Current Situation:
Citizen safety while on Duval County roads is of the utmost concern to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office (JSO).

Traffic enforcement is the primary tool used by JSO to provide safe driving conditions. Currently all six zones have a Traffic Unit that consists of marked units, motorcycles and undercover vehicles used to enforce traffic laws. In addition, the DUI Enforcement Unit acts as a deterrent for drunk driving violations.
