Nearly 70% of murders committed in our city have gone unsolved under the current JSO leadership. Do you believe the citizens deserve better?

Do you want police service that matches the nearly 500 million in tax dollars allocated to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office (JSO) each year?

#8  Accountability        
Bridging The Gap of Trust Between Police and The Public

wasted because of excessive force and officer misconduct lawsuits filed against a few rogue JSO officers?
