Indian Advisory Council

Our mission is to serve as a bridge connecting the Indian community with the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, dedicated to serving, protecting, and defending the community while upholding the rights and dignity of all individuals.

This vision was born from one individual’s commitment to support our conservative culture and foster opportunities for community service. Dr. Vipul Kabaria transformed his passion into reality by formally establishing the Council in June 2014. The organization is recognized as a public charity and is exempt under IRC Section 501(c)(3).

Since its inception, the Council has actively engaged in numerous initiatives aimed at building goodwill and fostering strong relationships, promoting literacy, and raising awareness about the resources available within our county.
