Dangerous drivers, we’re coming for you.

Officers from our Traffic Units teamed up for another Wolfpack traffic operation, targeting reckless drivers across Jacksonville. Officer Scott Tucker made several stops to slow speeders down and reminded drivers to be more careful when on the roads.

Our message is simple: slow down. When you drive recklessly, you’re putting not just your life at risk, but everyone around you in danger. We promise getting to your destination a few minutes faster isn’t worth it. So far this year, 86 people have lost their lives on our roads, and we’re not even halfway through the year.

The mission of our Wolfpacks is to make our city’s roads safer, one traffic stop at a time. But be warned, we’re not just looking for speeders during our Wolfpacks; our officers are always on the lookout for anyone breaking the law.

Drive safe, Duval.

Dangerous guns and deadly drugs are off the street after District 2 Patrol officers served a search warrant. 32-year-old Joseph Danish, a convicted felon, is facing more criminal charges after the officers found the guns and drugs at his house and in his car off McCormick Road.

On Sunday, May 31, District 2 Patrol officers were called to the area after a neighbor reported Danish was standing in the road, shooting a gun and making threats. When the officers arrived, they saw Danish run into his house. Officers told Danish to come out, and they took him into custody.

Once they determined Danish was a convicted felon who could not legally own a gun, the officers were granted a search warrant for his house and vehicle to check for more weapons. Here’s what they found:
-A shotgun
-A stolen AK-47 rifle
-A revolver
-A G***k switch
-Hundreds of live rounds of ammo
-Several bags of Co***ne and Methamphetamine
-More than a pound of Ma*****na
-A ballistics vest

Danish was already on our officers’ radar, as our District 2 Sheriff’s Watch members had voiced their concerns about him during the last meeting. We’re grateful to have our partnership with our community as we work together to make our city safer for everyone.

When every second counts, our K9 teams are ready.

On Monday, June 1, K9 Patriot and his new partner, Officer Arthur Tyre, helped find an 11-year-old girl who had run away from her home on the Southside.

K9 Patriot immediately picked up on the girl’s scent, leading his handler to the girl’s backpack she had left in the woods. From there, K9 Patriot continued tracking until officers spotted the girl in the woods and returned her to her family.

Safe outcomes like this don’t happen by chance. It takes hours of training and trust to make moments like this possible. This was K9 Patriot and Officer Tyre’s first track together, and we’re excited to see this duo continue to do good work.

On Tuesday, May 12, the suspect visited a grocery store off Monument Road and made a purchase with an EBT account. The problem? It wasn’t his.

Our fraudster made another purchase worth over $100 the next day at a different grocery store on Beach Boulevard using the same stolen account.

We need your help identifying our suspect before he steals from anyone else.

If you recognize this suspect, call us at 904.630.0500. Want to stay anonymous? Contact First Coast Crime Stoppers at 1.866.845.TIPS, and you could be eligible for a cash reward.

Don’t recognize him? You can still help by visiting our Unsolved Crimes page (https://unsolvedcrimes.jaxsheriff.org). You never know who you might recognize.

A drunk driver plowed through the Ironman Jacksonville course in the middle of the race, and it was all captured on one of our officer’s dash cameras. Thankfully, nobody was injured as the driver led multiple officers throughout Riverside, refusing to stop.

On Saturday, May 16, Officer Ernesto Valerio with our Specialized Traffic Unit was blocking traffic so the Ironman athletes could complete their 26.2-mile run. Officer Valerio heard on the radio there was a driver who was driving through the bike and run courses, putting the athletes’ and spectators’ lives at risk. Officer Valerio caught up to the car and tried several times to pull the driver over.

Officer Valerio’s dash cam caught several different times the driver drove through the race course, nearly hitting the athletes. The dash cam shows Motor Unit Officer Aaron Sanchez putting his own life in danger, attempting to stop the car with his motorcycle.

Officer Valerio was finally able to stop the car using a PIT maneuver at the intersection of Riverside Park Place and Park Street, with other nearby officers assisting in the arrest. The driver, 62-year-old Darrell Simon, was taken into custody and arrested on eight felony charges and nearly a dozen misdemeanors and violations. This was Simon’s third D.U.I. arrest in the last 10 years.

We are incredibly proud of our officers for putting their lives on the line in this moment to protect the Ironman athletes and spectators from what could have been a tragedy.

We want to say a big ‘Thank You' to Head Coach Liam Coen and the Jaguars for hosting three of our all-star officers at one of the team’s practices!

The Jaguars invited Officer Antonio Richardson, Officer Joseph Neighbor, and Officer Brandon Creighton-Nelson to meet the players after the trio saved a young man from taking his own life on the Dames Point Bridge. The body-worn camera video of their interactions reached millions of people across the world and opened conversations about mental health.

Our officers don’t do their jobs to make headlines or get attention, but it is always nice to see them get extra appreciation and recognition.

Once again, thank you to Coach Coen and the entire Jaguars team for showing support for our officers! DUUUVAL!

We’re back with another click it or ticket reminder.

Traffic safety is always a priority for us. Officer Morgan Smith and Officer Karim Saoud from our Traffic Enforcement Unit gave a wakeup call to people who weren’t wearing seatbelts.

In this case, Officer Smith gave the driver the benefit of the doubt and issued a warning. She still took time to remind the driver on the importance of seatbelt safety. No one is perfect, but it doesn’t take perfect to buckle up and potentially save a life.

Drive safe (and be kind), Duval.

More deadly drugs are off our streets after our Narcotics Unit detectives removed more than 7,000 potentially fatal doses of Fentanyl and other illicit drugs from a bust in the Magnolia Gardens area.

Our detectives learned our suspect, 32-year-old Allen Johnson, was selling drugs at a motel off Edgewood Avenue. Our detectives worked to build evidence against Johnson and receive a search warrant for his room at the motel. At one point during the investigation, Johnson moved to a different motel off Edgewood Avenue, continuing to sell drugs from the new room. Our detectives didn’t give up. We received a search warrant for his room, and on Friday, May 15, our Narcotics Unit and our SWAT Team served the warrant.

Here’s what we found:
-14.8 grams of Fentanyl (7,400+ potentially fatal doses)
-333.9 grams of Cathinone
-50.9 grams of Powder Co***ne
-22.8 grams of Crack Co***ne
-20 grams of Methamphetamine
-2.5 pounds of Ma*****na

We arrested Johnson for a dozen felony charges.

If you believe someone is selling drugs in your community, speak out. We want to know. Report any suspicious activity to us by calling 904.630.0500. Our Narcotics Unit investigates every tip we receive, and we will stop at nothing to get these dangerous drugs off our streets.
