In just two days the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office will begin its new policing districts and Sheriff T.K. Waters wants to bring more officers to the street to help fill them out.
July 27, 2023 at 9:48 pm EDT
JSO said the hope is that each district will have 14 squads and each one will be staffed by 10 officers. Sheriff Waters said he hopes to cut down on response times and showed Action News Jax a real-time crime map of what’s happening in the city during our one-on-one. Sheriff Waters said as a consolidated agency, the city’s 850+ square miles is a lot to cover; as the population grows, he wants at least 176 more officers over the next four years and doesn’t think that’s too much to ask.
Locally across our area, the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office is also working to increase starting pay. In Jacksonville, the Fraternal Order of Police is the bargaining agency for JSO. Waters added that money aside, there’s still a draw to join.
