Farewell
Victimized Again
to Ann Resentencing
Hearing for Her Killer approaches
By Shirley Shaw
Ann Dugger
With sadness we at the Justice Coalition say
goodbye to our Executive Director, Ann Dugger,
who recently resigned. It’s hard to imagine working here without seeing her smiling face, hearing
her optimistic reassurance and encouragement,
and relying on her wise counsel as we go about
our daily tasks.
And it’s not just the JC staff who will miss her
– so will her friends in law enforcement, the State
Attorney’s Office, the media, and business associates who have supported our organization. And,
of course, the countless victims she has loved,
comforted and helped in so many ways throughout the years.
For the past two decades Ann has been the
heart and soul of the Justice Coalition, the face
everyone recognizes. Her sincerity and integrity
clearly shine through in what she says and does,
and her tremendous energy is always focused on
helping others – anyone who has a need. Devastated people who are victims of violent crime, or
who have murdered or missing loved ones, are the
reason we exist – to do whatever we can to alleviate their pain, meet their needs and accompany
them through the maze of the legal system as they
seek justice for their loss or assault.
When Ted Hires started the Justice Coalition
back in the mid ‘90s, Ann was one of the first persons he recruited for his team. Her background in
marketing and broadcasting – along with her compassion for people who are hurting – made her a
natural to work with him at the fledgling organization. In her various roles throughout the years
– Financial Support Coordinator, Victim Services
Practitioner, Executive Director since 2003 – Ann
has superbly represented the JC in our community, justifiably earning the admiration, respect
and affection of those who have interacted with
her.
She has successfully lobbied for new or
tougher laws regarding criminals and to benefit

By Ray Tuenge, Sr.
Maddie Clifton was a beautiful
8-year-old girl living in the San Jose
area when she was brutally murdered in November 1998. Her
neighbor, 14-year-old Josh Phillips,
beat her repeatedly with a baseball
bat, slit her throat, and then
stabbed her multiple times. He hid
her body in his bedroom under his
waterbed while he participated in
a massive search for Maddie by
law enforcement and the community. His mother found Maddie’s
body a week later.
Maddie was not the only victim of Phillip’s horrendous crime.
Her mother and her sister, who
was 11 at the time, have also suffered throughout the last 18 years
as they have dealt not only with
her brutal murder but with the
never-ending legal wrangling over
her murderer’s legal rights.
Now, as a result of U.S.
Supreme Court decisions, Phillips’
attorneys will petition the court to
reduce his life sentence, and once
again Maddie’s family will be re-revictimized. The Justice Coalition
has been instrumental in assisting
family members of such horrible
crimes through the legal system,
and the State Attorney’s Office
(SAO) has requested our assistance
during the upcoming re-sentencing
hearings. Our Senior Victim Advocate Lysa Telzer will be in court to
provide support for Maddie’s family – her mother, Sheila DeLongis;
father, Steve Clifton; and sister, Jessica Clifton – through their current
ordeal.
Phillips was tried as an adult
and convicted in July 1999. He was
sentenced to life in prison without
the possibility of parole, and his
sentence was upheld in 2002 by an
appeals court. In November of last
year, Phillips’ attorneys began to
seek re-sentencing based on recent
U.S. Supreme Court decisions.
We interviewed Assistant State
Attorney Bernie de la Rionda for
clarification of the legal basis of
Phillips’ latest legal attempt to reduce his sentence. He told us defense attorneys have filed two legal
motions, the first of which relies on
two recent Supreme Court cases. In
2005, the Supreme Court ruled
(Graham v. Florida) that juveniles
convicted of a non-homicidal crime
could not be sentenced to life without parole. This case required the
states to give juveniles an opportu-
nity to demonstrate that they have
matured and have been rehabilitated.
In 2012, the Supreme Court
ruled (Miller v Alabama) that minors under 18 at the time of committing a murder could not be
sentenced to mandatory life sentence without allowing an opportunity to consider at a future date
the defendant’s background. To
conform to the U.S. Supreme
Court’s rulings, Florida passed
laws that provide an opportunity
for hearings for offenders sentenced for crimes committed while
they were minors. As a result,
Phillips’ attorneys started in November seeking a hearing to obtain
a reduced sentence to less than life.

When Our Heroes Are Victims
By Mayor Lenny Curry
On May 4, I urged citizens to
join me in supporting law enforcement officers and remembering
those whose lives were lost in the
line of duty by proclaiming that
day Jacksonville Police Memorial
Day. Sheriff Mike Williams, Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office (JSO), the family and friends
of Jacksonville’s fallen officers and I honored the
memory of 61 Jacksonville law enforcement officers
who lost their lives in service to our great city.
The tribute, which took place in front of the Police
Memorial Building, included a final roll call reading,
a 21-gun salute, flag-folding ceremony, and a missing
man flyover from JSO’s aviation unit.
Too often, we fail to recall that every day men and
women risk their lives for the benefit of our community. It’s an incredibly sad day when our heroes are
victims. It takes great courage and character to answer
the call of service to protect the freedoms of citizens
throughout this community.
Officers escort family members of fallen officers to the ceremony on May 4, 2016.

Here in Jacksonville, more than 1,700 men and
women have selflessly answered that call. The next
time you see one of them, take a moment to offer
thanks, and remember to pay homage to the slain officers and their families who have sacrificed their lives
for our safety.
JSO, we thank you and honor the contributions
you make to improving lives and communities.

New Laws – Juvenile Records
By Jay Howell
There
has been a
significant
amount of
misunderstanding
and myths
concerning the public or private nature of juvenile criminal history records. These
documents are sometimes referred to as a "rap sheet.” If the
juvenile criminal court system
is confidential, then why are
some of these records available
to the public?
This is a confusing area of
the law. Florida has two
statutes,
§985.04(1)
and
§943.053, that concern the confidentiality of juvenile records
and when they may be released. Juvenile offender
records have traditionally
been confidential and treated
differently from other records
in the criminal justice system.
As a general rule, access to the
records of juvenile offenders is
limited.
There are exceptions. For
instance, photographs of juveniles may be shown by a law
enforcement officer to a victim
or witness to a crime for the
purpose of identifying the perpetrator. These same photos
may also be used in a photographic lineup or “photo
spread.”
The 2016 session of the
Florida legislature has attempted to clear up some of
the confusion and inconsistency in the law. This year, the
Legislature passed a bill that
reaffirmed the basic confidentiality of juvenile criminal history
records
but
also
addressed the records that
would not be confidential. The
new law specifies that the following juvenile records are not
confidential and exempt:
• the records of a juvenile
who is taken into custody by
law-enforcement for the violation of the law which, if committed by an adult, would be a
felony;
• the record of a juvenile
who is charged with a violation of law which, if committed by an adult, would be a
felony;
• the record of a juvenile
who has been found to have
committed an offense, which if
committed by an adult, would
be a felony; or
• the record of a juvenile
who has been transferred to
adult court.
The new law also removed language which stated
that the records of juveniles
who had committed three or
more misdemeanors are not
confidential. Now, those
records are confidential and
exempt.
Juvenile criminal history
information is available to
criminal justice agencies, the
person to whom the record relates or their attorney, or the
parent, guardian, or legal custodian of the person to whom
the record relates.
Until 1994, law-enforcement agencies generally could
release only the name and address of juveniles age 16 and
older who had been charged
with or convicted of certain
crimes. In 1994 the laws were
modified and expanded to
provide that if the crime committed by the juvenile would
have been a felony if committed by an adult, then the identity of the juvenile perpetrator

Our monthly recognition for the best of the best
Police Supervisor of the Month
Dennis E. Pellot
Sergeant Dennis Pellot, assigned to Patrol Zone 4 which
includes the Westside of the city, is recognized for his overall work ethic and lengthy list of contributions to the
agency. Once assigned to work in JSO’s International Affairs Office, last fall he was a special guest on a local Hispanic radio show, where he conversed about crime
prevention, talked about recruitment efforts at JSO and
discussed the functions of the International Affairs Unit
on its ten-year anniversary. He was one of the Unit’s original members.
Last August, Dennis facilitated a community meeting with business owners in
the Riverside area who were upset over police response times after the murder of
a restaurant employee in the area. He worked with the Communications Center
Staff and his Assistant Chief to effectively address the concerns of these business
owners.
In addition he:
• Managed and supervised Zone 4’s part of the traffic safety grant funded by
the Florida Department of Transportation. This grant focuses on educating pedestrians, bicyclists and drivers and decreasing crashes and fatalities.
• He organized a plan to address crime in Zone 4 during the summer months.
This resulted in a 30 percent decrease of violent crimes and property crimes in the
designated areas.
• He also oversaw the holiday overtime budget and was responsible for planning the safety and traffic enforcement for the 32nd annual Luminaria Festival that
took place in December in the Riverside/Avondale area.
• He assisted NAS-JAX with its National Night Out and with updating general
and operational orders.
In late 2015, Dennis and his team began planning for Zone 4’s second annual
Safety Fair at the Oakleaf Town Center in mid-January this year. His responsibilities
included coordinating volunteers who assisted at the event and getting the word
out to the community.
Sheriff Williams said, “Dennis, thank you for your dedication to community engagement. I am honored to present you with the Police Supervisor of the Month
Award.”
Corrections Supervisor of the Month
Jason A. Rogers
Corrections Lieutenant Jason Rogers is the first Lieutenant to be honored in the “Supervisor of the Month” for
police and corrections categories since it was opened to
those with this rank last fall. Jason, who works in the Services Unit at the prison, is recognized for outstanding work
performance and leadership that he displays each day. He
oversees the prison’s warehouse and procurement operations, maintenance, compliance and accreditation, food
services, and the Prison Industries which include the mattress, alterations, embroidery and welding shops.
In addition, he is also the Lieutenant for “A New Leash on Life” – the pet adoption program run out of MCC. This program, started in 2013, teaches inmates how
to train dogs using positive reinforcement techniques, reducing the likelihood of
these animals being euthanized. If dogs living at the prison for eight weeks are
well trained, they are more adoptable. Inmates enrolled in this program also reap
the benefits, as it helps reduce their stress level and teaches them valuable life skills
including teamwork, responsibility, patience, and job skills relating to canine care
and training.
This program has become the DOC’s flagship vocational program. Its success
has caught the attention of the media and raised the profile of the non-profit organization, Pit Sisters, and the Jacksonville Jaguars. Fifty-five dogs have completed
the program and been adopted, and three inmates in the program are employed
in the animal care business. One of them received a scholarship from the Taylor
Foundation to attend the Penn Foster Dog Obedience Trainer Certification Course
to become a licensed canine trainer.
Jason is also responsible for coordinating the construction of the new Health
and Rehabilitative Facility at the prison, a project started in 2012 and begun last
June. He conducted research into what would be needed in the clinic and worked
with city architects, building engineers and the JSO medical department to develop
a detailed plan and create blueprints for the new facility. He determined projected
costs for this project and what effect its construction would have on the overall operations at the prison.
Jason and his team also spearheaded numerous cost-saving projects throughout
the past few years, including the combination of inmate mattresses and pillows
into one product (saving $20,000 a year). The Alterations Shop saves the department nearly $30,000 by making needed alterations for JSO uniforms in-house utilizing inmate labor. Last fall Jason’s team added an Embroidery Shop that will help
save taxpayers’ dollars. Most recently, he worked with Aramark, food service
provider, to develop the “In-2-Work” program, which offers culinary and restaurant management training for the inmate population.
Jason was recently awarded a partial scholarship to attend Jacksonville University’s Prestigious Masters in Public Policy Program. In the past few years numerous
staff working under his command have received Supervisor, Officer and the Civilian of the Month and Year awards – yet another example of his leadership abilities
and high standard he sets for himself and his team.
Chief of Prisons Division Mike Devlin said, “He expects the best of himself and
his staff and that is reflected in their consistent outstanding work performance.
Hands down, Jason has one of the most productive, tight knit teams I have seen
and had the pleasure to work with during my entire career.”
JUNE 2016
Police Officer of the Month
Eric L. Jones
Detective Eric Jones, assigned to JSO’s Violent Crimes
Task Force Unit, is honored for the dedication and persistence he displayed when investigating the case of a JSO officer and his family who were victimized. One evening
last July, the residence of an undercover detective was
shot at several times while the officer, his wife and children were sleeping inside. The investigation showed that
the bullets entered the home near the location of one of
the kids’ beds, where the child happened to be sleeping at the time.
The Violent Crimes Task Force was called to the scene to investigate this serious
crime. Eric was assigned as the lead detective in this case and worked tirelessly to
find who was responsible for this potentially fatal incident, often working many
extra hours and during the weekends. He interviewed numerous persons of interest and coordinated with the JSO Gang Unit, so there would be good coordination
and extra manpower to assist in locating gang members who may have had helpful
information.
Despite hitting what seemed to be a dead end, Eric refused to give up. He led
efforts that resulted in gathering enough testimony and ballistic evidence to identify a suspect and make an arrest. The suspect has been charged with four counts
of Attempted Second Degree Murder and one count of Shooting Into an Occupied
Dwelling. The case is currently pending prosecution.
Detective Jones’ supervisor, Sergeant Bobby Lyle had this to say: “It comes as
no surprise to observe the relentless and tireless effort that Detective Jones put into
dissecting this case as he does with every case he is assigned. Through his efforts,
an unknown juvenile violent crime gang was revealed. The leader became the main
subject in Jones’ investigation. He was able to determine that although the undercover detective was not the target of the shooting, a member of his family was.
After many interviews and a complete examination of the players involved in this
juvenile gang, Jones was able to arrest the shooter and several other participants
who are all still awaiting trial. Because of his effort, the JSO Crime Analysis Unit
and the JSO Gang Unit have been able to gather an immense amount of information about this gang, which caused its rapid disbandment.” Sheriff Williams said, “Eric, thank you for your dedication to solving this case.
Your dedication to your brothers and sisters in blue does not go unnoticed. I am
honored to present you with the Police Officer of the Month Award.”
Corrections Officer of the Month
David L. Lucas
Corrections Officer David Lucas, a Technology Security
Officer at the Montgomery Correctional Center, is recognized for assisting with a project that led to cost savings
and is commended for his overall approach to his job.
In 2015, while the prison was undergoing a facilitywide control panel and intercom upgrade, David singlehandedly supervised the removal of the old equipment
and the entire installation process of the new equipment.
This project took several months to complete and he voluntarily worked longer days to not only accommodate the
schedule of the contractors, but to expedite the installation process.
David also offered to perform some of the labor involved with the installation.
He and Eric Moore, an electrician who works at the prison, assisted with running
new communication cables and wiring. This saved taxpayers nearly $25,000
throughout the course of this project.
In addition to working on lengthy projects such as that one, David also serves
as the prison’s liaison with JSO’s IT Department; he is the “go-to” person regarding
all hardware- and software-related issues at the facility. His day-to-day responsibilities also include:
• Maintaining all security key and lock inventories for the facility. This includes
all of the personally issued key sets for approximately 150 employees, the entire
key box inventories for the buildings at the prison as well as the key logs.
• He also uses his skills as a certified locksmith to assist with lock and key repairs throughout the compound. He is known for having keys repaired or replaced
within minutes so that normal operations of the facility are not affected.
• David also works with outside contractors who complete the maintenance
and repairs for all internal and external electronic gates; this includes ID scanners
that are used throughout the compound.
• Also under David’s purview of responsibility is maintaining and updating
the prison’s Intranet page so that employees can access it for any vital information
they may need during their shift.
Finally, David volunteers to help with community outreach and educating citizens about the prison by assisting with the semi-annual presentation to the Citizen’s Police Academy class and by representing the facility at Safety Fairs held
throughout the city.
Corrections Lieutenant Stephan Starling said, “David is constantly juggling numerous projects simultaneously while neglecting none of them. [He] continuously
exceeds the expectations of his supervisors, and he goes above and beyond what
is expected of him on a daily basis.”
Sheriff Williams said, “David, your willingness to go above and beyond what
is expected of you does not go unnoticed. Thank you for all your hard work and
dedication to this agency. I am honored to present you with the Corrections Officer
of the Month award.”

The Justice Coalition was founded in 1995, when one man’s priorities were changed. Ted Hires was
the average businessman working 60 to 80 hours a week and looking out for himself until the day
when he and his staff were robbed at gunpoint. As a victim of a crime, Ted found the crminal justice system worked harder for the criminal than the victim. As a result of his experience, Ted
formed a (501(c)(3)), non-profit organization, Justice Coalition, which continues Ted’s mission of
assisting innocent victims of violent crimes in the Fourth Judicial court system. Since 1995, the
Justice Coalition has been fighting crime every step of the way. Fugitives captured are through a
partnership with local law enforcement agencies, the media, and citizen involvement.

By Angela Corey
State Attorney
4th Judicial Circuit
We often receive phone
calls, letters or greeting cards
from our victims thanking us for
helping them through the complicated legal process and seeking justice in
their cases. However, what you may not realize
is that we are also contacted by those we prosecute. Recently, a defendant we will call “Chris”
sent us a letter at the State Attorney’s Office
thanking us for helping him get his life back on
track.
Chris told me a little about his story in a
two-page letter. “I was sentenced to a year in
county (jail) with special conditions that I complete the Matrix Program. This was possibly
the best thing for me in my own opinion, rather
than doing prison time,” Chris said. He then
went on to share how by sending him to Matrix, a drug treatment program, allowed him to
identify his addiction as well as other negative
behaviors. “I have become a better person in
my recovery,” Chris noted in his letter.
In fact, Chris made the decision to extend
his time in the Matrix Program in order to
“work on some unfinished issues.” He successfully completed several classes such as the
“Thinking for a Change” and MADD Victim
Impact Panel class. He also decided to complete the Literacy Tutor program in order to
help other inmates with their education.
Chris told me that he was, “…very thankful for you giving me a second chance; a new
beginning…I can’t express how grateful I am to
be in the position I am at considering where I
should be.”
To read the full letter, go to
https://www.scribd.com/doc/306517668/Defendant-Letter. Chris’ story is just one of many
examples of how we carefully review each case
and make the appropriate decision to seek justice for our victims, keep the community safe
and help those who deserve a second chance.
The Matrix House Substance Abuse Program
River Region Human Services has successfully managed an in-jail substance abuse treatment program known as the Matrix House for more than 20 years. Located inside the Community Transition Center (CTC), Matrix House provides a secure in-jail treatment program
specifically for clients who must serve a jail sentence, but have also been identified as having a
substance abuse/dependency problem with drugs or alcohol.
The Matrix House program consists of four months of treatment, followed by 12 months
of Aftercare. All clients referred to the program are screened by River Region to ensure they
meet program criteria and then evaluated by the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office to confirm they
meet additional criteria to be housed at a minimum security facility. The Matrix House program can serve 135 clients, (85 men and 50 women). Each client is
assigned an individual counselor while receiving treatment services during the four-month program to ensure individualized care.
Referrals can be made by Duval County Judges, State Attorneys, JSO, etc., as well as family
and friends or self-referral. Clients must be Duval County residents and have a substance
abuse/dependence diagnosis. Services provided include screening for substance abuse and
mental health issues, educational classes, individual/group counseling, support groups and employment skills training.
For more information or to schedule a screening, call (904) 798-4330 ext. 211.

Maddie
– Continued from page 1
The second motion by Phillips’ attorneys claims that his trial attorney was ineffective during the first trial. Judge
Waddell Wallace ruled in January that his
attorneys could proceed with their appeal
under both motions. A status hearing has
been set for June 14.
At a future hearing his lawyers will
argue mitigating factors allowed under
Florida law, including the defendant’s age,
maturity, intellectual capacity, and mental
and emotional state at the time of the offense, as well as the defendant’s background and the effect of immaturity,
impetuosity, and “characteristics attributable to youth on the defendant’s judgment.”
De la Rionda informed us he will
argue that Phillips deserves the life sentence he originally received because of
several factors, including the horrible nature of the murder and the effect of the
crime on the victim’s family and the community. Lysa Telzer will work with the
SAO and with family members to ensure
that the court understands Phillips’ horrendous actions 18 years ago still affect
their daily lives, as well as the entire community.
We interviewed Maddie Clifton’s
mother and sister so they could communicate to readers of the Victims' Advocate
how the legal maneuverings of the legal
system have impacted their lives since
Maddie’s murder. Ms. DeLongis told us
that, while the legal system ensures that
Josh Phillips gets all his constitutional
rights, the rights and needs of the family
members of victims of such hideously vi-
Sheila DeLongis (Maddie Clifton’s mother)
with JC Victim Advocate Lysa Telzer.
olent crimes have at times been neglected;
they have been “re-victimized” time and
time again. Her marriage and family life
has forever been affected by the pain of
losing her beautiful daughter.
Meanwhile, she has had to listen all
these years about how Phillips was “just a
boy” and how he “matured” in prison.
She said the court system is sometimes insensitive to the effect of legal proceedings
on the family members. For example, a
hearing was held in November last year
on the 17th anniversary of Maddie’s disappearance, creating a tremendous strain
on her emotions at the time. Also, after she
moved out of the city to a remote area,
seeking peace and calm, she discovered
that a sex offender was allowed to move
into a house across the street.
Despite the pressures of such re-vic-
timization, Ms. DeLongis can be proud
that she raised Maddie’s sister to become
a very accomplished adult. Jessica, who
was a Jacksonville Jaguar cheerleader for
two years, attended the University of
North Florida. After obtaining a degree in
Criminal Justice, she worked in the State
Attorney’s Office for several years and
now works as a paralegal and as a dance
instructor.
While working at the SAO, Jessica became very involved in Phillips’ case. At
one point, she corresponded with Phillips
and even tried to visit him in prison but
was prevented by his attorneys. Although
she kept an open mind during her communication with him, she concluded that
he was still a very dangerous person. She
strongly believes that Phillips should remain in prison for life.
Even though she also feels the ongoing legal proceedings are a form of re-victimization, Jessica is more concerned
about the effect on her mother. She said
she has grown to appreciate how much
her mother shielded her from the publicity
and turmoil surrounding her sister’s murder. Otherwise, she may not have been
able to grow up normally and be as happy
and successful as she is. She is currently
engaged and plans to marry next year.
For victims’ families, the road to justice seems unending, even though the
criminals have perhaps been sentenced
long ago. The first of many hearings regarding Phillips will begin this month
and, hopefully, will eventually lead to a
final resolution.
Logistics of Body Cameras for Police
By Sheriff
Mike Williams
In light of the [recent
police-involved] shooting,
public discussion has once
again turned to body cameras, and I will again reiterate my position on this. I continue to
support the use of body cameras by police. I know that a large amount of citizen
complaints and other allegations of
wrongdoing can be effectively handled
with this tool. We have been looking into
body cameras. There have been statutory
corrections made to the law recently
which will help.
The challenge for large law enforcement agencies like JSO is the funding
AND the sustainability of camera programs. We have to ensure that every police officer is outfitted – this can’t be
random or partial. We have to ensure that
the hardware and software are properly
maintained with upgrades and required
maintenance. And, the unknown costs of
ever-increasing storage of the data must
be considered, as our storage/infrastructure needs will grow exponentially as officers’ video is downloaded, stored,
reviewed, edited for legal exemptions,
etc. Infrastructure requires that we have
all the resources needed to fill records requests.
Once we start the program we cannot
simply do away with it because of a lack
of revenue. This isn’t something a grant
can be used to pay for, because grants do
not automatically recur each year. Stability for a body camera program is possible
ONLY with a continual annual revenue
commitment – it must be sustained once
it begins. The start-up cost is estimated at
$3-$5 million. This expense must be
looked at in the context of the annual essential costs of hiring, training, and outfitting officers with cars, computers,
software, uniforms, guns, ECDs, bullets,
salaries, healthcare, pension costs and
everything associated with the operation
of one of the nation’s largest police agencies.
Undersheriff Ivey and I spent a day
[recently] speaking with community
leaders. I want to thank them for taking
the time to have conversations with us
and for allowing us to answer their ques-
tions. Our commitment to the community
includes working with organizations that
want to have productive dialogue and
work together on solutions as we address
the issues of crime and violence in our
community and policing in the 21st century.
Pros to Police Body Cameras
• The necessity to record every interaction with residents is bound to minimize
complaints about police officer behavior and the unnecessary use of force, because
interactions are captured for everyone to see.
• Use of the cameras while on-duty provides hard video evidence of decisions
made by officers in high intensity situations.
• Video recorded by body cams protect any false accusations, misconduct, or
abuse against officers.
• Increases transparency and accountability of officers.
• May help prevent and de-escalate confrontational situations between officers
and civilians.
• May help provide valuable evidence in obtaining accurate witness and victim
statements.
• Video footage captured may help speed up court proceedings by providing indisputable proof of situations. This may lead to a reduction in court expenses due to
an increase in pre-trial plea bargains or possibly an increased rate of convictions.
Cons or concerns to police body cameras
• According to early versions of policies governing their use, law enforcement
officers must physically activate the camera when they exit their patrol car. The
recording equipment must be manually activated when interacting with civilians or
recording statements during investigations. However, officers decide when to activate the camera, and for how long the footage is stored, and if and when should it be
made accessible to public. For example, the camera can be deactivated when interviewing a victim of sexual assault, to maintain the victim’s privacy.
• Privacy issues are of concern for both cops and civilians. How to deal with
those concerns is still being evaluated.
• Use of body cameras may prevent people from coming forward as credible
witnesses to help assist with investigations, due to fear of retaliation or fear of public
exposure.
• Technological issues related to the cameras may prevent proper functioning at
times. This could be due to a dead battery, damaged components, obstructed lens,
and other problems. This could result in personnel missing important witness statements or crucial behavior by officers or citizens.
• The equipment is expensive. Potential costs involved in their use include the
cost of the device itself, ongoing maintenance, and costs associated with storing and
maintain the video footage and recorded data that is collected. In addition, costs
would be associated with cataloging and retrieving footage in response to subpoenas, investigations and public information requests.
The issue is the subject of ongoing debate by public officials, city governments
and even members of Congress.

However,
statutory bans
While Flakka fades, new threats emerge
Last year, as students
were counting the days till
summer break, I issued a
warning to parents. Flakka, a
deadly synthetic drug imported from China, was
flooding Florida, leading to
some bizarre police reports
and in the most unfortunate
cases overdose deaths. Flakka
was dubbed “Five Dollar Insanity” because it was inexpensive and caused users to
engage in psychotic behavior.
According to reports, one
Flakka user impaled himself
on a fence outside a police
station after taking the drug.
A Florida teen, reportedly
high on Flakka, stripped off
her clothes and jumped
through a closed window,
shattering the window pane
and causing severe lacerations. A Broward Grand Jury
report issued in January
linked Flakka to 61 deaths in
Broward County alone.
While the Flakka craze
appears to be on the decline,
the threat posed by synthetic
drugs remains. Florida law
enforcement officers are seeing spikes in the use of synthetic marijuana known as
“Spice” in Hillsborough and
Pinellas Counties. Videos are
surfacing online showing
Spice users slumped over
park benches or sprawled on
the ground in chemical-induced stupors.
Because – shockingly –
these substances were legal, I
acted swiftly to place them on
a temporary emergency
schedule, then immediately
went to work with state lawmakers to permanently ban
new compounds. Through
these efforts, we outlawed
more than 130 chemical compounds found in a host of
harmful synthetic drugs, put
drug dealers on notice, raised
awareness and saved lives.
But more needed to be done.

enforcement deal with constantly changing new and

Make Summer Safe for Kids
Summer is a great time for kids to enjoy different
indoor and outdoor activities. Whether they are young
children or teens, learn ways to keep your kids safe
and healthy while they enjoy the summer fun.
Master water safety
Water-related activities are popular for
getting physical activity and have many health benefits.
Here are some tips to stay safe while having fun:
• Learn how to prevent recreational water
illnesses and help protect yourself and your kids.
• Help kids get H2O Smartz1 about water safety.
Drownings are the leading cause of injury death for
young children ages 1 to 4, and three children die
every day as a result of drowning.
• Always supervise children when in or around
water. A responsible adult should constantly watch
young children.
• Teach kids to swim. Formal swimming lessons
can protect young children from drowning.
• Learn cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Your
CPR skills could save someone’s life.
• Install a four-sided fence around home pools.
• Recreational boating can be a wonderful way to
spend time with family and friends. Make boating
safety a priority.
• Wear a properly fitted life jacket every time you
and your loved ones are on the water.
Beat the heat and sun
Heat-related illness happens when the body’s temperature control system is overloaded. Infants and children up to 4 years of age are at greatest risk. Even
young and healthy people can get sick from the heat if
they participate in strenuous physical activities during
hot weather. For heat-related illness, the best defense is
prevention.
• Never leave infants, children, or pets in a parked
car, even if the windows are cracked open.
• Dress infants and children in loose, lightweight,
light-colored clothing.
• Schedule outdoor activities carefully, for morning and evening hours.
• Stay cool with cool showers or baths.
• Seek medical care immediate if your child
has symptoms of heat-related illness.
Just a few serious sunburns can increase you and
your child's risk of skin cancer later in life. Their skin
needs protection from the sun's harmful ultraviolet
(UV) rays whenever they're outdoors.
• Cover up. Clothing that covers your and your
child's skin helps protect against UV rays.
• Use sunscreen with at least SPF (sun protection
factor) 15 and UVA (ultraviolet A) and UVB (ultraviolet
B) protection every time you and your child go outside.
Keep mosquitos and ticks
from bugging you this summer
Protect yourself and your family by preventing
bites and diseases, like West Nile virus and Lyme disease, which can be transmitted by insects.
• Use an effective insect repellent while playing
outdoors.
• Make your backyard a tick-safe zone.
• Check yourself and your children for ticks. Ticks
are easy to remove.
Prevent Injuries
Each year in the United States, emergency departments treat more than 200,000 children ages 14 and
younger for playground-related injuries. Falls at home
and on the playground are a common cause of injury.
• Check to make sure that the surfaces under playground equipment are safe, soft, and well-maintained.
• Supervise young children at all times around fall
hazards, such as stairs and playground equipment.
• Use stair gates, which can help keep a busy, active child from taking a dangerous tumble.
A concussion is a type of traumatic brain
injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head that
can change the way your brain normally works. Concussions can occur in any sport or recreation activity.
• Learn concussion signs and symptoms and what
to do if a concussion occurs.
• Make sure kids and teens wear the right protective equipment for their sport or recreation activity.
Parents can take many actions to protect their children's health and safety at home.
• Stay smart around the house by following tips on
fire prevention, microwave use, and living with pets.
• The secret word is father.
• Learn healthy home tips for each room in the
house.
Young workers have high job injury rates. Hazards in
the workplace, inexperience, and lack of safety training may increase injury risks for young workers.
• Know their rights, employer and teen worker responsibilities, and what teens under 18 can’t do.
Stop the violence
• Kids can use electronic media to embarrass, harass, or threaten their peers. Take steps to prevent electronic aggression, a term that captures all types of
violence that occur electronically.
• As teens develop emotionally, they are heavily
influenced by their relationship experiences, including
teen dating. Protect your children from teen dating violence. Nearly one in 10 teens reports having been hit
or physically hurt on purpose by a boyfriend or girlfriend at least once over a year’s time.
ORIGINS OF FATHeR’S dAY
On July 19, 1910, the governor of the Washington state
proclaimed the nation’s first Father’s Day. However, it was
not until 1972, 58 years after President Woodrow Wilson made
Mother’s Day official, that the day became a nationwide holiday in the United States.
On July 5, 1908, a West Virginia church sponsored the nation’s first event explicitly in honor of fathers, a Sunday sermon in memory of the 362 men who had died in the previous
December’s explosions at the Fairmont Coal Company mines
in Monongah, but it was a one-time commemoration and not
an annual holiday.
Dedicated to the advancement
of the law enforcement profession
through education, communication
and an informed program of
legislation.
There are more than 70 million
fathers in the United States.
The next year, a Spokane, Washington, woman
named Sonora Smart Dodd, one of six children raised by a
widower, tried to establish an official equivalent to Mother’s
Day for male parents. She went to local churches, the YMCA,
shopkeepers and government officials to drum up support for
her idea, and she was successful.
Slowly, the holiday spread. In 1916, President Wilson honored the day by using telegraph signals to unfurl a flag in
Spokane when he pressed a button in Washington, D.C. In
1924, President Calvin Coolidge urged state governments to
observe Father’s Day. In 1972, Richard Nixon signed a proclamation making Father’s Day a federal holiday at last.

By Ray Tuenge, Jr.
The Justice Coalition relies
heavily on the dedication and
hard
work
of
many
volunteers. None has been
more dedicated or hard
working than Cindy Mouro,
who has performed many
administrative functions as
well as serving as lead
volunteer. In this role, she has
assumed responsibility for
ensuring that all volunteer
activities of the JC are carried
out effectively and efficiently.
Volunteers at JC perform
such duties as delivering
45,000 copies of the monthly
Victims’ Advocate newspaper,
attending
numerous
community resource events
displaying JC activities, and
organizing the many JC
fundraising activities such as
Champions for Justice and the
Together We Can Campaign
Breakfast.
Born and raised in
Gainesville, Florida, Cindy
moved to Jacksonville and
graduated from Paxon Senior
High in 1965. Instead of going
to college, she got a job to help
her mother support her three
younger
siblings.
She
attended
Florida
Junior
College, then obtained State
licensing to sell life, health and
property
and
casualty
insurance. She became a
claims adjuster, and then in
Cindy Mouro
1990
became
executive
administrative assistant to the
President and the Senior VP of
Miller Electric Company. She
retired in January 2012 to care
for her husband and the love
of her life, Bill, until he passed
away in November 2014.
her
husband’s
After
passing, Cindy sought to
regain her emotional balance
and physical energy by
helping others. She began
searching for something to fill
the void left after Bill died, so
she prayed about it. She says
as a result of her prayers, “The
Lord led me to the Justice
Coalition where I have been
helping out in the office and
on special events for the last
eight months.”
When asked why she chose
to become a volunteer with
Justice Coalition, she offers the
following explanation: “I had
met
Justice
Coalition’s
Executive
Director,
Ann
Dugger, some years ago
through her outreach to Miller
Electric. I admired her passion
commitment
to
and
advocating for victims’ rights.
Ann reminded me not long
before that I had remarked
that when I retired one day I
would like to do some
volunteer work with Justice
Coalition.”
Cindy says she was
accustomed to working at big
corporations with all the
resources necessary to run an
efficient operation. It has been
an eye-opening experience to
work with a non-profit
organization such as the
Justice Coalition with limited
staff and financial resources.
She says “the camaraderie and
mutual respect for one another
exhibited by Ann and her
small staff would make any
organization or corporation
proud. It makes me feel
honored to be accepted as part
of the JC family.”
So hats off to one of JC’s
most dedicated and hardworking volunteers, Cindy
Mouro.

Hotel Scam Alert! “Travelers beware”
On the Lighter Side ...
A Quiz for our very bright readers!
This is a quiz for people who know everything! These are not trick
questions; they are straight questions with straight answers.
1. Name the one sport in which neither the spectators nor the
participants know the score or the leader until the contest ends.
2. What famous North American landmark is constantly
moving backward?
3. Of all vegetables, only two can live to produce on their own
for several growing seasons. All other vegetables must be
replanted every year. What are the only two perennial
vegetables?
4. What fruit has its seeds on the outside?
5. In many liquor stores, you can buy pear brandy, with a real
pear inside the bottle. The pear is whole and ripe, and the
bottle is genuine; it hasn’t been cut in any way. How did the
pear get inside the bottle?
6. Only three words in standard English begin with the letters
`dw’ and they are all common words. Name two of them.
7. There are 14 punctuation marks in English grammar. Can
you name at least half of them?
8. Name the only vegetable or fruit that is never sold frozen,
canned, processed, cooked, or in any other form except fresh.
9. Name six or more things that you can wear on your feet
beginning with the letter ‘S.’
Answers To Quiz:
Crooks never run out of
ways to get something for
nothing, and the scams they
use to bilk unsuspecting folks
out of their hard-earned cash
seem endless. Now that
summer has arrived and you
may be traveling, look out for
this one reported by a recent
victim:
This is one of the smartest
scams I have heard about. You
arrive at your hotel and check
in at the front desk. Typically
when checking in, you give the
front desk your credit card (for
any charges to your room) and
they don’t retain the card. You
go to your room and settle in.
All is good. The hotel receives a call and
the caller asks for (as an
example) room 620 - which
happens to be your room. The
phone rings, you answer and
the person on the other end
says the following: ‘This is the
front desk. When checking in,
we came across a problem
with your charge card
information. Please re-read me
your credit card numbers and
verify the last 3 numbers on
the reverse side of your charge
card.’
Not thinking anything
wrong, since the call seems to
come from the front desk, you
oblige. But actually, it is a scam
by someone calling from

The one sport in which neither the spectators nor the
participants know the score or the leader until the contest
ends: Boxing.
North American landmark constantly moving backward:
Niagara Falls. The rim is worn down about two and a half
feet each year because of the millions of gallons of water that
rush over it every minute.
Only two vegetables that can live to produce on their own
for several growing seasons: Asparagus and rhubarb.
The fruit with its seeds on the outside: Strawberry.
How did the pear get inside the brandy bottle? It grew inside
the bottle. The bottles are placed over pear buds when they
are small, and are wired in place on the tree. The bottle is left
in place for the entire growing season. When the pears are
ripe, they are snipped off at the stems.
Three English words beginning with dw: dwarf, dwell and
dwindle.
Fourteen punctuation marks in English grammar: Period,
comma, colon, semicolon, dash, hyphen, apostrophe,
question mark, exclamation point, quotation mark, brackets,
parenthesis, braces, and ellipses.
The only vegetable or fruit never sold frozen, canned,
processed, cooked, or in any other form but fresh: Lettuce.
Six or more things you can wear on your feet beginning with
‘S’: Shoes, socks, sandals, sneakers, slippers, skis, skates,
snowshoes, stockings, stilts.

outside the hotel. They have
asked for a random room
number, then ask you for your
credit card and address
information. They sound so
professional that you think
you are talking to the front
desk.
If you ever encounter this
scenario on your travels, tell
the caller that you will be
down to the front desk to clear
up any problems. Then, go to
the front desk or call directly
and ask if there was a problem.
If there was none, inform the
manager of the hotel that
someone tried to scam you of
your credit card information,
acting like a front desk
employee.
This was from someone
who has been duped – and is
still cleaning up the mess.
