Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters outlined his agency’s plans to make the city a safer place to live and introduced some of his staff members.
. Waters said the goal of the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office is “to make every member of Duval County safe” and to ensure Jacksonville continues to grow into the city “that we know it can be.”
That’s one reason why he was flanked by his staff member at Tuesday’s news conference — so residents can get to know them. Waters introduced some of the leaders on the JSO Command Staff — the officers who will oversee departments and carry out his vision for JSO. They are also heading up the departments that the new sheriff believes will address crime in the city.
Community Engagement Assistant Chief Morris Halyard has spent more than 13 years at the Sheriff’s Office and is a former Army Ranger. And Assistant Chief Dan Shelton is a chief of JSO’s Property Crime section and Investigations division. He has more than 18 years of service with JSO. Waters said Shelton also spent 20 years in the U.S. Navy and was a senior chief.
