Cost of livingPrices in Florida run about 3% above the national average, so this is worth roughly $77,214 somewhere at average prices — $2,636 less than the headline figure. Most of that is rent, at 122 against a national average of 100, where goods are 98. Based on state-wide price levels, because this agency is not tied to a single metro area, from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, 2024. The salary above is what the employer publishes; this line is our arithmetic on it, and nothing on this site is ranked on it.
How big the department isIndian Creek Village Public Safety Department reported 10 sworn officers and 4 civilian staff to the FBI for 2025. That is 111.1 officers per 1,000 residents, over a population of 90.A rate is only meaningful for a city department, where the population served is the city’s own. Reporting to the FBI is voluntary, so a count can reflect a partial return as easily as a small agency, and the FBI asks that agencies not be compared on staffing.

What Indian Creek Village Public Safety Department does
The Indian Creek Village Public Safety Department polices a man-made barrier island in Biscayne Bay at the north-eastern edge of Miami-Dade County - about 294 acres, or a little under half a square mile, occupied by residential home sites and a country club that covers most of the land. It is a PUBLIC SAFETY department rather than a police department alone, and the village describes its officers as a community resource who help residents solve a wide range of problems, many of them nothing to do with law enforcement. The department states that every member carries its mission statement as part of their official credentials, and that the philosophy behind it is reinforced daily through leadership, training and direct engagement with residents rather than left on a wall. Its published account of itself emphasises responsiveness, discretion and the relationships between officers and the people they serve.
