Ride Along - A Night with the JSO

Last night Anthony went out on the town with Jacksonville's finest, a Jacksonville Sheriffs Officer in our zone of town to see what was really going on in this area of town. Anthony is very community minded and wants to give back in any way that he can. He looked into joining the military, trying to find a place to volunteer firefight, and is clearly now looking into the JSO Reserves.

Anthony went to the sub station for his ride along at 6:00 p.m. and was introduced to the officer he would be riding with and then the adventure unfolded. They caught speeders, pulled over people not obeying the traffic laws, and then busted up some high school parties in well-to-do neighborhoods. They ended up taking in a 17 year old intoxicated/passed out party host downtown for processing. So the punk didn't go to jail but did end up staying the night in a mental health location so he could sober up.

After working all day, Anthony went on his ride along but I don't think he was ready for the 12 hour shift. Let's just say it was a long and tiring night but gave him much entertainment and insight about police work and our area. If you want to hear a good story, just ask him about his night with JSO protecting our city.
