Hello, my name is Lieutenant Scott Byrd. I am your District Commander for the Ocklawaha District Office.

The Ocklawaha District is staffed with 10 deputies that enforce the laws of Marion County and patrol your neighborhoods to ensure your safety. During the hours of 8-5, Monday through Friday, the office is normally staffed with a secretary that can assist you with copies of reports, fingerprinting requests, at a nominal fee. There are times that the office is not staffed with a secretary due to covering other districts within the county. The Ocklawaha COPS group, East River COPS group and Lake Watch are comprised of community volunteers who provide at a minimum, 4 volunteer hours per month to assist the Sheriff’s Office in various capacities. They operate under the command of the Ocklawaha District Office located at 13985 East County Road 25.

The Ocklawaha District covers a large area to include residents residing in Summerfield, Belleview, Ocklawaha, East Lake Weir, Umatilla, Big Scrub and Altoona. In addition, the district covers the many lakes and wilderness trails citizens enjoy for recreational purposes.

The main focus of the Ocklawaha District deputies and staff is to ensure your safety, protection and quality of life. If there are any concerns, please do not hesitate to call or stop by the office.
