Hello and welcome to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office Mobile Field Force web page. I am Captain Fred Cyprian and the Mobile Field Force Commander. I have been employed with the Sheriff’s Office for 28 years. I began my career with the Sheriff’s Office in 1981, after having previously worked as an Ocala Police Officer. I worked my way through the ranks as a Patrol Deputy, Field Training Officer, Patrol Sergeant, Patrol Lieutenant District Commander, to my current position as a Patrol Captain/Watch Commander. I graduated from the Southern Police Institute at the University of Louisville, in 1986. I obtained a B. A. degree in Criminal Justice from the University of Central Florida in 1985. I am currently enrolled at St. Leo University seeking my Masters Degree in Criminal Justice.
