Jacksonville has hit the dubious mark of 100 homicides for the year. How would the people running for sheriff address the issue if elected?
Retired Sheriff's Office Chief Lakesha Burton said she is not surprised at the high number already, saying the Sheriff's Office leadership has been"quiet." She said a sheriff should get"out in the community and make some noise about it.
"We have become numb to the violence in this city," Burton said."... The criminals in this city will know their time is up and get the community involved."Retired airport and schools police chief Wayne Clark said the Sheriff's Office appears to be reacting to the killings instead of finding ways to prevent them. Some are due to gangs, what he called"retaliatory murders.
"We have got to identify the people who are out doing this, be proactive and try to remove those people from the streets to prevent some of those murders," Clark said."... The street is always talking; you just have to be out there to hear what it is saying and redeploy people to prevent that.
"We have been the murder capital of Florida since 2012, so this has not just happened," he said."... You have to define the problem correctly."
