Five people who hope to become the next sheriff of Jacksonville met together and answered your questions about the biggest issues facing the city.
Nat Glover is the first and only Black sheriff in the 20th century in the state of Florida. Of the candidates running, whoever is chosen will become the second.
“I think one of the reasons why Sheriff Glover was so successful when he was sheriff because he was from the neighborhood. He understood that to be sheriff, you had to be willing to go everywhere, to serve everyone.”Cummings said the trust between the Sheriff’s Office and the public has been broken for decades. He proposed a public accountability office inside the JSO -- something he said other sheriff’s offices and departments are doing in Florida.
We asked the candidates what they would do to ensure accountability, transparency and public confidence in the handling of such cases. “So what I think we should do, we’re at a critical point where we need to involve FDLE in officer-involved shootings,” Burton said.
