Hardee County Sherriff Office Security Rates 

 Regular rate: $50 an hour / Short notice under 24 hours: $65 hour 

  Events involving Alcohol: Less than one hundred people it is $65.00 an hour. 

 If the Deputy counts more than 100 people at an alcohol event, the Deputy will summon another Deputy at $80 an hour. Plus, the first Deputies at $65 will increase to $80 an hour retractive to the time the deputy started. 

 When clients are unsure how many people are attending the event serving alcohol, we will suggest that it would be an idea to hire two Deputies at $65 an hour to avoid any complications.
