How big the department isOrmond Beach Police Department reported 67 sworn officers and 24 civilian staff to the FBI for 2025. That is 1.5 officers per 1,000 residents, over a population of 44,973.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.
