flagler County had a Florida-certified law enforcement officer as the top cop in the county.
