I wish every state had a Sheriff Grady. The man is a treasure.
I think you mean every county. Every county has a sheriff and they all need the old school sheriffs like Sheriff Grady.
Amen, I'm sure a lot of people do!!!
Me too!
Wish every county had a sheriff like him I wonder how much criminal activity would lower If that happened
6:50 This is serious and he’s making jokes like it’s a stand up comedy. He’s part of the problem. 7:13
You don't know how bad this hits home for me. To see Sheriff Grady continuously run these operations is something I've not seen other agencies do. He doesn't mind calling out other agencies who are failing these victims. This means the world to me. Thank you for everything you do, Sheriff.
Sheriff Grady need to rest Matt Gaetz he’s the king of six trafficking😢😢😢😢 @itsnota.podcast
So he arrested a bunch of people for consensual sex and that means the world to you? Because he called it trafficking?
@ericgardner5548 And what are you hoping to achieve here? Trying to start an argument with someone you don't know? You really don't know the story behind each person. It DOES mean the world to me, and you don't need to know why. Now go bother other people.
@@ericgardner5548 lol literally
Some cops sleep with them women who are being escorts and sex workers in Tx
I'm not from Florida, but I'm so grateful and proud of this Sherif. Thank you for your service sir!
We love our Sheriff!! See him around a lot too 💗 I was born and raised in Polk county Florida my entire life
He's the real deal
lol my aunt lives right next to grady judds lakehouse on lake buffam
Can you imagine how many groups are in this Country? We need more Sheriffs stepping up! Thank you and your team!!! God Bless you and the victims!
Yes, we need more like Grady Judd AND real prosecutors to prosecute these crimes.
This man is BRAVE !! GOD please protect Sherrif GRADY 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Right. This is just one state and they are continuously doing busts. Weather it’s 5 or 205 ……they keep going. Cause it doesn’t stop and it’s not isolated. It’s literally everywhere. I wish the world realized that.
There's no victims they were all illegals
Sheriff Grady should testify in Congress and give the Biden administration an education on human trafficking prevention. Love Sheriff Grady!
Why? Biden nor his people would listen.
Sheriff Grady is a part of the government it is HIS job and that of other cities to do this job!
Do you want Biden to camp out in every city or run the local investigations himself! Do you think or just spew stupidity?
sheep
THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION DOES NOT CARE!!
In fact, Joe’s son, “the smartest guy he knows” is a customer of these types of enterprises!!
@@WyattRyeSway You mean "wouldn't". And yes, you are correct.
Thank you all for standing tall against this evil. God Bless you Sheriff Judd❤
he probably is in on it.
i know. these peeps are sheep@@JohnEastmanExAttyAtLaw
@@JohnEastmanExAttyAtLawwow your free government cellphone is still working
He does not stand up to criminal cops, he purposely hides their violations by refusing to put body cameras on them.
@@JohnEastmanExAttyAtLaw That's a horrible comment. We need more like him.
Thank you Sheriff Grady and the Police working with the Polk Co.!
Sheriff Grady cracks me up! Being both serious and humorous...I always enjoy his work and his viewpoint on crime...I love this LEO!
He is so extra!
And I am here for it! Love it!
.
. Great job, sheriff 👏👏👍🏻👍🏻🙏
So passionate. Gotta love it
I screamed when he said “we didn’t hang the jacket up backwards or follow any of those other rules” 😅😅😅The rules DO NOT apply to Sheriff Grady Judd🥳🥳🥳
@@Kcourt1996
Shots were fired…..😂😂
The Rock! 😂 welcome to it!
Grady for president
This Sheriff is an absolute Winner! He never stops in his determination to bring criminals to justice. I wish there were more like him. BEST Sheriff anywhere!
These "criminals" are lonely and poor consenting adults, almost exclusively. Consenting adults who were entrapped by law enforcement.
He is a grandstanding bully. He wasted a lot of law enforcement resources to harass citizens. Almost every crime discussed here had no victim.
Hes full of himself & doesn’t care about the people involved !!!
Exactly 😊
@@marvinsgardenproduce798Again, you think female illegal immigrants being pimped out under the threat of bodily harm, is consensual sex? You are the problem!
Im from Canada 🇨🇦 and i think everything Sherrif Grady does makes him a true hero!!!To the whole team who is involved god bless you all, may this send an example to the world......time to stop these criminals
Bollocks
Every state should have a sheriff grady.
Sheriff Grady Judd does this ALL the time and still arrests 228 disgustingly gross people. Prayers out to the 13 victims. Thank you once again Sheriff Judd.
Pray for them not to them. Not being ugly. It's just everyone is getting in this habit. We pray to God. Thanks for your prayers. I'm praying for them too. ❤😊
Praying does literally nothing. You might as well just sit in your house staring at the wall. Maybe consider donating to programs that help track down traffickers.
@@RepentfollowJesus prayers out to God for the victims was understood in her statement
so if being to if being tough on crime actually kept people from doing this it wouldn’t happen so much there would it
@@RepentfollowJesusoh please jesus isn’t giving you a gold star for misinterpreting what this person said and correcting ghen
Anyone doing any crime, of any sort in Polk county.
You’re crazy as hell. Grady closing more cases than First 48. 🙌🏾
America needs more Gradys
Facts
Sheriff Grady touched all over the vest. Not only is he a hero but a comedian. Love him!
Sheriff Grady is well needed ❤ thank you sir!
If every Sheriff had as much integrity and grit as Grady, this country would be better off!
And the White House and Washington need some integrity, too!
WHo do you THINK Opened Our Border ?? He has "ZERO" Integrity . He can CLOSE the BORDER with JUST a PEN ! 🖊️ he HAS TO BE getting "10% for The BIG GUY" 👀... THAT'S WHY he (JB) REFUSES to CLOSE the BORDER .
IF we don't get President Trump BACK INTO the White House
... This will only get BIGGER ..and WORSE !!
We need him at the border!!
You obviously don't know what integrity is.
@@eagardner99
I know exactly what integrity is and it's FOR SURE not ANYWHERE in DC!
People need to pay attention to their states and community because the politicians on the Hill are the ones keeping sht stirred up
So happy you are exposing these people for who they are!! I love it!!!! Wish we had more law enforcement officers like you!!!!!!!!
When they are having COPS dress up as hookers, and send them out to TEMPT MEN into wanting sex with them, it is called ENTRAPMENT, and it is evil. It is the same tactics that SATAN uses against humanity, and it is WRONG.
There's a lot of people in AMERICA'S LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES just like Judd
Prosution should be legalized
Why? Can’t get it with your charm? Have to pay?
@@ChoogeBecause SOME things should be left to WE THE PEOPLE to decide, NOT our dirty, TYRANT GVT. Even if we DISAGREE W THAT THING.
Thank You Sherriff!!! Good Job!!!
I’m not even from Florida and I still see more from this Sheriff than any other sheriff or department in the country… other departments- take notes! This man is a legend.
Every state needs this man!! I love his work and his viewpoint in everything. Thanks Sheriff Grady!
Remember Sheriff Clark...Wonder where he is now...Between both dangerous people could be removed and victims saved
There should be a Sheriff Judd in every city, excellent work!
Are you listening President Biden?
I wish they would detail him to Phila.
@@user-fu3fd3bf1x
Trump is...!!!
Sheriff Grady you are fabulous. I use to work these missions on the west coast. You show their pictures and really tell the bigger story. You also give credit to your partners. Thanks for all you do and showing the pics!
100 fold blessings to you Sheriff Judd
Thank you Sheriff Grady Judd. You are a man of honor. You actually seem to care more about the victims than not offending the people you arrest.
I'm so sorry you are mistaken I live here in Lakeland Florida helping the FBI build a case on him for sex crimes. Don't feel bad he fooled lots of people it doesn't make you ignorant
This is the most respectful Sheriff!
Thank You for all doing what so many other's will never do. We need someone like you and your team in every country in the USA.
I live in Davenport. Right next to Winter Haven, I can't believe the stuff that happens right next to you and you don't even know about it. I found out about this yesterday on TikTok and was mind blown. Good work, sheriff Grady.❤
See. Here is a Chief. And he is successful, because he listens to people in the community and the tips that come in. Unlike where I live , I've called The BCA, The FBI, and Homeland Security, they do nothing. Congratulations Sir. Your efforts are noticed worldwide. Fantastic Job !
Dem led city? Because their mostly lawless nowadays
Close, he is a sheriff overseeing an entire county where a chief oversees a municipality or city district. Either way, these positions are the " *Top Cops* " for their assigned areas. The sheriff's are voted in by the communities they serve where the chiefs are voted in and selected by the other city officials within the cities or district.
You are a moron, but I'm glad that you think FBI and Homeland Security are doing a lot of good work! You probably don't even understand where I'm getting that from. You shouldn't be allowed to vote considering you don't even know what a double negative is.
called them about what? tell another damn lie.
Who did you call on? 😂 and was it skin color related? And be honest 😂
Thank you Sheriff Grady for having the courage and spine to stand up against these horrible and evil policies being enacted by the Federal Government.
Sheriff Grady need to rest Matt Gaetz he’s the king of six trafficking😢😢😢😢 @itsnota.podcast
I'm so sorry you are mistaken I live here in Lakeland Florida helping the FBI build a case on him for sex crimes. Don't feel bad he fooled lots of people it doesn't make you ignorant
How in the world is human trafficking derived from federal government policy? Be specific.
Grady Judd for President! I moved from Polk county to Connecticut and I still follow what y’all are doing! I tell everyone about you!
Thank all of you guys and ladies for your hard work!!!!
Polk county Florida is home to the BEST
LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSON IN AMERICA, SHERIFF GRADY JUDD
When the cops dress up as hookers and go out TEMPTING MEN into wanting sex with them, it is called ENTRAPMENT, and it is WRONG. This is the same tactics that SATAN uses against humanity and it is pure evil. If Judd truly CARED about people, he would be exposing and fighting the absolutely HORRIFIC cryme against us by our own vileGVT, that I have tried to tell him abt several times and it goes IGNORED.
I hope they go after the illegals who’ve been employed by DoorDash and have been assisted by that company in securing work, cars and cell phones along with their jobs ALL OVER THE STATE and probably the rest of the country!!
Judd is great but doesn't work by himself. AMERICA'S LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES MEN AND WOMAN WORKING TOGETHER DAILY EVERYWHERE TIRELESSLY ENDLESSLY AND RELENTLESSLY DISMANTLING EVILNESS AND STOPPING EVILDOERS
@gasmith7486 I had no idea DoorDash employees illegals! We live in the boonies of East Texas and DoorDash doesn't come this far out. 😢
That is a damn lie!! He is a criminal pig that covers for other criminal pigs. He refuses to put body cameras on our employees for a reason. Thin blue line criminals…
BEST "SPEECH," I've EVER heard given by a sheriff! We need more like him. He captured my attention and I listened to the entire thing because of how well he spoke. Now I CARE MORE about what I didn't know about. WELL DONE SIR!
Grady Judd if a very educated man.
I'm so sorry you are mistaken I live here in Lakeland Florida helping the FBI build a case on him for sex crimes. Don't feel bad he fooled lots of people it doesn't make you ignorant
@@andycampano Who and what are you talking about?
@@nunya2954 are you a real person or a bot?
@@andycampano dumb question. you are not working with the FBI on Grady Judd or whomever you are talking about
I absolutely love watching pressers w Sheriff Grady!!!! If we all had Sheriff’s like him, the world would be a better place!!! He’s awesome!
No one is supposed to touch this jacket.😂😂😂😂😂 I love this man
I wish every sheriff were as diligent and determined and brave as this man!
I'm so sorry you are mistaken I live here in Lakeland Florida helping the FBI build a case on him for sex crimes. Don't feel bad he fooled lots of people it doesn't make you ignorant
Absolutely you're all a blessing. Save the children, young adults. 📖
Who says that the victims are kids??
@@gasmith7486They did not disclose the children victims. Why do you think the child trafficking departments were involved? It obviously wasn’t just young adult illegal women being pimped. All those children that go missing from the border… now you see where they are being taken.
This sheriff is an angel - as well as his officers.
Tremendous work. Thank you
I like when he says “ did you hear what I said “ I love that sheriff every county should have a sheriff like him . Thanks 🙏 sheriff you are the best ❤
Just heard him say it at 4:32 as I read your comment 👍
Thank you all for doing the hardest work a human can do!
The hardest?
Hardest. Yes.@@Thomas-wi7ti
The hardest work a man can do isn't being a chief of police nor catching human traffickers. The hardest job a man can do is be a great father to his children and supporting faithful husband for his wife and protect and provide for his family every single day regardless of how tired he is or how unhappy or burnt out he is.
Thank you for bringing as much publicity as possible. Regular everyday people need to be brought face to face with this scourge so they can no longer ignore it.
This is how every single officer should act and feel. Instead of going on a power trip over the smallest things. This man is well respected and loved because of his morals and point of views. I wish we had way more officers like this man everywhere 💯
Get them ALL Sherriff!
Grady Judd is the BEST!!!!
he did it all by himself
AMEN 🙏 🙏 🙏 ❤❤❤ LOVE HIM
Excellent police investigation, logistics, hours of backround calls all to crush this ring! Major blessings to these officers. So glad UA-cam posted this. Cheers to saving children, they will never forget! 58 victims in this last year, a compassionate team! Thank you.
I love Sheriff Grady. He is truly making a change. We need this in Pasco County. Thank all those who help take these people out of our streets.
This sheriff is a national treasure! Thank you and your team for an exceptional service. You Sr. And your team are all heros! Thank you from the boytow of our hearts!
Grady Judd is the BEST!!!😊 Thank you to everyone that has been a part of this operation! You are appreciated and I pray for your continued safety and well being.
I wish we all had our own Sheriff Grady! I love this man he is a national treasure.
Kkk sheriff.
I'm so sorry you are mistaken I live here in Lakeland Florida helping the FBI build a case on him for sex crimes. Don't feel bad he fooled lots of people it doesn't make you ignorant
@@andycampano not i. L know he's crooked. Kkk sheriff.
Outstanding! There are no words to describe the gratitude deserved. How come this is like the only person even getting anywhere with this kind of situation. This is happening everywhere and is very well known to be. We really need more of this! Thank you!
Who is this man and why is he not sitting in higher places. He is a blessing to this nation.
He gives Sheriff’s a good name. We need him everywhere!
Sheriff Grady need to rest Matt Gaetz he’s the king of six trafficking😢😢😢😢 @itsnota.podcast
Walton county in Santa Rosa county sheriffs need to arrest Matt Gaetz. Matthew Louis Gaetz ll💯🎬😤😤😤😤😤
Unbelievable that we have this happening in the USA - thank you Polk County and Lakeland Police Dept., and all of the other agencies that helped bust this disgusting operation
Incredible! Knowing that Polk county is seriously looking into these crimes, collaborating with several organizations and taking the time to inform the public and taking action is commendable.
Thank God for Each of you! 🙏🙏🙏
Stop letting people out of jail
he didn't let them out
Courts system lets them out !
America has more people jailed than any other country on earth….letting them out isn’t the problem… it’s not putting those in that belong there… I.e, trump
Agreed
People deserve a second chance . Jail isn’t a place to just hold you forever
Great work .., and let's remember what John Walsh always said " predators are always around our children in the form of public servants , teachers, coach , pastors etc "
And of course family 😢 members
Who said that the victims were children?? Adults get trafficked to. It’s glorified in rap music.
@@gasmith7486what do you mean? Half of these crooks worked in schools!
@@gasmith7486Most are children. There are some young adults. Some of those were taken as children and kept for many years.
@@gasmith7486I’ve seen u comment this under a few posts…WTF kinda rap songs u listenin to brotha?!?! Granted, I’m a loyal King Von super fan and always will be…I’m certain Sheriff Grady Judd wouldn’t have been too impressed by Von’s lengthy criminal record but, the boy was truly the greatest story teller in all of drill music…Nobody in the game will ever come close to the lyrical gangster that Von was…He really lived that life…Lived it and died by it…But at his core, he was a good human…He wasn’t out killing innocent ppl…His crimes were all related to gang rivalry…While it’s still wrong and illegal, the music that was made from the experiences that man lived in his short life will forever go down in history and he died a complete legend…Pls lmk what rappers u speak of that toss out bars about trafficking…I’m honestly curious…Rap is all I listen to and never ever have I heard an artist speak positively about s3xual trafficking of humans…Enlighten me pls…Look forward to ur reply so I can hear this for myself! If it’s true, let’s hope they ain’t in Fulton County!!! 😅😅😅
Sadly, but very true story 💯😔
This should be on National News!!!!
God bless you Sheriff Grady and your team.
Crediting others ontop of crediting your own law enforcement officers is commendable. Congratulations on the successful operation. You and all those involved in this operation deserve praise. Much Respect!
Love how he is so professional that he can even use his awesome personality he's so funny and yet doing such an important job
Excellent job!!! Thank you!! Blessings to all of you!!
Thank you Grady for all the very hard work you do. I wish we had a Grady here in Westherford Tx….
So proud of your team Sheriff Grady, also thanks for showing us how it's done!!!
Thank you all involved in this rescue.
Showing appreciation all the way from Michigan. Thanks Sheriff for all the hard work. This type of care and hard work is needed everywhere 👍🏽👌🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽❤️
Much love & respect from NH❤
Great work. Keep it up. Humanity needs people like you all.
Sheriff Grady is an amazing human!! Much love from PA
How do the officers in the background keep such a straight face? The sheriff is so funny, I love his humor
I am thoroughly impressed with the ability of the people standing behind him to keep a straight face. Grady is hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing with the biker jacket!
Omg same!
Me too. i am giggling at work! 😂
I see professionals who care about their community. This is great thing you all did. Thank you.
If you’re able to commit crime you’re able to work. Truest statement from sheriff Grady
Thank you!! ❤
we need about 5000 sheriffs like him, that actually give a crap about putting these criminals behind bars
CROOKED cops make a lot more money than Grady. LOL
Thank you, Grady Judd and everyone who worked so diligently to make these arrests and rescue the victims!!!!!
What victims?
@@eagardner99 the human trafficking victims. Did you not watch the same video? Human trafficking is a horrible thing, how tf do you not know that?!
@korymckelvey1845 yes, no victims. Just consensual adults.
Thank you for your dedication. 🎉
I love the style he uses at press conferences. Sheriff Grady is a treasure.
Every. Single. Time. I see this MAN he and his team have captured mfs in human trafficking!! He and is agency is doing the LORDS work.
Completely agree! May God watch over and protect these people as they do Gods work
Yep, I wish they would come here to Houston. Our streets is overrun with this type of garbage
God Bless you and your team Sheriff Judd, great job to you all and THANK YOU VERY MUCH for protecting the community and specially OUR CHILDREN👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Who says that the victims were children?? Grown adults are trafficked more than anyone.
@@gasmith7486keep educating people
Thank you Sheriff and team ..
Fabulous work 👏👏👏👏
❤ Sheriff Grady and his team! Keep up the amazing work your doing!.
Watching from Canada. Your doing a great job. So sorry you all have to deal with all the never ending evil, it must be very hard emotionally. Praying for your physical, emotional & spiritual protection.
YOU HAVEN'T SCRATCHED THE SURFACE. DIG A LITTLE DEEPER 2GET THE CRIMINALS IN HIGH OFFICE. PEACE&LUV
For real. There's 95k more to go atleast. I just heard there are 95k missing illegal children. Literally lost and cannot be located. Sold into slave labor and child s$x rings...disgusting.
As if the border sitch isn't already a massive cluster.
Think about your next vote real hard people. Don't believe what you hear, when your eyes and common sense tell you otherwise.
Dems have to go before there's nothing left of the US.
It's that bad. Don't for a second think it's not.
They're KNOWN it's a matter of time.
Say it again
@vanessawilliams... THIS 💯💯💯💯
Lol. You're naive. There's a reason they haven't released the countless tapes and DVD's that were recovered from Epsteins house. Those things will never see the light of day. The people up at the top make the laws, vote on the laws, write up the laws, prosecute the laws and are judges in the court of law. They all are in one big club and cover each other's behinds. Nobody at the top or in high places will ever be arrested and prosecuted. PERIOD.
Ty
He is absolutely 100% correct 💯
This blows my mind. I can't believe this is really happening in the world.
It's all about the Benjamin's 💰💰💰💰. No matter who gets exploited and used
This is a big part of the open border along with drug trafficking.
150 billion a year industry and the govt is involved look at bohemian grove,epstein island,how many more islands,disney I could go on and on sick
@taramcgavan7654 under a rock.
I fkn swear this sheriff deserves so much more attention! God bless him! Much respect to you sheriff 🫡🙏
Whyyyyyy is he like this😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 this Sheriff is hilarious 😆 I’m cracking up so hard
Thank you all for your hard work and dedication to your job, amazing job saving lives and arresting the dirtbags. Awesome 🙏
Sheriff Grady Judd is a beast!!!!
Thank you all for the great job you did in stopping this crime. From a Retired Paramedic, a S&R Dog and Handler Trainer and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦
I have so much respect and admiration for this sheriff. He is extra in every way! ❤
The number of arrests is always so much higher than the number of victims freed/rescued.
Great work to the sheriff and the police depts.
Love this Sheriff! Every county needs Sheriffs like this one!
SHERIFF GRADY IS THE G.O.A.T!!!! LOVE THIS MAN & ALL OF THOSE THAT SUPPORT HIM & THE BLUE!!! LOVE SHERIFF'S HALL OF SHAME & COMMENTARIES!!!!! HE HAS ME CRACKING UP!
Not supposed to touch it 😂 and he kept touching it lol I love it!!
