SHERIFF’S ASSOCIATION ANNOUNCES LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES

Okaloosa County Sheriff Charlie Morris says the Florida Sheriff’s Association has now formulated its list of top legislative priorities. A major focus remains improving retirement benefits for high-risk employees, along with 9-1-1 operators and telecommunicators.

  Also in the statewide law enforcement spotlight: specific steps for modifying and strengthening the sexual predator and sexual offender legislation, also known as the Jessica Lundsford Act, increasing enforcement of red light running with automated cameras at intersections and other technologies, and strengthening state laws related to mutual aid agreements between city, county, and state law enforcement agencies.
