Candidate's Closing Argument
for Change in Leadership Inside the JSO
for Change in Leadership Inside the JSO
In 2015, the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office budget was $386 million and our city recorded 112 homicides. In 2019, the JSO budget climbed to $435 million, while the city hit a new record of 162 homicides. Here we are today and the JSO proposed budget is $514 million, with the city having set yet another record with 176 homicides in 2020, surpassing the record set in 2019.
You see Jacksonville, reducing violent crime is not about giving up more of your hard earned tax dollars as the previously stated numbers clearly indicate. It's about hiring quality management and skilled leadership inside the agency that can direct the men and women in a fundamentally new strategic direction to effectively tackle the problem. Anything else (e.g., ShotSpotter, The Real Live Crime Center, The Cure Violence Initiative) is simply dancing around the real problem of broken community trust in JSO leadership, and a waste of your valuable time and tax dollars.
"It is time to demand more of your elected and appointed leaders. The citizens of Duval County can no longer afford to use taxpayer's dollars to subsidize ethically deficient, inept individuals who, often because of favoritism, nepotism, and cronyism, are artificially elevated into positions of authority in our city." It's Time For A Change!
