He didn't tell anyone because he knew he was breaking the law. He said he not would not resign, he shouldn't have the option to resign he already quit when he moved. Time to elect someone new that lives in the county.
You would lose 1/3 of the counties work force , this is an antiquated rule that has been used as a weapon to select employees and not others . The police chief can do everything in his job description , from a laptop in China, his physical presence is rarely required.
It just shows law enforcement doesn’t care about doing the right thing. I don’t think it’s a big deal for THE SHERIFF to live in the community he serves. He didn’t tell anyone because he knew it was shady.
Pretty sure he was officially retired from the sheriff's office once he was elected. His retirement/pension is paid to him for his job as an employee of the COJ/JSO not as a elected official. Two different things for 2 different jobs. Same thing for some who worked for the COJ, retired then ran for and won a seat on the Jacksonville city council.
That's like being a mayor for a city but not living there. It's a requisite for the job. Him playing ignorant is an insult to the community he is supposed to serve
He's not " playing ignorant ", instead of getting a clear opinion from the city attorney as to the legality of his change of residence, he took it upon himself to interpret the law. Strange, 99.9% of the rest of county employees had a different interpretation of the applicable law(s).
That's bull. Something happened but people are scared to say something. Usually when a Cheif or high ranked officer does something , they move and work in a different county. Something stinks and I had a bad feeling about this. We will never know unless it gets exposed.
If you do not agree with the rules then why take the job in the first place. Unfortunately, we now live in a world where our mostly republican law enforcement thinks the law does not matter to them and they can do whatever they want and we the citizens have to pay for it sometimes with our children's lives..
@@benmanning2611 So who exactly is getting fired up and why is it ok for him to break the rules. Don't you have some fake news to expose or maybe some fake voting ballots to uncover?
If there is a major incident at the southern border to St. Johns County it is an hour drive to get there from the southern Nassau county line or at least 45 minutes as a code response to get there all the while endangering the citizens he has sworn to protect.
Yep, I've been there, in Jax, and I don't blame him. It sucks, the people are nasty, bitter and horrible examples of what Florida is usually about! Too many outsiders have invaded it for 40+years!
I agree I have been her 40 years WE HELP build Jacksonville- however. This about the LAW!! his KNOWLEDGE of that LAW, And abiding by it as he has the citizens of Duval to do!! He did not tell cause he knew he would have to step down instead he got paid by the people 1 full year he owes US back!!
I gave a thumbs 👍 4 only 1 reason.. I'm from the Bronx ny and I've seen shady things in law enforcement, especially by guliani but the sheriff violating its own laws is no difference than any law being violated from within its own. Accountability. Aside the Oscar's slap where **MANY** Leo's witnessed an assault and *none did anything in arresting smith by own witnessing, imagine that !!.. State wide replacements all across the board. privileged ? Or bias ?¿
It's an old antiquated rule, from the time before cellphones and laptops, he could accomplish all of his duties from a laptop,,, on China , it would really make no difference .
The law was changed in 2010. Who cares where the man lives. It doesn't effect the job, you as the citizen, or anyone else. News4jax is stirring a pot for a story on this one
Or maybe for better schools, less congestion, family, or a load of other reasons that is none of our business. News4jax stirring a unnecessary pot and you all are falling for it
The cut throats and G's have became a problem for Jacksonville in a dangerous place to live" As they have grown a army in that region !! I know many of them and they don't play the radio.
Depending on where in Nassau he's technically closer to more of Jax than if he was in Southern border at St Johns line. Idk it's a meh issue being overblown given the metropolitan area unless he's unable to do his job properly
Boy the money must be really good. He knew something was wrong about the move cause it was hush, hush for a year. Surely you don't expect HIM to agree that he did something wrong. A good man wouldn't have done this. Stop giving credit where it's not due. Seems criminal. Seems he would have checked the legality of that move before he did it.
Okay under LAW- per Duval County, he was very aware- he can not live in another county. Now ?/ if We as citizen broke a LAW-Are you not allowed to follow rules, policies, and THE LAW? He and the staff of JSO would hold us accountable!! -
I don't see what the big deal is as long as the man continues to do his job who cares! I wouldn't want my kids raised there either with everybody trying to shoot everybody! Sad
It has nothing to do with being a good man, dedication to the people this is follow the rules. And additional he should have to pay- Duval people their funds back for 1 year. JSO do not pay for my gas why am I paying for his way to work? Alot of issues is wrong - with this. He knows the LAW HE DID NOT TELL CAUSE HE KNOW he has to STEP DOWN. According to the LAW, LAW, LAW!!!
Sometimes you just cant find suitable affordable housing. Did he make an effort to find a home in Duval county? How much longer is his term? And most importantly, would replacing him hurt the community?
I think if you going to be a Law-Enforcement officers I think you should live in the county that you work in because you take home a car the tax payer is paying for the gas to take to a other county and that not right
In this day and age , we do most everything over the phone or from a laptop , it doesn't matter where this man may is physically , he can do everything his job requires , from anywhere in the country . This is an old antiquated rule . ( we don't ride horses to work and can communicate with anyone in the world using the cellphone in our pocket. There's no reason to keep antiquated rules on the books that only remind people of how far the human race has come in the last 50 years .. ( who cares where he lives , it doesn't impact his efficiency at all , he's not required to do anything physical so his physical presence isn't really required..lol.
This chief of police is a good men it does matter to me if he lives in Nassau County as long as he does his job.and serve that people of the county. That my opinion.
We have 4 to 5 killings a day watch the news in the 5 AM - 6AM it will be added to. That is not 5 stars to me. I suggested the National Guard to help with a curfew when gangs moved to Jacksonville during and after the storm 2010! Look what we have now killings - territory land they do not own but rule!!
If the city wants control over law enforcement that they need to create their own municipal Police department the sheriff can only be relieved by the governor in the state of Florida and the city has no authority over the sheriff because the sheriff is a constitutional elected official
He moved to another county, he works for the people of Duval. Our city is very rich, and THE LAW says LIVE HERE, to protect the people!! Simple be on call- THE LAW says this. Now he is in LAW, it is his profession shall we say!! Now he breaks the LAW. and he is aware. Like you and I when we speed but we do!! If caught we pay fines I assure you JSO will give you a ticket... So now why stayed quiet? So now why he purchased a home in another county knowing the LAW? So now why he did not announce his house warming ? Simply he was aware- Cost back to the city Set down and his record is clean well next run in your new county RUN BUT FOR NOW IT IS CLEAR LEAVE PAY BACK NOT NECESSARY IN THAT ORDER!!
Probably Town commander just rent a small efficient in the city, change his address and keeping rowing the boat. Note: Then he could see for a roommate to keep the efficiency in good shape meanwhile he only pays half of the rent and haven't to do the cleaning. Just another business in town.😂🤣🤣
It’s LOCAL news, you brainlet. They cover things specifically relevant to Jacksonville. And considering how incompetent and uncaring the cops are here, the sheriff not even wanting to live in the city is news, especially if it turns out to break the rules.
I disagree- it has 0 to do with black or white because the people of Duval vote you in. However his decision of moving his family ID perfectly ok however his decision has a lot to do with his character!! His awareness to follow policy better yet THE LAW!! HE DID NOT SO HE OWE DUVAL BACK, LIVE HAPPY IN THE NEXT COUNTY, AND BEST WISHES.
i don't see anything wrong with it, has the right live where he wants just like anybody else as long as he reports to his job and he is still in the state of florida
@@jpb4264 they only care about rules when the other side breaks them. We learned that with trump in office, they could careless what rules he didnt follow because they liked him.. rules are rules and laws are laws and when people start giving slack to the people they like or in their party we end up with a screwed up country like the one we currently have.
Guys who really cares? This doesn't affect anyone. His personal residence has nothing to do with how he does his job. By Florida state law he is in the right. Stop getting worked up over irrelevant news
Should be terminated immediately and return 1yr salary
YES
He didn't tell anyone because he knew he was breaking the law. He said he not would not resign, he shouldn't have the option to resign he already quit when he moved. Time to elect someone new that lives in the county.
We will have our chance to elect someone new in less than a year.
I'm good with waiting that long.
That is exactly correct
The law is the law and it supposed to be the same for everyone
You would lose 1/3 of the counties work force , this is an antiquated rule that has been used as a weapon to select employees and not others .
The police chief can do everything in his job description , from a laptop in China, his physical presence is rarely required.
He should drive his personal vehicle home and to work. He can drive the police vehicle when in Duval County.
Pretty sure that's exactly what he does.
It just shows law enforcement doesn’t care about doing the right thing. I don’t think it’s a big deal for THE SHERIFF to live in the community he serves. He didn’t tell anyone because he knew it was shady.
He just announced he plans to retire June 10 th
He broke policy. Period. He should be held accountable instead of being allowed to retire and run.
Another case of ...
Rules for thee, but not for me.....
How dare an elected official act as he is above the rules that everyone else has to follow !
Of course he wont resign. He wants his full pension. But he broke the city's rule
That got changed in 2010
Pretty sure he was officially retired from the sheriff's office once he was elected. His retirement/pension is paid to him for his job as an employee of the COJ/JSO not as a elected official. Two different things for 2 different jobs. Same thing for some who worked for the COJ, retired then ran for and won a seat on the Jacksonville city council.
@@Hideaway904 well he don't want to cost the tax payer anymore money with court cost over moving a county over.
Get him up outta there we need policing who live in the places they police

You are on the money!! He ows us back 1 year salary his job is to uphold the LAW. He knew and he still stole from the citizens of DUVAL
He checked.... and ignored it. Apparently, people would be too incompetent to notice.

Couldn't tell anybody, because he got a good deal on that house.
Now he's in breach of the city Charter.
He can go rent a apartment in the city.
Sometimes you just cant find suitable affordable housing. Did he make an effort to find a home in Duval county? How much longer is his term? And most importantly, would replacing him hurt the community?
I really don’t think your questions matter, this seems to be a legal question.
Don’t him leaving would hurt the community considering the cops do literally nothing to prevent crime or respond to most of it here.
@@BeastMode-xl7rz sorry, I prefer common law to your "statutes"
We do not care how long!!! Yes he had a house in Duval- he sold it 1 yr ago !!
That's like running and winning the Presidency of the U.S., but living in Cancun, Mexico. See the problem here?
Simply put but yes exactly correct
And the sheriff support his men and he don't jeopardize them into danger. We have a good sheriff we better keep it that way.

Wrong each county has their own rules as well as State Statues!! He very well knew. Somebody just told on him!!
