Sheriff Carmine Marceno

Sheriff Marceno began his law enforcement career in 1998 and spent more than a decade with the Collier County Sheriff’s Office, where he worked as a patrol deputy and later moved into community policing and a public liaison role. He joined the Lee County Sheriff’s Office in 2013 as a Captain and Executive Officer to then-Sheriff Mike Scott, was later promoted to Undersheriff, and in 2017 graduated from the FBI National Academy’s demanding ten-week executive leadership program. Governor Rick Scott appointed him Sheriff of Lee County in September 2018; voters elected him to a full term in November 2020 and returned him to office in 2024. He now oversees an agency of roughly 1,700 sworn and civilian employees.
