Department Budgets

Jacksonville Sheriff's Office

City of Jacksonville · Consolidated Sheriff's Office

JSO

Operating Fund

Est. income /wk

Capital Fund

$20,000 covers repairs and restocking now — not yet a full new Interceptor Utility ($45,000). Weekly income: citations ($2,400) + impound fees ($2,500) + city stipend ($5,000).

Funded by citation revenue share, impound fees, and a weekly city stipend.

Jacksonville Fire & Rescue Dept.

City of Jacksonville · Fire & EMS

JFRD

Operating Fund

Est. income /wk

Capital Fund

$20,000 is early savings toward a new ambulance ($175,000). JFRD's reserve target is larger than JSO's because EMS transport billing is a bigger revenue stream — it just needs more weeks to build up. Weekly income: city stipend ($6,000) + EMS transport billing ($11,250).

Funded by a weekly city stipend plus net EMS transport billing revenue.

Nassau County Sheriff's Office

Nassau County

NCSO

Operating Fund

Est. income /wk

Capital Fund

$12,000 is about a quarter of the way to a new patrol Interceptor Utility ($45,000) — a smaller county fleet, so the target is lower and reachable sooner than JSO's. Weekly income: citations ($960) + impound fees ($800) + county stipend ($2,500).

Funded by citation revenue share, impound fees, and a weekly county stipend.

Nassau County Fire and Rescue

Nassau County · Fire & EMS

NCFR

Operating Fund

Est. income /wk

Capital Fund

$12,000 is early savings toward a new ambulance ($175,000). Weekly income: county stipend ($3,000) + EMS transport billing ($4,000).

Funded by a weekly county stipend plus net EMS transport billing revenue.

Florida Highway Patrol

State of Florida · Troop G, Northeast Florida

FHP

Operating Fund

Est. income /wk

Capital Fund

$15,000 is about a third of the way to a new Durango Pursuit ($44,000). FHP doesn't rely on local citation revenue the way city/county departments do — its funding runs through the state, not a city budget. Weekly income: state highway safety allocation ($7,000) + retained citation share ($720).

Funded by a state highway safety allocation, not local city/county revenue.

Operating Fund

Day-to-day money — repairs, restocking, and eventually new vehicles. Fed by citations, impound fees, EMS billing, and stipends. Every department starts small on purpose: this fund is meant to be earned through normal server activity, not maxed out on day one.

Capital Fund

The big-ticket account — armored vehicles, new stations, aircraft. Uses full real-world prices, but isn't meant to be grinded up dollar by dollar. It starts at zero everywhere and grows only through roleplayed city, county, or state budget approval — a council vote, a mayor's sign-off, a bond.
