1. Use Pinellas Park and Pinellas County as distinct intake fields
The 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate for the city is 53,560, with a margin of error of 47. Intake should therefore record the caller’s location rather than treating “Pinellas Park” and “Pinellas County” as interchangeable.
Recommended approach
Ask staff to confirm the caller’s city, county, and relevant incident or court location when those facts matter to screening. Review whether your rubric distinguishes a Pinellas Park resident from a caller elsewhere in Pinellas County, without assuming either location determines case value or eligibility.
