What Is the Sheriff’s High Intensity Target (HIT) Program?
The HIT (High Intensity Target) program is an operational approach adopted by the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office to identify and aggressively target properties or addresses that generate a disproportionate share of law enforcement calls, complaints, or criminal activity.
Under this program:
– Houses or addresses which repeatedly generate service calls (for disturbance, drug activity, weapons, etc.) may be flagged for higher scrutiny.
– The sheriff’s office may deploy surveillance, use search warrants, make arrests, and impose sanctions (such as condemnation or closure) against the property or occupants.
– The public nature of such designations is sometimes used to deter further criminal behavior—residents or visitors to a flagged address may be warned publicly that they are “on notice.”
For example, Sheriff Wayne Ivey has publicly “called out” houses via Facebook Live, declaring them to be on the HIT list after numerous service calls and arrests.
