Spreading Christmas Cheer in Newberry! This eveni Spreading Christmas Cheer in Newberry! This evening, Sheriff Scott, Undersheriff Crews, and our amazing Community Relations Team had the honor of participating in the City of Newberry Christmas Parade! We were proud to partner with the talented students of the Newberry High School Criminal Justice Program as we celebrated the season with our community. Their enthusiasm, professionalism, and school pride made the day even more special. Events like this remind us how fortunate we are to serve such a supportive community and to work alongside future leaders who are already committed to learning, service, and public safety. Thank you to the City of Newberry for hosting a wonderful parade and to everyone who came out to share a smile, wave, or handshake along the route. From all of us at the Alachua County Sheriff’s Officeβ€”Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! πŸŽ…πŸš“βœ¨
