๐Œ๐จ๐ง๐๐š๐ฒ ๐Œ๐š๐ข๐ฅ We love ending the week on a high no ๐Œ๐จ๐ง๐๐š๐ฒ ๐Œ๐š๐ข๐ฅ We love ending the week on a high note, and messages like this definitely help do just that. The below message came in from a citizen, after they were helped by School Resource Deputy M. Brathwaite. Here is a portion of the message: โ€œI had a situation with an associate not returning my property. I live in Jacksonville and the other party lives in Gainesville. I called the Sheriffโ€™s Office and Deputy Braithwaite returned my call. After talking, the Deputy contacted the other party and resolved what was turning into an ugly situation, to an extremely smooth transition. I want to thank the Deputy for his amazing communication skills. Hats off and thank you Sir.โ€ WE SEE YOU. SRD BRATHWAITE!

FHP Sgt. J. Murphy and ASO Sgt. C. Hunt came to the rescue for both motorists, working together to change the damaged tires on both vehicles. Clearly our B team media folks were working today, because even a rookie knows you donโ€™t shoot from the rear ๐Ÿคฃ. All jokes aside, great work fellas! Sgt. Hunt really put his back (end) into this call for service๐Ÿ’ช . Stay Cool Florida. We are out here sweating our ๐Ÿ‘ off!
