CompStat Meeting 11-12-26

The City of DeBary’s CompStat meeting on November 12, 2026, reviewed crime and public-safety activity with Volusia County Sheriff’s Office representatives. Officials reported year-to-date declines in persons crimes (10%), property crimes (14%), and crimes against society (nearly 9%), while discussing recent increases in some monthly offenses and fraud schemes. The meeting also covered investigations, traffic enforcement, community outreach, school safety, and a planned e-bike ordinance for city council consideration the following week.

On spending and procurement, officials said the city had budgeted for the purchase of two e-bikes during the current fiscal year for law-enforcement use; no cost, vendor, or purchasing approval was stated. The bikes are intended as a pilot that could inform future budget decisions. The sheriff’s office also reported that metal detectors were installed in 75% of middle schools, with the remaining three expected by the end of December, but no related contract or expenditure was discussed. No contract awards, RFPs, or bids were identified.
