Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters and his command staff announced their plans for a series of six town hall meetings in July. So mark your calendars if you want to attend one of the opportunities to hear firsthand from the sheriff and his team or ask about something that’s been on your mind concerning public safety.
“The town hall meetings are the public’s chance to hear about the state of safety in Jacksonville, meet the men and women who patrol the different districts and ask questions,” the announcement said. “The town halls over the previous years have been instrumental in getting feedback from the public and directing resources.”
The town halls are at 6:30 p.m. and are open to everyone. The public is encouraged to attend the meeting in the district they live or work in but are welcome to attend any and all meetings. Use the “Find My District” page on JaxSheriff.org to locate the districts.
Here’s the schedule :
District 5 (Baldwin, New Town, Northwest & Riverside): Monday, July 13, at Trinity Baptist Church Hammond Campus (800 Hammond Boulevard)
District 3 (Mandarin & Southside): Tuesday, July 14, at The Church of Eleven22 Mandarin Campus (4911 Losco Road)
